4. Build highly reliable and fault-tolerant software to meet the needs of the largest customers.
5. Ensure operational readiness and maintainability of the service with a focus on reliability, availability, debuggability, and performance.
6. Design and build Kubernetes-based OCI compliant container compute platform features and capabilities that scale and evolve with changing business and customer needs.
7. Contribute to an early-stage product with the potential for significant impact on Snowflake's growth.

OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE MOST OF THE FOLLOWING QUALIFICATIONS:

• Excitement to learn new things and a passion for growth.

• Strong fundamental computer science skills and experience with distributed systems.
• Hands-on coding experience in Java, C++, or Go is highly desirable.
• Ability to work on-site in our downtown Bellevue office.

BONUS POINTS FOR THE FOLLOWING INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE:

• Experience building products or services with Kubernetes.
• Designing and implementing products with multi-cloud support (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Implementing multi-tenant systems focusing on performance, isolation, and security.

All Snowflake employees are expected to adhere to confidentiality and security standards for handling sensitive data, including following the company's data security plan to keep customer information secure and confidential.
