Time-travel / snapshot queries
Partition evolution & schema evolution safety
Snowflake Iceberg external tables, query tuning, clustering, cost control, RBAC/masking

Stay ahead of industry trends in cloud data, big data processing, and real-time analytics.
YOUR PROFILE
5+ years in data engineering, with hands-on production experience building open lakehouses using Snowflake + Apache Iceberg
