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.

We are looking for a senior leader in the cloud data platform space to join our team and help shape some of the most cutting edge

features at Snowflake! This individual will work collaboratively and hands-on with Product Management and Engineering to

accelerate customers adopting our most challenging features and architectures. We are looking for an experienced professional

capable of both applying their past experiences to new architectures and using their aptitude to learn the next new wave of

technologies that can benefit customers on the Snowflake Data Cloud.

This position will be a part of the SnowCAT team (Customer Acceleration Team) within the product organization. SnowCAT is a group

that brings deep experience with database, application, container, machine learning, and AI technologies to investigate the

newest, most demanding customer scenarios and validate emerging features and capabilities in the Snowflake product. SnowCAT team

members work closely with product managers, engineering leaders, and a variety of field organizations and customers to turn

today’s ‘bleeding edge’ into tomorrow’s mainstream.

• Engage with customer CTO’s and senior business/technical leaders to deploy, prove, evaluate, and advise on new Snowflake

capabilities.

• Dig into selected competing cloud data platform products to evaluate their newest features and best practices and compare them

against Snowflake’s capabilities.

• Analyze Snowflake telemetry and understand Snowflake’s internals to investigate the root cause for feature behavior, both

desired and undesired.

• Curiosity and motivation to work with a variety of distributed computing / database platforms in the cloud and understand

strengths & weaknesses impacting performance

• Deep experience with a variety of database-centric workloads including analytic queries, data engineering / ETL, machine

learning, streaming data / IOT, and transaction processing.

• Expert SQL skills and strong experience in other programming languages/frameworks adjacent to Snowflake, including but not

limited to Python, Java, Javascript, Scala, etc.

• An ability to thrive in the dynamic environment that comes with being part of a hyper-growth company. That means flexibility

and willingness to jump in and do whatever it takes to be successful.

• Proven expertise in understanding the voice of the customer and partnering across engineering, marketing, and sales to deliver

compelling products that meet those customers’ needs.

• 20+ years of experience in a technical role for data-centric software or services -- testing and tuning products, implementing

complex solutions with customers, product management, or benchmarking.
