Job description

  • Implement Snowflake schemas and object lifecycle strategies optimized for risk and portfolio analytics workloads.
  • Develop scalable, dimensional, and time-series data models supporting portfolio hierarchies, positions, security master integration, exposures, and risk metrics.
  • Build robust ELT pipelines using dbt and native Snowflake capabilities, including Streams, Tasks, and Snowpipe, to support daily and intraday data processing.
  • Implement efficient change data capture and incremental processing strategies for position, pricing, risk, and reference data.
  • Develop and maintain high-performance tables, views, and materialized views aligned with performance-sensitive analytical use cases.
  • Lead query performance optimization efforts, including clustering strategy design, micro-partition awareness, warehouse sizing, caching behavior, and workload management.
  • Establish data quality frameworks, including reconciliation controls, completeness checks, monitoring, and alerting for financial datasets.
  • Automate Snowflake deployments and SQL transformations using GitLab CI/CD pipelines and version control best practices.
  • Document data models, lineage, architectural decisions, governance controls, and operational runbooks.
  • Troubleshoot production failures, perform root cause analysis, and remediate issues impacting reporting timelines.
