Build the future of data. Join the Snowflake team.

We're at the forefront of the data revolution, committed to building the world's greatest data and applications platform. Our 'get it done' culture allows everyone at Snowflake to have an equal opportunity to innovate on new ideas, create work with a lasting impact, and excel in a culture of collaboration.

Snowflake brings unprecedented flexibility and scalability to data processing, which has grown to global scale. The global platform organization is responsible for the infrastructure for Snowflake's global control center both for Snowflake as well as Snowflake's customers.

Underpinning the global platform is Snowhouse, which is our globally distributed data platform. Snowhouse manages the vast array of petabyte scale data sets that are continuously ingested, processed and replicated from across all snowflake environments and various external data sources. Snowhouse powers all of Snowflake's core business, engineering and data science needs, and provides customers with full visibility into their account activities, usage, resource consumption from all their global environments.

Our manageability infrastructure completes the global platform by enabling organizations to manage their global cross cloud Snowflake footprint which consists of up to 1000s of Snowflake accounts, in an intuitive, easy and scalable way. At the same time it leverages global Snowhouse data to provide global workload and usage insights across all the accounts of a single organization.

We are looking for an experienced Principal Software Engineer to partner with engineering leadership and drive vision and strategy for the global platform with the goal of supporting Snowflake's growth and transformation into the data and applications cloud.

  • Ensure operational readiness of the services we provide by defining and maintaining service levels that exceed our customers' expectations.
  • Influence the industry by creating competitive advantages for our customers through their use of features and services that rely on our global platform infrastructure
OUR IDEAL PRINCIPAL SOFTWARE ENGINEER - GLOBAL PLATFORM WILL HAVE:
  • 15+ years industry experience designing, building and supporting distributed systems and large-scale data processing systems in production with a proven track record.
  • Extremely strong fundamental computer science skills.
  • Deep multi-faceted appreciation in building end-to-end customer facing products.
