The role

As a Data Platform Engineer at Shalion, you will own the foundations the rest of the data organization depends on every day: our Snowflake platform, our AWS lakehouse built on Iceberg tables, our Airflow orchestration layer, and the Terraform code that provisions all of it.

Your Responsibilities

• Own and evolve our Snowflake platform: warehouses, databases, storage integrations, stages, external tables, shares and network policies.

• Design and maintain our access model: role hierarchies, grants and least-privilege permissions for people, service users and external partners.

• Manage the platform as code with Terraform, reviewed in pull requests and deployed through GitHub Actions.

• Operate our AWS lakehouse: ingestion of parquet files and Iceberg tables from S3, plus the IAM plumbing that connects AWS and Snowflake safely.

• Orchestrate and harden pipelines in Apache Airflow, and drive reliability and cost efficiency with Synq and SELECT.dev.

• Apply security and governance best practices: authentication, secret management, naming conventions and clear data ownership.

Your profile should include the following:

• 3+ years of experience in data platform, data engineering, or platform/infrastructure roles in production.

• Hands-on Snowflake or similar experience as a platform, not only as a SQL engine: you know what storage integrations, stages, shares, warehouses and the RBAC model are and when to use each.

• Solid experience with Terraform or equivalent IaC.

• Experience with Apache Airflow or a comparable orchestrator, including operating it and not only writing DAGs.

• Experience with AWS (S3, IAM) and working knowledge of what Iceberg tables are and how they fit into a lakehouse.

• Daily usage of GitHub for version control and CI/CD, and a security-first mindset.

• Strong communication skills with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Languages: Fluent in Spanish and English B1 or higher.

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Hands-on experience with Iceberg tables on AWS (Glue Catalog, Lake Formation, S3 Tables, Athena or Snowflake Iceberg).

• Experience with data observability or Snowflake cost tooling such as Synq, Monte Carlo or SELECT.dev.

• Experience with dbt, Airbyte, or containerized workloads (Docker).

• Experience using AI coding assistants to increase your leverage, with good judgment when reviewing generated code.

• Proven experience designing roles and permissions, and a genuine interest in data governance.

• Experience with SQL and Python

Soft Skills We Value

• Ownership – You treat the platform as yours, including the boring parts that keep it running.

• Adaptability – Ability to find solutions in uncertain situations.

• Quality-Oriented – Awareness of data quality, security and the importance of testing.

• Collaboration – Experience working in Agile environments and supporting other teams as internal customers.
