Snowflake Data Engineer

Snowflake Data Engineer, 6-12 month contract - Financial services experience.

Hybrid - 3 days/week on site, 2 days remote (West Houston) - Heavy preference on someone already local to Houston, will entertain relocators but not as a priority.

We are seeking an experienced Snowflake Data Engineer to own the design, development, and operationalization of a modern cloud data platform that powers board-level financial dashboards (Net Revenue, EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, etc.). You will lead Snowflake environment design, write production-grade SQL, build robust dbt transformation pipelines, and contribute light-weight Python utilities that automate quality checks and CI/CD. A solid grasp of financial consolidations, inter-company eliminations, and multi-currency reporting is essential so you can partner effectively with FP&A, Accounting, and Executive stakeholders.

Minimum qualifications

• 12-15 years end-to-end data engineering experience, 3+ years Snowflake (Enterprise scale)

• 4+ dbt projects in production (or 3 if each is over 12 months)

• Advanced SQL (analytic functions, dynamic pivots, query-profile debugging).

• Working Python (Snowpark, pandas) for ELT helpers and test harnesses.

• Proven delivery of executive-grade financial dashboards or data marts—must demonstrate understanding of eliminations, inter-company balances, multi-GAAP roll-ups.

• CI/CD with Git, dbt Cloud/CLI, and at least one orchestrator (Airflow, Prefect, Dagster).

• Cloud experience (AWS preferred: S3, IAM, Glue, Lambda or Step Functions).

• Strong communication skills: can brief non-technical finance leaders yet dive deep with architects.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or Finance/Accounting; MS or MBA a plus.

• Preferred / Nice-to-Have

• Snowflake Snowpipe, Stream-&-Task, Dynamic Tables.

• Experience integrating SAP, Oracle E-Biz, or Workday Financials.
