About this role

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.

You will work at the intersection of systems design, long-term architecture, and real-world engineering execution. In this specific role, you will lead the evolution of our declarative data pipelines, focusing on streaming ingestion and transformations. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Drive the technical strategy and architecture for key Data Platform initiatives, focusing heavily on real-time data movement and incremental processing. - Lead design reviews and set engineering standards across teams. - Identify and resolve high-impact technical challenges and systemic bottlenecks to reduce latency and improve the efficiency of dynamic tables at cloud scale. - Mentor and grow senior engineers; raise the engineering bar. - Partner closely with product and infrastructure leadership on roadmap and direction. - Continuous hands-on technical deliverables in the most critical areas. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 14+ years of software engineering experience with deep expertise in distributed systems. - Demonstrated track record of defining and delivering platform-scale technical initiatives. - Expert-level knowledge of streaming
