  • Operates and governs data ingestion/integration pipelines, including ADF orchestration and Coalesce-based data modeling for the Snowflake EDW, ensuring reliability, lineage, and deployable, version-controlled models.
  • Manages security, access controls, secrets, and auditing across data platforms and tooling; ensures proper handling of highly sensitive PHI in compliance with HIPAA and partners with security/compliance stakeholders to meet policy and regulatory requirements.
  • Leads incident response, troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and problem management for production and critical environments; participates in on-call support as required and maintains runbooks, deployment guides, and operational documentation.
  • Drives continuous improvement using an automation-first, AI-enabled approach by applying standardization, templates, and intelligent tooling to improve developer/analyst experience, increase deployment velocity, and reduce operational risk.

Qualifications

  • Cloud Data Platforms (Primary): 8 to 10+ years administering and supporting enterprise data platforms, with primary focus on cloud services (Azure data services and Snowflake) and support for on-premises SQL Server.
  • Centralized Deployments & DevOps: 5+ years building and operating standardized release processes and CI/CD pipelines for database, ETL/ELT, and analytics artifacts, with strong source control and change management discipline.
  • Reliability & Performance: Proven experience operating mission-critical data systems, including performance tuning, monitoring/alerting, capacity planning, incident response, and resilient backup/restore and DR practices.
  • Governance & Security: Experience implementing access controls, auditing, and secure configuration across data platforms, partnering with security/compliance stakeholders, and supporting HIPAA-regulated environments.

Skills

  • Cloud data platform administration: Hands-on administration of Snowflake and Azure data services (Azure SQL DB/MI), including security, performance tuning, cost management, and operational support; supports on-prem SQL Server.
  • Cloud database services: Working knowledge administering and operating Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Database for PostgreSQL, and MongoDB (security, monitoring, performance/capacity, and troubleshooting).
  • Azure Data Factory (ADF): Build/support ADF orchestration with production monitoring, alerting, and troubleshooting.
  • Snowflake administration: Manage warehouses, roles/grants, resource monitors, performance tuning, and cost management for a modern cloud EDW.
  • Data modeling & ELT tooling: Use Coalesce (or similar) to build modular, version-controlled models; strong understanding of dimensional modeling and data quality/lineage concepts.
  • Release engineering for data platforms: Ability to package and deploy SQL code, SQL Agent jobs, SSIS packages, SSAS models, and SSRS reports via CI/CD with repeatable promotion across environments; familiarity deploying/refreshing downstream analytics tools (e.g., Tableau, Alteryx).
