  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including data analysts, journalists, and product managers to understand data requirements and deliver solutions.
  • Perform data modeling to optimize storage and retrieval processes within Snowflake.
  • Ensure data quality and reliability by implementing data validation and monitoring strategies.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to data integration, ETL processes, and performance bottlenecks.
  • Document data pipelines, data flows, and processes to maintain transparency and facilitate knowledge sharing.
