• Experience designing semantic layers or semantic views that translate business concepts into governed, reusable definitions for analytics and AI
• Proficiency in Python and experience applying software engineering practices such as testing, source control, CI/CD, and code review
• Experience with streaming, event-driven, or connector-based ingestion using technologies such as Kafka, Openflow, Snowpipe, APIs, or comparable integration frameworks
• Experience supporting production data platforms on Azure and integrating with enterprise identity and security patterns
• Ability to diagnose and resolve complex data, pipeline, application, and performance issues
• Ability to work cross-functionally with platform administration, security, data engineering, analytics, application, and business teams
• Experience creating, deploying, evaluating, and maintaining AI agents or generative AI applications in production
• Experience with Snowflake Cortex Analyst, Cortex Search, Snowpark, Streamlit in Snowflake, or Snowflake-native application development
• Experience with Snowflake data sharing, Marketplace listings, secure data products, or customer-facing data delivery patterns
