AS A SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER AT SNOWFLAKE, YOU WILL
Design, build, test, deploy, and operate backend software and distributed systems that power Snowflake Warehouses.
Own medium-sized engineering projects independently from design through delivery, and contribute to larger initiatives across the warehouse organization.
Build and evolve capabilities related to warehouse features, billing, and usability.
Improve the reliability, scalability, performance, and operational health of warehouse systems in production.
Work across the full software lifecycle, including technical design, implementation, testing, rollout, on-call participation, issue triage, and follow-through on production improvements.
Partner closely with engineers, product managers, and adjacent teams to deliver durable solutions to customer and business problems.
Make thoughtful tradeoffs between speed, quality, maintainability, and long-term architectural health.
Use strong debugging and systems thinking to resolve complex production issues and improve service behavior over time.
Raise the bar through design reviews, code reviews, operational rigor, and clear technical communication.
Apply AI-assisted workflows where they increase engineering leverage, speed, or quality without compromising judgment.
Requirements
Preferred Qualifications
Master's or PhD in Computer Science or a related technical field.
Experience with distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, data platforms, or large-scale backend services.
Experience working on billing, metering, control plane systems, or customer-facing platform capabilities.
Familiarity with performance-sensitive or highly reliable production environments.
Comfort navigating ambiguity and breaking down complex technical problems into practical solutions.
Snowflake is growing fast, and we’re scaling our team to help enable and accelerate our growth. We are looking for people who share our values, challenge ordinary thinking, and push the pace of innovation while building a future for themselves and Snowflake.
