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.

Snowflake’s unique architecture allows us to maintain an agile delivery cadence while still providing a very high degree of stability and reliability for customers.

We are intent on providing a highly available, reliable and scalable tools/services infrastructure that enables our engineering teams to develop, test, debug and release enterprise software quickly.

At Snowflake, our goal is to make each individual feel valued for his or her contributions to the company’s mission. We look for smart people who want to do remarkable things. We strive to create an environment of casual intensity where people enjoy coming to work every day.

You will be building infrastructure and automation frameworks for Cloud‑based and SaaS Data Warehouse services. These span the full stack—including helping set the direction for how we continuously integrate, deploy, verify and monitor our product/services. You will drive the development of testing infrastructure, automation frameworks, and tools to have robust automated testing pipelines for the Snowflake Data Cloud. This is an awesome opportunity to work with cutting‑edge cloud technology in a highly visible role.
