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.

You will leverage your technical expertise, best practices and reference architectures highlighting Snowflake’s Data Platform capabilities across data ingestion, transformation, and lakehouse workloads. You are equally comfortable in both a business and technical context, interacting with executives and talking shop with technical audiences.

  • Work hands-on with prospects and customers to demonstrate and communicate the value of Snowflake technology throughout the sales cycle, from demo to proof of concept to design and implementation

  • Immerse yourself in the ever-evolving industry, maintaining a deep understanding of competitive and complementary technologies and vendors and how to position Snowflake in relation to them

  • Collaborate with Product Management, Engineering, and Marketing to continuously improve Snowflake’s products and marketing

ON DAY ONE, WE WILL EXPECT YOU TO HAVE:
  • 5 - 10+ years of data engineering experience within the Enterprise Data space with a strong preference for candidates possessing deep, hands-on Snowflake architecture experience.

  • 5+ years experience working with AI/ML technologies

  • Outstanding presentation skills to both technical and executive audiences, whether impromptu on a whiteboard or using presentations and demos.

  • Ability to connect a customer’s specific business problems and Snowflake’s solutions

  • Ability to do deep discovery of customer’s architecture framework and connect those with Snowflake Data Architecture.

  • Broad range of experience within large-scale Database and/or Data Warehouse technology, ETL, analytics and cloud technologies. For example, Data Lake, Data Mesh, Data Fabric

  • Hands on Development experience with technologies such as SQL, Python, Pandas, Spark, PySpark, Hadoop, Hive and any other Big data technologies

  • Deep understanding of data integration services and tools for building ETL and ELT data pipelines such as Apache NiFi, Matillion, Fivetran, Qlik, or Informatica.

  • Familiarity with streaming technologies (ex. Kafka, Flink, Spark Streaming, Kinesis) and real-time or near real time use cases (ex. CDC)

  • Experience designing interoperable data lakehouse architectures and experience working with Iceberg, Delta, and Parquet

  • Strong architectural expertise in data engineering to confidently present and demo to business executives and technical audiences, and effectively handle any impromptu questions

  • Bachelor’s Degree required, computer science, engineering, mathematics or related fields, or equivalent experience preferred

Every Snowflake employee is expected to follow the company’s confidentiality and security standards for handling sensitive data. Snowflake employees must abide by the company’s data security plan as an essential part of their duties. It is every employee's duty to keep customer information secure and confidential.

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.
