ETL (extract, transform, load) process knowledge: The developer needs to manage data migration into Snowflake. This includes extracting data from various sources, transforming it into a usable form, and loading it into the Snowflake platform.

Cloud computing skills: As Snowflake is a cloud-native platform, familiarity with cloud services, particularly AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform, is necessary.
