Contract: Senior Backend Engineer - Snowflake Data Platform at Upwork

This role is designed for a seasoned Senior Backend Engineer who thrives at the intersection of application development and data infrastructure. The ideal candidate has deep expertise in Python and SQL, with a proven track record of building and automating services for large-scale data platforms like Snowflake. Since this is a specialized "Independent Contributor" contract role within the Hybrid Workforce Solutions team, you should be comfortable working autonomously in a remote, global environment. A standout aspect of this position is the opportunity to work on the "Intelligent Data Platform," focusing on high-impact areas like reverse ETL, Airflow orchestration, and cost optimization for a major tech marketplace. While the role is fully remote for candidates in Latin America, it offers significant stability as a full-time engagement. You will benefit from a structured environment that utilizes modern tools like AWS MWAA and maintains high standards for production-ready code. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Are an expert in **Python and SQL** with a strong background in AWS environments. * Have hands-on experience managing or automating **Snowflake** data warehouses. * Can overlap your workday with Pacific Standard Time (8 AM – 11 AM PST) for team collaboration. * Excel at troubleshooting complex data ingestion pipelines and performance-tuning backend services.
