Imagine stepping into a high-impact leadership role where you don't just write code—you define the blueprint. As a senior data leader for our client, you will guide the evolution of an enterprise-scale cloud data estate, turning raw data into strategic intelligence that protects millions of our clients customers.


Why Join Our Client?

Our client has built on a culture of high performance, professional challenge, and healthy work-life balance.

  • Cutting-Edge Stack: This is a modern, cloud-native ecosystem leveraging Snowflake, Core AWS services, and Python at true enterprise scale.
  • Architectural Ownership: You will champion advanced frameworks like Data Vault 2.0 (Hubs, Links, Satellites) and modern event-driven ELT pipelines.
  • Dual Impact: You get the best of both worlds—acting as a hands-on technical authority while mentoring a talented engineering squad and setting coding standards.
  • Complex Data Challenges: You will solve intricate integration puzzles, including data warehousing with core platforms like Guidewire (PolicyCenter, ClaimCenter, BillingCenter).


The Mission: What You’ll Accomplish

As a Senior (Lead) Data Engineer, you will drive technical excellence, solution design, and platform modernization across the organization.

  • Define Technical Architecture: Evolve the enterprise data platform using Snowflake, advanced ELT patterns, and metadata-driven designs.
  • Drive Snowflake Optimization: Own performance tuning, warehouse sizing, and cost optimization utilizing advanced features like Snowpipe, Streams, Tasks, and Snowpark.
  • Lead & Mentor: Serve as the technical anchor for data engineers—conducting code reviews, establishing DataOps/DevOps best practices, and fostering continuous learning.
  • Own the Delivery Pipeline: Translate complex business requirements into scalable batch, micro-batch, and real-time ingestion pipelines.
  • Ensure Operational Excellence: Implement robust monitoring and observability frameworks (CloudWatch, Datadog) to guarantee reliability and data accuracy.


What You Bring

We are looking for a heavyweight data engineer who combines deep cloud architecture expertise with the ability to influence technical direction.

  • Proven Track Record: 8+ years of data engineering experience, including 2+ years leading teams or guiding architecture decisions.
  • Snowflake Mastery: Deep hands-on experience with advanced Snowflake capabilities, automated ELT frameworks, and expert level SQL optimization skills.
  • Modeling & Integration Expertise: Proven success implementing Data Vault 2.0 and dimensional models, alongside proficiency in tools like Informatica (IDMC/PowerCenter), AWS Glue, and Python.
  • Cloud Platform Prowess: Solid experience designing and delivering large-scale data solutions natively within AWS.


Preferred Tech Toolbelt (Nice to Haves)

  • Modern DataOps/DevOps (Terraform, GitHub Actions)
  • Streaming technologies (Kafka, Kinesis)
  • Data quality/governance frameworks (Great Expectations, Monte Carlo, Alation, Collibra)
