San Mateo, United States Snowflake Computing Full time

Build the future of data. Join the Snowflake team.

We're hiring talented Cloud Services Engineers that are passionate about using software-based approaches to solve complex challenges and automate those solutions. You'll be part of the cloud engineering organization where we have a strong focus on using engineering and software practices to manage and scale our cloud infrastructure. As part of the organization who owns the relationships with our Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) you will be building products that improve the scalability of Snowflake.

You'll understand the CSP roadmap and products, and lead initiatives aimed at infrastructure, process, systems, and automation to achieve better efficiency and reliability. You will also discover bottlenecks, limitations, and new feature requests that influence the cloud ecosystem of products directly.

Eventually, you will act as an architect between CSP and Snowflake services. You'll build a deep understanding of Snowflake's service and use that knowledge to optimize and evolve our infrastructure reliability, availability, serviceability, and profitability. As part of that you will contribute to building components of Virtual CSP (vCSP) layer, a cloud-agnostic approach to feature development within Snowflake. vCSP will help ease feature development to meet customers where they are-or want to be-faster than we do today.

You'll work with some of the brightest engineers on the planet. To be successful, you'll need to be technical and capable of holding your own with other strong peers. You possess excellent communication, collaboration, and diplomacy skills. You have software development fundamentals, systems knowledge, and troubleshooting abilities. Ideally, you're an expert on at least one major cloud provider and have experience practicing infrastructure-as-code.
