Build the future of the AI Data Cloud. Join the Snowflake team.

Snowflake’s founders started from scratch and designed a data platform built for the cloud that is effective, affordable, and accessible to all data users. But it didn’t stop there. They engineered Snowflake to power the Data Cloud, where thousands of organizations unlock the value of their data with near-unlimited scale, concurrency, and performance. This is our vision: a world with endless insights to tackle the challenges and opportunities of today and reveal the possibilities of tomorrow.

Our product offering runs on multiple cloud providers including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. Our infrastructure self-optimizes, provides high availability and data protection across cloud providers so our users can focus on using their data, not managing it.

Our team builds and operates the Cloud Services layer of Snowflake. Cloud Services is the control plane for Snowflake allowing us to dynamically route queries and scale our infrastructure to meet our costumes demand of billions of queries per day. We own the lifecycle and execution of all queries Snowflake processes giving us an opportunity to continually improve our customer’s experience on our product while we balance and optimize performance, cost, and easy of use.

We are actively looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead and grow this team as we look to scale our systems, improve efficiency, and enable new compute paradigms for Snowflake users. This is a unique opportunity to have an impact on Snowflake’s core infrastructure and shape the vision of core services the rest of Snowflake operates on.
