* Ensure data integrity, quality, and performance throughout the migration and in the final Snowflake-based platform.
* Create and maintain documentation for data pipelines, workflows, and architecture.
* Support testing, validation, and go-live processes for the new data platform.
Required Skills & Experience:
* 4+ years of experience in data engineering roles, with strong expertise in Python.
* Hands-on experience with Snowflake architecture, performance tuning, and SQL development.
* Proven experience with data migrations, preferably from Redshift and/or Talend to modern cloud data platforms.
