Senior Data Engineer (Snowflake)

About this role

Solvd Inc. is a rapidly growing AI-native consulting and technology services firm delivering enterprise transformation across cloud, data, software engineering, and artificial intelligence. We work with industry-leading organizations to design, build, and operationalize technology solutions that drive measurable business outcomes.

Following the acquisition of Tooploox, a premier AI and product development company, Solvd now offers true end-to-end delivery—from strategic advisory and solution design to custom AI development and enterprise-scale implementation. Our capability centers combine deep technical expertise, proven delivery methodologies, and sector-specific knowledge to address complex business challenges quickly and effectively.

We are looking for a Senior Data Engineer to join a small, cross-functional engineering team modernizing a data platform for a global financial services client. You’ll be working hands-on with Snowflake and dbt — designing data models, migrating legacy Oracle-based ETL processes, and contributing to architectural decisions alongside client stakeholders.

This is a delivery-oriented role with real ownership. You’ll take responsibility for assigned components end to end, participate in client-facing technical discussions, and work directly with both engineering and business teams to define and implement solutions.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Design, develop, and optimize data models and transformation workflows using Snowflake and dbt.

- Contribute to the design and implementation of scalable data architecture covering raw through semantic data layers.

- Support modernization of existing Oracle-based ETL and reporting processes.

- Investigate and address data performance, consistency, and reconciliation challenges.

- Develop and maintain data processing, transformation, and automation solutions using Python.

- Participate in solution design discussions and contribute to architectural decisions.

- Support DevOps-related activities including deployment, configuration, and operational aspects of the data platform.

- Take ownership of assigned technical components and deliverables within the team.

- Participate actively in client-facing technical discussions and project meetings.

REQUIRED SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

- Strong hands-on experience with Snowflake — data transformation, modeling, and performance optimization.

- Solid understanding of data modeling principles, data architecture, and scalable data solution design.

- Practical experience with dbt for developing and maintaining data transformation workflows.

- Proficiency in Python for data engineering, scripting, and automation.

- Experience with ETL/ELT processes and modern data pipeline development.

- Familiarity with DevOps practices and containerized environments including Kubernetes.

- Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills around data quality, performance, and reconciliation.

- Good communication skills — able to collaborate directly with client stakeholders and participate in regular technical discussions with US-based teams.

- English proficiency sufficient for regular technical discussions with US-based teams.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- Experience with Oracle databases, Oracle ETL, and legacy reporting environments.

- Prior involvement in data platform modernization or migration from Oracle to Snowflake.

- Experience with Power BI and semantic reporting models.

- Snowflake professional certification.

- Experience designing and optimizing analytical data models for enterprise reporting.

- Experience working with distributed, cross-functional engineering teams.

- Background in insurance, reinsurance, or financial services.

- Availability for occasional business trips to St. Louis, USA — approximately once every three weeks for one to two days.

When you join Solvd, you'll…

- Shape real-world AI-driven projects across key industries, working with clients from startup innovation to enterprise transformation.

- Be part of a global team with equal opportunities for collaboration across continents and cultures.

- Thrive in an inclusive environment that prioritizes continuous learning, innovation, and ethical AI standards.
