What you'll do

As written by Mercor · Read the original

What They Do Day-to-Day

- Bring structure and clear ownership to how data is organized in Snowflake across projects and teams

- Design narrow, role-based access controls, and partner with automation so access is granted and revoked as people join, change teams, or leave

- Extend row access policies and PII masking across all sensitive datasets

- Migrate data from a variety of vendor and internal sources into properly owned, governed homes

- Own Fivetran connector health and cost, Airflow/Astronomer pipeline reliability and on-call, and Hex governance across company-wide dashboards

- Monitor and right-size Snowflake warehouse spend

- Help build CDC/streaming ingestion and other internal data platform tooling

Requirements

What We're Looking For

- Hands-on experience with Snowflake administration: roles, grants, warehouses, cost/performance tuning

- Experience designing data access and governance models (RBAC, row-level security, PII) at scale

- Comfort owning vendor tooling end to end (Fivetran, Airflow/Astronomer, or similar), including on-call

- Track record migrating or re-architecting live production data systems without breaking dependent teams

- Strong SQL and Python, with infrastructure fluency to make judgment calls, not just execute a spec

- Experience owning CDC/streaming pipelines in production (Debezium, Kafka, Snowpipe Streaming or similar), including reasoning about delivery semantics, partitioning, and safe cutovers between systems.
