Solution Architect (Snowflake / Cloud Data Platform)

A senior-level architect who can own the big-picture view of the Snowflake data platform — not hands-on pipeline building.

Key responsibilities:

• Own end-to-end solution architecture for a layered Snowflake Cloud data platform (raw/staging → conformed → curated layers)
• Define and enforce architecture standards, data-modeling conventions, and design patterns for the engineering team
• Review and approve technical designs, data models, pipeline architectures, and orchestration strategy before implementation
• Align business and technical stakeholders on architecture direction and technical priorities
• Provide technical oversight and decision-making across concurrent workstreams

Ideal candidate profile:

• Senior Snowflake expert (architect-level, not just a developer) with experience across multiple Snowflake platform builds, not just one
• Strong at big-picture planning, prioritization, and stakeholder communication, not just technical build
• Able to ramp quickly on a new client's technical environment, tooling, and delivery processes
• Prior experience setting architecture standards or leading governance at an enterprise level
• Prior consulting/professional-services experience across multiple client environments
