• Experience participating in on-call, production support, or incident response for live systems.
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative, low-ego working style.
• A customer-oriented mindset and good judgment about reliability, usability, and business impact.

Responsabilidades

• 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.
