• Develop complex Data Models within Power BI and produce self service data visualization dashboards.

Data Integration:

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather data requirements and design integrations between Snowflake and other data sources (e.g., on-premise databases, cloud platforms, data lakes).
• Work with our vendors to develop efficient ways to exchange data.
• Implement data ingestion frameworks using tools like Snowpipe for real-time or batch processing.

Optimization & Performance:

• Optimize Snowflake queries, databases, and storage to improve performance and reduce costs (e.g., clustering, pruning, and partitioning).
• Monitor and troubleshoot data pipelines and optimize processes for reliability, efficiency, and scalability.
• Develop and execute a cost-conscious data lake ingestion strategy by evaluating, prioritizing, and onboarding high-value data sources to ensure scalable, efficient, and business-aligned data architecture.
