Snowflake Architect | Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra | Up to ~$220k inc. super
The role:
Design and deliver Snowflake-based data platforms end to end for major enterprise clients across financial services, government, and retail.
You'll own architecture decisions, from virtual warehouses through to security and clustering strategy, while working alongside data architects and modellers to shape how these platforms get built.
One of the most active Snowflake practices in Australia right now, backed by a run of industry recognition and a genuinely deep pipeline of enterprise-scale work.
AI is being built into the platform work as standard, not bolted on, so there's real scope to work across Cortex and vector search rather than just hear about it in a roadmap deck.
Must have:




Deep Snowflake architecture experience: virtual warehouses, micro-partitioning, RBAC, clustering strategy, query optimisation
Hands-on with contemporary tooling: dbt, Fivetran, or Coalesce
Cloud integration experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP
Comfortable in client-facing, presales, or stakeholder-facing contexts
Australian citizenship or PR
Must not be:
Someone who's only worked Snowflake at a surface, querying level
Someone without genuine architecture ownership, not just "involved in" decisions
Vendor-only background with no enterprise delivery context
