Lead Snowflake Optimization

3 weeks ago

Bengaluru, India FinOpsly Full time

Role Summary 


We’re a fast-growing startup building a multi-tenant SaaS application, and Snowflake is the backbone of our data layer. We’re looking for a hands-on Senior Snowflake Platform Engineer who can own Snowflake end-to-end — from account administration and security to performance optimization and automation. This isn’t an advisory role; you’ll be building, tuning, and scripting every day. 


What You’ll do: 

  • Act as Snowflake Account Admin across multiple accounts, warehouses, and databases. 
  • Design and enforce multi-tenant security and RBAC policies to protect customer data. 
  • Create and manage roles, warehouses, schemas, and integrations for scalable tenant usage. 
  • Lead query and warehouse optimization — clustering, partitioning, scaling, caching, scheduling — to maximize performance and minimize cost. 
  • Implement continuous monitoring for optimization opportunities (performance + cost). 
  • Build automation pipelines that not only recommend but execute optimizations (warehouse scaling, auto-suspend policies, query improvements). 
  • Write Python-based automation and data engineering scripts for provisioning, monitoring, and reporting. 
  • Partner with data engineers and product teams to design efficient data pipelines and data models. 

 

What You’ll Bring 

  • 5+ years in data engineering / database systems engineering. 
  • 3+ years of hands-on Snowflake account administration in enterprise or SaaS environments. 
  • Proven expertise in Snowflake optimization (query tuning, warehouse scaling, clustering, caching). 
  • Strong SQL and Python skills for data engineering and automation. 
  • Experience with multi-tenant security and RBAC in Snowflake. 
  • Familiarity with at least one cloud platform (AWS, Azure, GCP). 
  • Startup mindset: hands-on, automation-driven, optimization-first thinker. 


Preferred: 

  • SnowPro Advanced certification (Database Admin or Architect). 
  • Experience with Terraform, dbt, or automation frameworks for Snowflake provisioning. 
  • Background in FinOps / cloud cost optimization practices. 
  • Experience in regulated SaaS environments (SOC2, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI). 
  • Prior experience building multi-tenant SaaS architectures. 


Success Metrics (First 3 – 6 Months) 

  • Deliver a secure, multi-tenant Snowflake environment with strong RBAC and data isolation. 
  • Establish continuous monitoring for performance and cost optimization, surfacing actionable insights. 
  • Build automation that executes optimization recommendations, reducing manual overhead and driving measurable efficiency gains. 


Why Join us 


You’ll be the optimization and security lead for Snowflake — ensuring our SaaS platform is fast, cost-efficient, and secure at scale. You’ll work directly with the founding team, own critical decisions, and see your optimizations immediately impact customers. 


If you’re passionate about making Snowflake perform at its best, this role is for you.
