· Rewrite and optimise Teradata SQL; convert Teradata-specific functions to Snowflake equivalents.
· Automate operational tasks using Python and/or Shell scripting.
· Perform source-to-target data reconciliation and validate transformation logic.
· Document solutions, data flows and design decisions; communicate progress to stakeholders.
REQUIRED SKILLS & EXPERIENCE
· Strong Snowflake architecture expertise and hands-on SQL skills (performance tuning and optimisation).
· Proven Teradata SQL knowledge including utilities, functions and migration/conversion experience.
· Solid background in data warehousing and ETL/ELT design; hands-on IDMC experience preferred.
· Deep knowledge of Snowflake features: Snowpipe, Streams/Tasks, Time Travel/Cloning, micro-partitions, stages, file formats and RBAC.
· Cloud platform experience: Azure, AWS or GCP.
