Experience developing Snowflake-native applications: stored procedures (JavaScript/Python), Tasks, Streams, Dynamic Tables, and Snowpark for building backend processing engines.

Understanding of REST API design, OpenAPI specifications, and API integration patterns in frontend applications.

Knowledge of authentication and authorization patterns including JWT, OAuth2, and role-based access control.

Experience with Docker and Docker Compose for local development and containerized deployments.
