Versapay is a company that transforms accounts receivable into a competitive advantage, enabling finance leaders to drive business forward. As a Senior Data Engineer, you will optimize and scale the Snowflake architecture while supporting machine learning operations and enhancing data observability. Your role will involve architecting data solutions, automating workflows, and collaborating with peers to ensure pipeline reliability and data quality.
Responsibilities:
- Architect for the Future: Optimize our existing Snowflake architecture, establishing strict environmental isolation and scalable structures that prepare our data for eventual downstream commercialization and product offerings
- Drive Agentic Engineering: Leverage tools like Snowflake Cortex, Cursor, and UiPath to automate workflows, build semantic models, and deploy agents that accelerate time-to-value
- Establish Data Observability: Implement and manage robust data quality and observability frameworks to ensure pipeline reliability and proactive issue resolution
- Operationalize Machine Learning: Design and maintain MLOps pipelines to support the seamless rollout, monitoring, and lifecycle management of ML models directly within Snowflake
- Execute Shared Ownership: Partner closely with your peers under the Data Engineering Manager to share responsibilities across pipeline management, MLOps, and architecture, avoiding siloed knowledge and ensuring comprehensive team coverage
- Model for Enterprise Utility: Synthesize disparate operational entities into a unified, enterprise-wide semantic model that supports both internal analytics and future data monetization efforts
