Responsibilities
• Lead data platform strategy and execution. Partner with the CDAO to shape overall data strategy and translate it into engineering roadmaps with clear owners, timelines, and outcomes. You're not inheriting a finished system — you're making consequential architectural decisions that compound over time. • Lead data platform strategy and execution. • Own the Snowflake data lake end to end. Develop, maintain, and evolve the platform and its associated services — from ingestion to serving. This includes architecting data models and patterns that support analytics, AI/ML pipelines, and customer-facing products. • Own the Snowflake data lake end to end. • Build governance that actually works. Design and operate pipelines covering data quality, lineage, access control, and regulatory requirements. Governance here isn't a checkbox — it's infrastructure. • Build governance that actually works. • Drive cross-functional data initiatives. Collaborate with platform engineering, AI, and product teams to move shared priorities forward. You're the connective tissue between data infrastructure and the rest of the org. • Drive cross-functional data initiatives. • What Success Looks Like • 30 days: Completed a deep orientation into the Snowflake platform, existing data models, and governance infrastructure.

You know whose problems you're solving. • 30 days: • 60 days: Made your first meaningful platform contributions. You've identified an area for improvement, proposed an approach, and started executing with team buy-in. • 60 days: • 90 days: Owned a substantive initiative end-to-end — a governance pipeline, a new data model, or a cross-functional build with platform or AI. You're operating with real autonomy and have a clear point of view on what the roadmap should prioritize next. • 90 days: • You have a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, and 7+ years of data engineering experience, including senior or lead scope with real architectural ownership.
