- Re-engineer or modernize existing ETL/ELT pipelines for the Snowflake platform.
- Design data ingestion patterns including batch, incremental/CDC, and near-real-time processing where required.
- Perform source-to-target mapping, data reconciliation, validation, and migration testing.
- Optimize Snowflake workloads for query performance, warehouse utilization, scalability, and cost.
- Identify and remediate performance bottlenecks in SQL queries, data models, pipelines, and warehouse configurations.
- Design appropriate data security, RBAC, masking, encryption, auditing, and governance controls.
- Ensure solutions meet applicable healthcare data security and privacy requirements.
- Work with application, infrastructure, security, data engineering, DBA, business, and healthcare teams throughout the migration.
- Lead technical design reviews and provide guidance to developers and data engineers.
- Support production cutover, troubleshooting, hypercare, and post-migration optimization.
- Prepare architecture diagrams, migration plans, technical specifications, runbooks, and operational documentation.
