What the job involves

This position will work directly with our engineering team to build a centralized API Platform for Snowflake product teams to develop and publish first-class APIs with standardization and governance
Build a family of first-class APIs that provide a language-agnostic non-SQL interface for all Snowflake resources
Build a family of thin client language SDKs and libraries for management operations of Snowflake resources across workloads
Build a high performance, scalable and secure distributed server runtime that connects the REST APIs with the Snowflake data cloud

Our take

Developed as a fresh alternative to the archaic systems of data governance and information silos, Snowflake is a frictionless cloud data platform that removes the barriers preventing organizations of all sizes from unleashing the true value of their data.

The company equips organizations with a single, integrated platform that offers the only data warehouse built for the cloud; instant, secure and governed access to their entire network of data; and a core architecture to enable many types of data workloads, including a single platform for developing modern data applications.

Major competitors include Azure, SQL and AWS, and Snowflake has managed to keep ahead of the competition, cementing itself as a global force. Across its 1300+ partners, the company's cloud manages over 250PB of data (with more than 515 million data workloads running every day). Its continued focus on product R&D and partnership expansion have Snowflake well-positioned to manage itself amidst the competition.
