From Snowflake's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
At Snowflake, we are powering the era of the agentic enterprise. To usher in this new era, we seek AI-native thinkers across every function who are energized by the opportunity to reinvent how they work. You don’t just use tools; you possess an innate curiosity, treating AI as a high-trust collaborator that is core to how you solve problems and accelerate your impact.
We look for low-ego individuals who thrive in dynamic and fast-moving environments and move with an experimental mindset — who rapidly test emerging capabilities to discover simpler, more powerful ways to deliver results. At Snowflake, your role isn't just to execute a function, but to help redefine the future of how work gets done.
The Mission: Building the Data Foundations for AI
We are the Snowflake Interoperable Foundations organization - the foundational layer that powers Snowflake’s AI, Analytics and Data Engineering capabilities. We lead innovations across open table formats such as Apache Iceberg, helping customers build peta-byte scale multi-cloud data lakes on Snowflake. We deliver core Metadata capabilities that power Snowflake’s industry-leading performance, AI, governance and platform features.
We are embarking on a 0->1 redesign of our core systems across Interoperable Foundations. While we already manage exabyte-scale data supporting Snowflake’s AI capabilities, the next frontier is providing the foundational data layer that accelerates agentic innovation in an open, multi-format data world, You will be setting the technical vision across our investments in metadata platforms, Apache Iceberg and AI-ready storage.
0->1 Architectural Leadership:
Lead the ground-up redesign of our core Metadata systems, influencing the transaction frameworks that power query, DML, and AI-driven data interactions in addition to extending our lead on platform capabilities such as Zero Copy Cloning and Cross-Region / Cross-Cloud Replication.
Drive industry-leading innovation on Apache Iceberg, ensuring it serves as a first-class citizen for Analytics, Data Engineering, and high-performance AI workloads.
Build the foundational metadata capabilities - from richer metadata for AI workloads, to lifecycle management and global replication (Snowgrid)—that allow AI agents to navigate, understand, and act upon massive datasets in a secure and governed fashion.
Solve "impossible" challenges in fault-tolerance, scalability, high availability, and performance for services that must meet the demands of a rapidly growing global ecosystem.
Own the end-to-end architecture, influence the product roadmap, and identify the next innovations that will keep Snowflake at the cutting edge of the AI era.
Grow the next generation of engineers, fostering a culture of rigorous innovation and technical excellence.
