• Experience working within large-scale cloud data platforms.
• Knowledge of MLOps and AI solution deployment best practices.

Candidate Profile
The ideal candidate will be a hands-on technical architect with a strong engineering mindset. You should be comfortable moving between architecture, design, and development activities while delivering production-grade solutions.
We are looking for someone who can:

• Design scalable enterprise architectures.
• Write and review code.
• Build robust data and AI solutions.
• Lead technical discussions with stakeholders and engineering teams.
• Drive best practices across Snowflake, data engineering, and GenAI initiatives.
