Senior Snowflake Data Architect

Remote

6-Month Contract

Pay Rate: $110.00 - $120/hour

A growing government technology company is seeking a Snowflake Data Architect to design and build the foundation of its enterprise data platform. This organization delivers software solutions that help public-sector agencies serve citizens more effectively, operating across both commercial and FedRAMP-authorized AWS environments. As the company expands its portfolio of government applications, it is investing in a scalable, secure, and compliant data environment to power reporting and analytics. The ideal candidate is a hands-on architect who enjoys owning a platform from the ground up and setting the technical direction for a growing data team.

Job Description:

We are looking for a Snowflake Data Architect to lead the design, configuration, and implementation of a new Snowflake data environment within a FedRAMP-compliant AWS landscape. This individual will own the architecture roadmap end to end, from defining foundational data models to recommending ingestion and orchestration tooling, while also rolling up their sleeves to build. The role partners closely with DevOps engineers who handle infrastructure provisioning and with data engineers who focus on data transformation and reporting. The platform will support government applications that handle sensitive citizen information, so a strong focus on security and compliance is essential. The initial engagement centers on standing up the environment, after which the work is expected to shift toward ongoing optimization and support.

Required Skills:

• Extensive experience architecting and implementing Snowflake data platforms from the ground up
• Proven ability to design scalable, foundational data models that can grow with new applications, data sources, and reporting needs
• Strong experience working within AWS environments
• Experience configuring data solutions to meet FedRAMP or similar federal compliance standards
• Hands-on experience with AWS DMS and AWS Glue for data migration and integration
• Ability to evaluate and recommend data ingestion and orchestration tools, such as Prefect and Airflow
• Comfort working in a hands-on capacity while collaborating with DevOps and data engineering teams
• Ability to provide technical leadership and guide architecture decisions for less senior engineers
• Strong understanding of data security, access controls, and governance best practices

Bonus / Soft Skills:

• Experience working with sensitive data such as PII or PHI
• Background supporting government, public-sector, or healthcare data initiatives
• Familiarity with BI and reporting tools such as Sigma
• Strong communication skills and the ability to document architecture decisions clearly
• Self-directed and comfortable operating in an evolving environment without rigid timelines
