Build the future of data. Join the Snowflake team.

We own the platform that manages the lifecycle of all of Snowflake’s data warehouse workloads. We build infrastructure that perform request routing, metadata persistence and monitoring, error handling, and request retry.

Come join us as the team solves hard problems to support new workloads, improve query performance, improve reliability as we ensure exactly once semantics in a heavily distributed environment.

Our product offering runs on multiple cloud providers including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. Our infrastructure self-optimizes, provides high availability and data protection across cloud providers so our users can focus on using their data, not managing it.

OUR IDEAL SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER WILL HAVE :

  • 4+ years industry experience designing, building and supporting large scale infrastructure in production.
  • Experience building large scale distributed fault tolerant infrastructure.
