You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including business stakeholders, data engineers, AI Team and technical leads, to ensure alignment between business needs and data architecture and define data models for specific focus areas.

• Support the AI team with generative AI use cases powered by Snowflake's LLM functions, such as text summarization, classification, and Q&A on enterprise data.
• Implement and manage vectorized data pipelines for semantic search and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) within Snowflake.
• Stay current with evolving Snowflake AI capabilities (Cortex, Snowpark Container Services, Document AI, and Feature Store) and apply them to improve data accessibility and intelligence.
