•
Translate domain concepts and Critical Data Elements (CDEs) into clear conceptual and logical models by partnering with product and data owners.
•
Define and maintain canonical entities, conformed dimensions, and metric definitions aligned to the glossary/ontology across multiple business areas.
•
Implement physical data models on Snowflake, including star/snowflake schemas and, when appropriate, Data Vault and 3NF structures.
•
Optimize Snowflake implementations using micro-partitioning considerations, materialized views, search optimization, and clustering choices, and document design decisions such as SCD handling and surrogate keys.
•
Define and maintain data product contracts, including schemas, SLAs/SLOs, versioning, and change policies.
•
Ensure models are discoverable and well-governed with complete metadata, lineage, and ownership in the catalog.
•
Embed governance-by-design by classifying and tagging CDEs/PII in models and enabling enforcement of tag-based masking and row-access policies, including providing evidence for attestations.
•
Publish modeling standards and runbooks to support performance and reliability goals, including meeting BI latency targets (under 10 seconds where required) under concurrency and providing guidance on warehouse strategy, result caching, and model refactoring.
•
Specify validation rules and profiling thresholds (freshness, volume, schema) tied to CDEs, and integrate tests into CI/CD and stewardship workflows.
•
Create documentation and enablement materials, including model diagrams, semantic definitions, and consumer guides, and partner with stewards and analysts to drive adoption and deprecate redundant reports and datasets.
•
Work model-as-code using Git-based CI/CD and testing, collaborating with stewards and owners and designing for privacy and performance from day one.
•
Mentor junior data modelers as needed.
What you will bring
•
Bachelor’s degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Data/Information Management, or a related field.
•
10+ years of data modeling and warehouse design experience, with proven delivery of conceptual, logical, and physical models consumed at scale.
•
Hands-on Snowflake data modeling experience (star/snowflake, and 3NF/Data Vault where appropriate) and performance patterns including materialized views, search optimization, and clustering/micro-partition hygiene.
•
Experience designing data contracts and working with CDEs, including schemas/SLOs, versioning, and integrating models with glossary, lineage, and stewardship processes.
•
Experience applying governance and privacy practices, including object tags, alignment to classification/retention, and enabling tag-based masking and row-access.
•
Tooling experience with SQL and dbt or equivalent for model-as-code (tests, documentation, CI/CD), plus modeling/diagram tools and catalog/lineage platforms.
•
Strong communication skills, including the ability to reconcile competing narratives and converge on trusted, reusable semantics.
What will set you apart
•
Experience mapping business architecture and ontology to data models, including metric layers and semantic models for BI.
•
Exposure to data fabric concepts, including automation of tagging/metadata and policy propagation.
•
Helpful certifications or familiarity, including Snowflake SnowPro (Data Engineer/Architect), dbt certification, and CDMP/DCAM familiarity.
