Build the future of data. Join the Snowflake team.

Snowflake empowers thousands of organizations to unlock the value of their data with high scale, concurrency, and performance. Our vision is a world with endless insights to tackle the challenges 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 Platform. 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.

We are responsible for the core distributed systems that enable higher layers to build elastic, resilient and highly available services. Those services provide functionality which covers data consistency, feature usage tracking, internal/external observability, automatic tuning, data persistence, queues, caches, locks and more. We are looking at expanding our team to handle the next big challenges for Snowflake customers.

  • Solve real business needs at large scale by applying your software engineering and analytical problem solving skills
  • Design and implement scalable distributed systems for our query platform.
  • Analyze fault-tolerance and high availability issues, performance and scale challenges, and solve them.
  • Leading cross-functional initiatives, and collaborating with engineers, product managers and Technical Program Managers across teams
  • Understand trade-offs between consistency, durability and availability 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 SENIOR DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS ENGINEER WILL HAVE:
  • 5+ 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 is preferred.
  • Track record of identifying and implementing creative solutions.
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure - AWS, Azure or Google Cloud
  • Experience building data focused systems at cloud scale.
  • BS in Computer Science; Masters or PhD 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.
