San Mateo CA United States Snowflake Full time

Build the future of the AI Data Cloud. Join the Snowflake team.

There is only one Data Cloud. Snowflake's founders started from scratch and designed a data platform built for the cloud that is effective, affordable, and accessible to all data users. But it didn't stop there. They engineered Snowflake to power the Data Cloud, where thousands of organizations unlock the value of their data with near-unlimited scale, concurrency, and performance. This is our vision: a world with endless insights to tackle the challenges and opportunities of today and reveal the possibilities of tomorrow.

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. In our effort to enable our Data Cloud vision, we are actively hiring talented distributed systems developers. This role is a unique opportunity to make a significant impact on our elastic, large scale, high-performance computing environment.

Our team is called the Service-runtime team. We are responsible for building the highly available, scalable, multi-tenant "Cloud services" systems that underpin Snowflake services.

  • Understand trade-offs between consistency, durability and costs to build solutions which can meet the demands of rapidly growing services.
  • Ensure operational readiness of the services and meet the commitments to our customers regarding availability and performance.
OUR IDEAL DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS ENGINEER WILL HAVE:
  • 6+ years industry experience designing, building and supporting large scale systems in production.
  • Experience building large scale distributed fault tolerant services.
  • Excellent understanding of low level operating systems concepts including multi-threading, memory management, networking and storage, performance and scale.
  • Strong CS fundamentals including data structures, algorithms, and distributed systems.
  • Systems programming skills including multi-threading, concurrency, etc. Fluency in C++ or Java preferred.
  • Track record of identifying and implementing creative solutions.
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure - AWS, Azure or Google Cloud.
  • BS in Computer Science; Masters or PhD Preferred.
WHY JOIN THE ENGINEERING TEAM AT SNOWFLAKE?
  • Build an industry-leading Cloud Data Platform.
  • Solve challenging technical problems related to security, parallel and distributed systems, programming, resource management, large-scale system maintenance, and more
  • Work closely with our customers & partners, understand their use cases & needs, think strategically to seek the right problem to solve at the right time, and innovate with rigor.
  • Learn about and contribute to:
    • Super-robust and secure enterprise SaaS platform that services thousands of customers and hundreds of millions of complex queries daily.
    • Highly-scalable and reliable cloud platform that runs on hundreds and thousands of machines.
