Our client, a leader in Data Platform Operations, is looking for a skilled Snowflake Admin and Data Support Associate to join their team for a 5+ months engagement. This project involves providing operational support for their enterprise cloud data platforms, specifically focusing on Snowflake administration, performance optimization, and production support. This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

• Provide day-to-day operational support for Snowflake environments, including handling support tickets for access requests and user provisioning.
• Monitor Snowflake costs and usage through dashboards and resource monitors, identifying opportunities for optimization.
• Handle deployments and releases from platforms like Git Hub.
• Collaborate with data engineering teams to troubleshoot data pipeline issues and support ETL/ELT processes.
• Participate in on‑call rotation to provide production support for Snowflake and related data platforms.

• 3+ years of IT experience with exposure to cloud data platforms, databases, or data engineering environments.
• Deep expertise in Snowflake, Python, and AWS (S3, EC2, Lambda). This isn't a learning role—you need to be a subject matter expert.
• Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage your own time effectively to meet project goals.
• Experience with Git/Git Hub for code versioning and deployment processes, and a foundational knowledge of SQL and database concepts.
• Strong communication skills (verbal and written) to provide clear and concise status updates to the project team and technical documentation.
