Have solid experience building web-based applications, supporting micro-services and deploying them in a cloud environment, with focus on data platform infrastructure
Support other teams' migration to Snowflake, providing technical guidance and platform solutions rather than direct data engineering

Have strong communication and collaboration skills, with an ability to contribute to engineering initiatives across teams adopting the Snowflake platform
Be able to work with our technical leadership teams to contribute to the technical evolution of our Snowflake platform and its integration with our broader applications
Have solid understanding of modern software engineering, from test automation to architectural principles, applied to data platform development
Understand what it takes to develop resilient, scalable and secure data platform solutions
Recognise that people build software and working with others is key to success, especially when enabling other teams to adopt new platform capabilities
Our tech stack - We use a wide variety of tools and technologies across our products, and no-one is expected to have deep experience of all of them.
