Build the future of data. 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.
The Warehouse team is responsible for the scale, performance, health, and features around Snowflake's Virtual Warehouses. Our services span from managing hundreds of thousands of compute resources, to the scheduling of millions of jobs within warehouses, to providing capabilities for customers to make the best use of their warehouses. This is a high-impact, highly-visible product that is critical to Snowflake's core product offerings and revenue. We are looking for a highly motivated software engineer who has worked in highly available, large scale distributed systems.
