Snowflake Infrastructure Architect
About the role
As a Snowflake Infrastructure Architect, you will make an impact by securing and automating the infrastructure that powers our Snowflake environment on Azure, from private network connectivity and identity to infrastructure-as-code and secrets management. You will be a valued member of the Cloud Infrastructure team and work collaboratively with security, data engineering, and DevOps stakeholders.
In this role, you will:
• Configure Azure Private Link, VNets, private endpoints, and DNS so Snowflake traffic stays off the public internet.
• Wire up SAML/OAuth authentication and automate user provisioning via SCIM from Azure AD through Entra ID SSO.
• Own Terraform modules for Snowflake and AzureRM providers, with remote state in Azure Blob and storage-lease locking.
• Build Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions pipelines with PR-gated Terraform plan/apply across environments.
• Store and auto-rotate Snowflake credentials in Azure Key Vault, and inject secrets into pipelines securely.
