Job description

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.

Are you the kind of person who gets satisfaction from automating many aspects of your work and non-work life? Are you able to do this while finding the time to still keep great human connections?

We are looking for an AI-native, first principles thinker who will work alongside our CEO and ELT members to drive change one project and one team at a time across Snowflake. Working closely with our product teams, you will help us reimagine what is possible today and what should be built for tomorrow. Significant experience building AI agents of various kinds is a requirement, as is a solid grasp of data and analysis. Software engineering experience is a plus but not strictly necessary.

This position is based in Menlo Park, CA.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Build AI agents that solve real business problems. You will design, build, and deploy agents across Snowflake functions — from automating executive reporting to creating tools that help sales, marketing, and engineering teams work at 10x speed.
• Partner with product teams to shape what gets built. You will be embedded with our product organization, providing first-hand signal on what works and what's missing. Your day-to-day usage of Snowflake's own AI capabilities will directly inform the product roadmap.
• Drive transformation one team at a time. Rather than writing strategy decks, you will sit with a team, understand their workflows, and build AI-powered solutions that change how they operate — then move to the next.
• Serve as a thought partner to the CEO and executive team. You will use AI tools to stress-test strategies, surface insights from data, and provide data-backed perspectives in real-time. This is a seat at the table for someone early in their career.
• Set the standard for AI-native operations. You will define and demonstrate what an AI-powered operating model looks like at Snowflake — automated reporting, predictive metrics, LLM-driven communications, agentic workflows — and help scale it across the company.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Required

• 1-3 years of professional experience in technology, consulting, or a high-growth environment
• Demonstrated experience building AI agents — not just using ChatGPT, but designing multi-step agentic workflows, tool-use patterns, and AI pipelines that run autonomously
• Strong data fluency: comfortable querying, analyzing, and reasoning about data (SQL, Python, or equivalent)
• First principles thinking: you break problems down to fundamentals and rebuild from there, rather than relying on playbooks
• Exceptional communication: you can translate technical concepts into business impact and write clearly for an executive audience
• Low ego, high agency: you are comfortable operating behind the scenes, picking up whatever needs doing, and working across every level of the organization
• Computer science degree or equivalent hands-on technical experience

Preferred

• Familiarity with the Snowflake platform and the AI Data Cloud ecosystem
• A public portfolio of AI projects — GitHub repos, shipped products, blog posts, or side projects that demonstrate your builder instinct

WHY THIS ROLE

This role is a career catapult. You will gain a decade's worth of executive experience in a fraction of the time. You will be at the center of the AI revolution, helping to steer one of the most important data companies in the world — not from the sidelines, but by building the tools and systems that change how we operate.

If you are the kind of person who has already automated half your life and is looking for a bigger canvas, we want to talk to you.

Every Snowflake employee is expected to follow the company's confidentiality and security standards for handling sensitive data. Snowflake employees must abide by the company's data security plan as an essential part of their duties. It is every employee's duty to keep customer information secure and confidential.

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.
