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

Apache 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

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

(Glue Catalog, Lake Formation, S3 Tables, Athena or Snowflake Iceberg). Experience with

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
