Job Description

Kafka Streaming Specialist Snowflake Implementation.

£550-650 per day.

London. Remote Work.

Outside IR35

 

Months from Launch.  Build the Data Engine.  Snowflake & Kafka.

 

This isn’t a maintenance role. This is a “build the plane while flying” role.

A brand new Snowflake implementation. This is what makes this role exciting. You’re not fixing someone else’s work. You’re not fixing someone else’s work or messing with poor legacy code. This is build from scratch.

 

I need an experienced Snowflake Data  Engineer for the next key stage in this business’s development. 

 

For take off, you’ll need to be capable of building a production-ready Snowflake warehouse from nothing. This isn’t a role for someone who will sit in meetings for 6 months discussing theory before filing a plan. This is for a builder, who can act now, and land this project on time. There is no runway available for delays.

 

And the primary challenge is to keep an eye on Snowflake credits and keep costs under control. With real-time streaming pipelines processing high volumes of events you need to avoid costs spinning out of control. But not everything needs to be low latency and part of the role will be to identify and segment what can be batch processed. The correct mentality here is to treat those Snowflake credits as if they were your own cash.

 

If you’ve got strong Snowflake implementation (as opposed to user) experience and dbt, kafka streaming, AWS Lambda then I’m keen to have a conversation. 

 

** Immediate start needed
