Our mission is to establish reliable, analytics, and AI-ready data platforms, transforming Avaloq Core data into governed, reusable data products that drive reporting, analytics, automation, and cutting-edge AI use cases.

In this pivotal role, you will be instrumental in scaling our Snowflake-based analytics platform, shaping data products, ensuring governance, and enabling AI capabilities, while serving as a technical reference point for both internal teams and clients. This position is tailored for seasoned professionals who prioritize platform-first thinking over project-first approaches.
Key Responsibilities
Snowflake Analytics & Platform Engineering:
- Design and enhance Snowflake-native analytical data products.
- Create reusable, governed semantic datasets for positions, transactions, cash, performance, P&L, and risk.
- Utilize Snowflake native features like Dynamic Tables, Streams and Tasks, Secure Views, RBAC, data sharing, and strategies for cost and workload optimization.
Data Semantics & Modeling
- Convert Avaloq Core Platform (ACP) structures into business-relevant analytical models.
- Employ contemporary modeling methods such as dimensional modeling and medallion or data product-oriented architectures.
- Establish consistent metrics, KPIs, and analytical domains that can be reused across clients.
- Ensure datasets are discoverable, well-documented, and reliable.
Governance, Security & Quality
Implement Snowflake-native governance frameworks including masking policies, row-level security, object tagging, and access policies. Integrate data quality, security, and trust into the platform by design.
AI & Advanced Analytics Enablement
- Prepare the platform for enterprise-level AI applications.
- Facilitate AI and advanced analytics use cases leveraging Snowflake Cortex, Snowpark ML, vector search, and document intelligence.
- Emphasize AI enablement and operationalization rather than merely data science experimentation.
- Support analytics, intelligence, and automation scenarios across banking sectors.
Collaboration & Technical Leadership
- Serve as a senior technical reference for Snowflake within the team.
- Collaborate with Product Managers, Architects, Analysts, and Engineers across various locations.
- Assist in proofs of concept and other technical initiatives.
