Role description
Responsibilities: - Healthcare or payer domain experience, especially with member, claims, provider, quality, or reference data. β€’ Snowflake SQL: Highly skilled. Must be able to develop complex transformations, optimize performance, and work confidently with CTEs, advanced joins, and analytic/window functions. β€’ Snowflake Data Engineering: Strong real-world experience building curated data layers using medallion architecture principles across bronze, silver, and gold datasets. β€’ Semantic Modeling / Semantic Layer Engineering: Must be able to define business-friendly metrics, dimensions, grain, relationships, and reusable semantic views on top of Snowflake data. β€’ Snowflake Cortex / AI-Enabled Analytics: Experience supporting Snowflake Cortex-based analytics workflows, semantic intelligence, or agentic analytics use cases is strongly preferred. β€’ Data Quality, Profiling, and Validation: Must be able to identify natural and surrogate keys, assess cardinality and distribution, validate transformations, and ensure trustworthy semantic outputs. β€’ Strong communication and ownership: Able to work across engineering, product, and analytics partners, clarify requirements, and proactively drive work with limited direction. Location: - β€’ Remote Educational Qualifications: - β€’ Engineering Degree – BE/ME/BTech/MTech/BSc/MSc. β€’ Technical certification in multiple technologies is desirable. Skills: - Snowflake Cortex, DBT , SQL Experience in evaluating / troubleshooting and measuring agent performance, identifying issues, and optimizing it Experience with dbt, semantic view design, or governed self-service analytics patterns. Python experience for automation, metadata processing, data validation, or AI-assisted engineering workflows. Β·Exposure to agentic AI, natural language analytics, or Snowflake Cortex Analyst / Cortex Search use cases. Specific technologies to be used and level of proficiency? Β· Snowflake SQL: Highly skilled to expert level. Β· Snowflake: Strong hands-on experience with performance tuning, secure data design, and curated data modeling. Β· Semantic Modeling / Semantic Views: Strong proficiency in defining business metrics, dimensions, relationships, grain, and reusable semantic abstractions. Β· Python: Some experience desired, with preference for intermediate or higher skill for automation and validation use cases. Β· dbt: Preferred real-world experience developing modular transformations, tests, and deployment patterns. Β· Snowflake Cortex: Preferred experience with Cortex-enabled analytics, semantic intelligence, or agent-supporting workflows. Day to Day Activities: - β€’ Design and implement scalable Snowflake data models and pipelines that align with business objectives and agentic AI use cases. β€’ Build curated bronze, silver, and gold data layers and reusable semantic assets that support trusted analytics and natural-language data access. β€’ Collaborate with product, analytics, and engineering partners to translate complex requirements into governed data products and semantic models. β€’ Optimize Snowflake queries, warehouse configurations, and transformation performance for reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency. β€’ Design and implement data quality validation, profiling, and testing strategies to improve trust in downstream semantic outputs. β€’ Contribute to lineage-aware transformation patterns, documentation, and engineering standards for reusable data assets. β€’ Use dbt where applicable to develop modular transformations, tests, and deployment patterns; prior hands-on dbt experience is preferred. β€’ Support Snowflake Cortex-enabled analytics, semantic intelligence, and agent-assisting workflows where applicable. β€’ Troubleshoot production issues and implement durable long-term solutions. β€’ Document architectural decisions, semantic definitions, and data lineage.
