We are representing a well established consumer brand undergoing a major AI transformation initiative.
The organization is designing and standing up a next generation, AI ready data platform on AWS, with Snowflake at the core. They are looking for a professional who will take ownership of the platform as the external advisory engagement transitions, ultimately becoming the internal Data Platform Lead.
This is not a "ticket taking" data engineering role. This is a build, architect, and own mandate.
The business is investing heavily in foundational data capabilities to support:
*
GenAI enablement
*
Revenue management and pricing optimization
*
Marketing analytics
*
Retail and consumer insights
*
Enterprise data modernization
You would be stepping in at a critical inflection point, helping shape the long term data and AI backbone of the organization.
What You'll Be Doing:
Platform Ownership
*
Build and scale ingestion pipelines and core platform foundations
*
Own architecture, governance, reliability, and scalability
*
Enhance and mature the medallion architecture
*
Implement Snowpark based compute models
Engineering Execution
*
Develop within Snowflake (Snowpark, Snowpipe, streaming)
*
Leverage AWS core data and compute services
*
Drive transformations with dbt
*
Integrate marketing, retailer, Nielsen, and consumer behavior data sources
*
Use Fivetran for ingestion workflows
*
Manage infrastructure as code via Terraform
*
Maintain version control standards via GitHub
Strategic Impact
*
Translate business use cases into scalable platform components
*
Advise leadership on what should or should not be built, and why
*
Act as the internal SME across Snowflake and AWS data engineering
*
Partner with business stakeholders and product owners
*
Lead knowledge transfer and transition planning from consulting to in house
This individual will ultimately lead the internal data platform function and collaborate closely with a separate application engineering team.
What We're Looking For
*
Strong hands on Snowflake experience, including Snowpark and advanced ingestion patterns
*
Deep AWS data platform expertise
*
Experience building and scaling enterprise data platforms end to end
*
Architecture level thinking, not just pipeline development
*
Experience supporting analytics and AI use cases
*
Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills
*
Ability to operate independently and define standards
Weekly visits to the office in New York are strongly preferred
