Set the technical bar through code reviews, architecture reviews, and engineering standards
Drive the parallel run and cutover process: shadow mode → read cutover → write cutover → Snowflake decommission
Mentor and support 2–3 engineers on the migration team through pairing, reviews, and design sessions
Partner with your manager to co-own sprint planning, backlog grooming, and stakeholder communication for the migration program
Shadow and participate in hiring for the remaining engineers on the team: resume review, technical interviews, debrief
Act as the primary technical point of contact for cross-functional stakeholders (Data, Product, Platform)
Contribute to incident management and on-call processes

Hands-on experience with Databricks — Unity Catalog, Delta Lake, Auto Loader, DLT, or Databricks SQL Warehouses

Experience with Apache Spark / PySpark for large-scale ETL
Proven ability to mentor engineers and elevate team technical quality
Strong communication skills — able to represent technical tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders
Genuine interest in growing into people management
Nice to have:
Solid dbt experience — model development, incremental strategies, data testing; dbt-databricks adapter is a strong plus
Prior experience with project or technical lead responsibilities, coordinating across multiple engineers
