Responsibilities
~2 min read- →Own the role-based access model: role hierarchy, least-privilege grants across the medallion layers, and scoped access for service accounts, BI tools, and AI agents rather than broad inherited access
- →Manage grants as code and run the access review cycle, so the process itself is the audit evidence
- →Own Snowflake administration: security and network policies, data masking and PII controls, storage organization, compute cost, and retention
- →Extend the medallion architecture and the Terraform-managed footprint. Own state, module design, and environment promotion, including full separation of development and production
- →Own ingestion through Fivetran, third-party connectors, and custom extraction where no connector exists, including a defined review of what data is allowed to land
- →Own orchestration across dbt platform and GitHub Actions, own materialization strategy and model performance, move critical models off nightly full rebuilds onto incremental patterns, and cut latency where decisions are waiting on stale data
- →Build source-schema change detection, so an upstream field change surfaces as an alert before it reaches a report
- →Stand up observability: freshness SLAs on critical tables, alerting on failure and drift, and an incident path with clear ownership
- →Contribute to the foundational modeling layer the Analytics Engineers build on: source-to-staging patterns, conformed dimensions, shared entities, and SCD patterns that make history reliable
- Define the dbt project architecture and the git-based development workflow, CI, and testing standards every model passes through, including the macro and package libraries and the isolated development environments that let analysts contribute safely
- Partner on data retention and customer data handling policy, and implement the technical controls behind it
- Establish how the team uses AI-assisted development: Claude Code skills, agents, and evals as part of the workflow, held to the same review bar as anything else
- Build the tooling and setup that gets a new engineer or analyst productive in days, not weeks
- Document as you build. If it isn't written down, it isn't done
- Mentor engineers and analysts, and set the technical bar for how data engineering gets done at Eve
- 8+ years in data engineering, including time at a staff or senior IC level setting technical direction others followed
- Deep Snowflake administration, especially designing a role-based access model from scratch: role hierarchy, least-privilege grants, and scoping access for service accounts and tools. Plus masking, PII controls, and cost management
- Strong Python and SQL, with production experience across ingestion (Fivetran or similar), orchestration (dbt platform, GitHub Actions, or Airflow), and cloud infrastructure
- Advanced dbt: modeling patterns, macros, incremental models, testing, and slim or state-based CI. Experience building SCD tables from multiple sources
- Experience building the dbt developer experience for contributors outside a core engineering team: project structure, guardrails, and CI that lets people with mixed skill levels extend a codebase safely
- Experience with layered warehouse architecture (medallion or equivalent) and managing infrastructure as code with Terraform, including state and environment promotion
- You've built the access and governance layer somewhere that had to pass an audit
- Track record building reliability practice from zero: freshness SLAs, alerting, incident response, schema change detection
- Proficiency with AI-assisted development such as Claude Code, including agentic pipeline design and skill-based workflows, and comfort integrating tools via MCP servers
- Strong communication, a habit of mentoring, and comfort building where the playbook doesn't exist yet
Nice to Have
~1 min read- Experience in a regulated or high-sensitivity data environment (legal, healthcare, financial services)
- Experience supporting ML or GenAI workloads: feature stores, unstructured data, Snowflake Cortex
- B2B SaaS, especially selling to small and mid-sized businesses or professional services firms
