About the role
As Senior Platform Engineer, you'll be responsible for designing, engineering, automating, and operating enterprise data and analytics platform capabilities that enable secure, scalable, and reliable data products, analytics solutions, and AI-enabled workloads.
You'll provide broad platform engineering capability across National Grid’s strategic data and analytics ecosystem, with emphasis on Snowflake engineering, Azure administration, platform automation, Microsoft Fabric enablement, governance, reliability, and operational support. You'll develop reusable patterns and self-service capabilities that improve consistency, reduce manual effort, and make platform services easier for teams to adopt and operate.
What you'll do
- Design, build, configure, and support enterprise data and analytics platform capabilities across Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, Azure, Power BI, and associated services.
- Engineer and administer Snowflake capabilities including databases, schemas, roles, grants, warehouses, resource monitors, tasks, streams, secure data sharing, marketplace patterns, workload management, and operational controls.
- Develop reusable Snowflake patterns for onboarding, access management, data publication and consumption, workload isolation, environment configuration, and governed cross-business-unit data sharing.
- Improve Snowflake performance and cost efficiency through query analysis, warehouse design, monitoring, resource management, usage analysis, and FinOps practices.
- Build and maintain platform automation, CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure-as-Code, scripts, templates, and repeatable deployment patterns that reduce manual or ticket-driven administration.
