At Snowflake, we are powering the era of the agentic enterprise. To usher in this new era, we seek AI-native thinkers across every function who are energized by the opportunity to reinvent how they work. You don’t just use tools; you possess an innate curiosity, treating AI as a high-trust collaborator that is core to how you solve problems and accelerate your impact. We look for low-ego individuals who thrive in dynamic and fast-moving environments and move with an experimental mindset — who rapidly test emerging capabilities to discover simpler, more powerful ways to deliver results. At Snowflake, your role isn't just to execute a function, but to help redefine the future of how work gets done. Snowflake is the Data Cloud, a global network where thousands of organizations mobilize data with near-unlimited scale, concurrency, and performance. Inside Snowflake, the Developer Platform team is on a mission to win the hearts and minds of developers by making it seamless and intuitive to build with data. Our vision is to empower data engineers and app developers by delivering an exceptional, developer-first experience built on a foundation of simplicity, familiarity, and ease of use. We are looking for a Product Manager to take autonomous ownership of a core portfolio within the Developer Platform. You will manage the foundational interfaces and connectivity tools that developers rely on to interact with Snowflake. Unlike a typical feature-focused role, this position requires you to own a broader portfolio of products that determine how external applications connect to, automate, and build upon the Data Cloud. Working closely with engineering leadership, you will define the strategy for our programmatic surface area. Your goal is to ensure that as Snowflake’s capabilities grow, our developer ecosystem scales with it, prioritizing reliability, modern standards, and a friction-free developer lifecycle. AS A PRODUCT MANAGER ON THE DEVELOPER PLATFORM YOU WILL: * Own the product backlog and day-to-day execution for a key feature area of our developer platform. * Translate product strategy into detailed requirements, user stories, and clear specifications for your engineering team. * Become the subject matter expert for your product, serving as the go-to resource for engineering, marketing, sales, and the developer community. * Define and analyze the metrics that measure the success and adoption of your products. * Partner with senior product leaders to ensure your feature roadmap aligns with our broader strategic goals. * Engage directly with our developer community to deeply understand their workflows, pain points, and needs. OUR IDEAL PRODUCT MANAGER WILL HAVE: * 3-5 years of product management experience, with a proven track record of shipping products or features for a developer-facing tool, cloud service, or technical infrastructure product. We will also consider candidates with 5+ years of engineering experience in developer tools who are looking to transition into product management. * A strong understanding of the modern software development lifecycle, including CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform), and API design principles. * The ability to be a "technically credible partner" to engineering, capable of engaging in deep discussions about product architecture and trade-offs. * Deep empathy for developers, particularly those working with data, and a passion for solving their most frustrating workflow challenges. * Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with an ability to work effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Bonus Points For: * A technical degree (CS or Engineering) or equivalent software engineering experience. * Hands-on experience with Python, SQL, or Terraform. Why Join our Developer Platform Team at Snowflake: * Strategic Scope: You will own a portfolio that underpins the entire Snowflake ecosystem. Your work directly impacts how millions of queries and pipelines are executed daily. * Autonomy: This is a role for a self-starter. You will have the space to define the vision for your area and the support to execute it. * Impact: You will solve fundamental challenges for our most sophisticated customers, helping them treat Snowflake as a core part of their modern data stack. 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. How do you want to make your impact?
