• Design efficient ELT/ETL architectures for batch, near-real-time, and event-driven workloads

• Drive Snowflake performance optimization, workload management, and cost governance

• Define patterns for secure data access, RBAC, data masking, auditing, and governance

• Guide the use of Snowpark, Cortex, Streams, Tasks, Dynamic Tables, and other Snowflake capabilities where appropriate

AWS & Cloud Architecture

• Design cloud-native architectures using AWS services

• Define patterns for compute, storage, networking, messaging, event processing, secrets management, and observability

• Architect event-driven and serverless solutions using services such as Lambda, S3, SQS, SNS, EventBridge, API Gateway, and related AWS technologies

• Ensure architectures meet enterprise requirements for security, availability, disaster recovery, and scalability

• Establish infrastructure-as-code and environment-management standards

Salesforce & Enterprise Integration

• Architect integrations between Salesforce, Snowflake, AWS, and other enterprise platforms

• Define patterns for Salesforce API, Bulk API, Platform Events, Change Data Capture, and event-driven integrations

• Design reliable synchronization strategies between operational systems and analytical platforms

• Drive standardization of logging, tracing, alerting, and error-handling patterns

Security, Governance & Reliability

• Embed security and governance requirements into architecture from the beginning

• Design RBAC, secrets management, encryption, audit logging, and data protection patterns

• Partner with Security and Compliance teams on enterprise controls

• Define availability, reliability, backup, disaster recovery, and operational support standards

• Establish architecture and engineering practices that support production observability and incident response

Engineering Excellence

• Conduct design and code reviews for critical components

• Mentor engineers and raise engineering standards across teams

• Define CI/CD, automated testing, deployment, and release-management practices

• Create technical documentation, architecture diagrams, decision records, and implementation standards

• Drive proof-of-concepts when evaluating new technologies or architectural approaches
