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. We are hiring a Software Engineer II for our Cortex AI Frontend team. This team builds the AI/ML-powered user experiences that enable enterprises to converse with their structured data and extract insights in unprecedented ways - spanning the full product lifecycle from conception through deployment. In this role, you will build scalable, responsive, and intuitive user interfaces at the intersection of AI, data, and enterprise UX.

• Collaborate closely with product managers and UX/UI designers to convert user requirements into detailed technical tasks and robust UI components.
• Monitor, maintain, and optimize the frontend platform’s responsiveness, availability, and user experience.
• Partner with backend and cross-functional teams to integrate APIs and support backend services that power AI inference and data retrieval.
• Use AI coding assistants (such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or similar tools) as an integral component of your day-to-day software development workflow.

OUR IDEAL SOFTWARE ENGINEER WILL HAVE:

• 2+ years of professional experience designing and building production web applications.
• Actively use AI coding assistants in daily engineering workflows
• Strong hands-on proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and the modern React ecosystem.
• Solid understanding of core computer science fundamentals, including algorithms, data structures, UI design patterns, and state management.
• Proven ability to turn design mocks and product specs into production-quality code.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills for cross-functional collaboration across engineering, product, and design.
• BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).

BONUS POINTS FOR THE FOLLOWING:

• Experience building or shipping LLM-powered applications or conversational user interfaces.
• Familiarity with major cloud environments such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Prior exposure to data analytics, BI tools, or data visualization frameworks.
