We are looking for a Senior DSE Specialist to join our team. This role is well suited for a technically versatile professional who is comfortable moving between platform administration, development, and architecture discussions. You will work in a setting that values independent thinking and direct engagement with client stakeholders. This is a great opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the evolution of a modern data platform.

Provision users and roles while managing RBAC, security, and permissions across the platform
-
Support end users by troubleshooting access issues, query performance concerns, and data availability problems
-
Maintain a strong governance posture across the platform to ensure consistency and compliance
-
Write SQL for both DDL and analytical querying purposes
-
Use and modify existing CI/CD pipelines to support Snowflake deployments
-
Contribute to semantic model development, quality assurance, and governance practices
