• Stay ahead of industry trends in data architecture, cloud analytics, and cybersecurity data challenges.

• Expertise in Snowflake: advanced performance tuning, storage optimization, security features (e.g., RBAC, data masking).
• Strong data modelling skills: experience with dimensional modelling (Kimball/Star Schema), data vault, or hybrid approaches.
• Hands-on experience with dbt: designing modular transformations, testing frameworks, and documentation.
• Solid SQL skills and experience with large-scale data processing.
• Familiarity with modern data stack tools (e.g., Fivetran, Tableau, etc.).
• Proven ability to design data architectures that meet stringent security, compliance, and privacy requirements.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across technical and business teams.
