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.

• Deliver features requiring close coordination with several partner teams.

• Be a strong contributor to the product vision and drive team planning.

• Pinpoint problems, instrument relevant components as needed, and ultimately implement solutions.

• Mentor and coach junior team members.

Our ideal Senior Software Engineer will have:

• B.S. or M.S degree in CS, MIS, or equivalent discipline

• 6+ years experience hands-on software engineering experience

• Deep understanding of modern application design architecture, good API design patterns, performance, and scale.

• Expertise in at least one of the following (bonus for more than one): Python, Java, Scala, GoLang.

• Excellent debugging and troubleshooting skills, especially in a cloud environment.

• Great communication skills, both verbal and written and an interest in working with a diverse set of peers and external developers.

• Genuine enjoyment of the art of building great software, and a love of learning new things.

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.
