Senior Snowflake Data Platform Lead

I'm recruiting on behalf of a Perth-based transport and logistics company for a Contract Snowflake Data Platform Lead to provide short-term technical ownership of their enterprise data platform.
This is a hands-on senior contract covering leave for the Data & Analytics Lead — ideal for an experienced Snowflake engineer who can hit the ground running, keep a live platform stable, and hand back a clean, well-documented environment.

What You'll Be Doing

• Taking day-to-day technical ownership of the Snowflake data platform
• Maintaining the existing RAW → SILVER → GOLD architecture and established development standards
• Supporting and troubleshooting Snowflake, dbt and Azure Data Factory pipelines
• Maintaining incremental/watermark-based ingestion and historical backfill processes
• Continuing onboarding of additional Ignition operational data using existing ingestion patterns
• Developing and maintaining dbt models, tests and business-serving GOLD datasets
• Supporting revenue, cost, operational and Power BI reporting datasets
• Investigating production issues including missing data, failed pipelines, dbt failures, performance problems, permissions and reconciliation differences
• Working with Data & Analytics, IT, Power BI, AI Engineering and business stakeholders as required

What We're Looking For

• Strong technical experience with Snowflake in production environments
• Advanced SQL and dbt experience
• Experience with Azure Data Factory, Azure DevOps and Git
• Data modelling experience, including RAW / SILVER / GOLD architectures
• Experience with Snowflake RBAC and security
• Experience with Power BI or similar enterprise BI platforms
• Python experience is advantageous

What's On Offer

• Short-term contract – 4 weeks
• The opportunity to take independent technical ownership of a live enterprise data platform
• Exposure to a modern data stack spanning Snowflake, dbt, Azure Data Factory and Power BI

If you're a Snowflake Data Platform Lead or Senior Snowflake Engineer who can independently diagnose issues across source → ADF → Snowflake → dbt → Power BI and provide a clean handover, I'd love to hear from you.
