Senior Platform/DevOps Engineer

· Administer and engineer Snowflake platform components (accounts/environments, warehouses, roles, grants, integrations, resource monitors) in alignment with least-privilege and operational best practices.

· Implement and maintain data protection controls for customer nonpublic personal information (NPI) within Snowflake, including data classification, dynamic data masking, column-level security, and row access policies.

· Develop and optimize Snowflake SQL for reliability and performance, including query tuning, warehouse sizing/scaling strategies, and workload management; lead cost-optimization initiatives by analyzing query and load patterns, reducing compute waste, and implementing guardrails (resource monitors, showback) for sustainable platform usage.

· Implement observability and operational readiness centered on the overnight load cycle: monitoring, alerting, logging, runbooks, incident and problem management, and root-cause analysis for platform and load issues.

· Support regulatory examinations and internal/external audits by producing evidence of access controls, encryption, change management, and data lineage (e.g., for regulatory examinations and audit requests).

· Maintain disaster-recovery and business-continuity readiness for the data platform consistent with defined RTO/RPO objectives and business continuity expectations.

· Partner with data/BI, information security, and compliance stakeholders to ensure platform capabilities meet business needs while maintaining security, compliance, and resiliency expectations.

· Maintain high-quality technical documentation (architecture, configurations, standards, runbooks, and operational procedures).

· Provide technical guidance and knowledge transfer to IT peers on DevOps practices, cloud engineering standards, and platform operational discipline.

· Other duties as assigned.

· Strong proficiency with Snowflake SQL and platform performance optimization (query profiling/tuning, warehouse sizing and scaling, workload management, cost governance), plus Snowflake data-protection features (masking, row access policies).

· Proficiency with batch file ingestion patterns: secure file transfer, load orchestration and scheduling, and load validation and reconciliation to source.

· Strong knowledge of CI/CD systems and GitOps practices for infrastructure and platform changes.

· Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code tooling (e.g., Terraform and/or Bicep) and automation/scripting (PowerShell, Bash, Python, etc.).

· Experience implementing operational controls: logging/monitoring/alerting, runbooks, incident and problem management, and post-incident improvement.

· Strong security mindset: least privilege, secrets management, auditability, protection of customer NPI, and secure-by-default infrastructure.

· Working awareness of the banking regulatory context as it applies to data handling and IT controls.

· Excellent verbal and written communication skills; ability to translate technical risk and design into clear business impact.

· Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to work under pressure of deadlines.

· Experience with Jack Henry or comparable core banking systems and their extract/batch file structures.

· Experience supporting a BI/analytics consumption layer (e.g., Power BI) on top of a cloud data warehouse.

· Experience with containerization and cloud-native patterns (e.g., Docker, AKS) where applicable to platform tooling.

· Experience in regulated or high-security environments (financial services a plus).

· Experience with data platform operational governance (resource monitoring, chargeback/showback, access reviews, and platform standards).

· Must exert up to 10 pounds of force occasionally and/or a negligible amount of force frequently.

· Sitting for long periods.

· Specific vision abilities required by this job include close vision and the ability to adjust focus.
