Description

Data Pipeline Architecture & Development 
Design and implement scalable, resilient data pipelines using Snowflake features including Snowpipe, Tasks, Streams, Dynamic Tables, and advanced SQL.
Build and maintain DBT models with strong testing, documentation, and lineage.
Develop Python ingestion frameworks for files and APIs, including schema validation, retries, and metadata capture.
Engineer ingestion for CSV, fixed width multi record layouts, JSON, XML, Excel, and semi structured formats.
Design Mainframe VSAM data ingestion pattern for complex EBCDIC data formats.
Schema Drift & Schema Evolution
Detect, analyze, and manage schema drift across file, API, and replicated database sources.
Implement metadata driven schema evolution strategies to ensure downstream stability.
Coordinate schema changes through controlled CI/CD workflows.
Database Replication & CDC
Configure and manage Qlik Replicate tasks for CDC and full load replication from Oracle, • SQL Server, and DB2.
Ensure idempotent, auditable, and recoverable replication pipelines with strong • monitoring and reconciliation.
Data Governance, Security & Tokenization • Implement and maintain Snowflake Data Masking policies, including dynamic • masking, conditional masking, and role based masking rules.
Apply Protegrity tokenization for sensitive data fields across ingestion and transformation • layers.
Enforce RBAC, data access controls, and governance standards across Snowflake and • supporting systems.
Orchestration & Automation
Build and schedule workflows using Astronomer Airflow, ensuring dependency • management, retries, SLAs, and observability.
Integrate pipelines with enterprise DevOps processes using GitLab and Azure DevOps • for CI/CD automation.
Version Control & Code Quality
Manage code repositories using GitLab, including branching strategies, merge requests, • code reviews, and approvals.
Monitoring, Alerting & Performance Optimization • • Implement monitoring and alerting for ingestion pipelines, schema drift, replication, and transformation workloads.
Optimize Snowflake compute, storage, and query performance; scale ingestion pipelines • to meet evolving data volume and latency requirements."
