What the job involves

The Snowflake Cloud Engineering team is a global team of high performing engineers focused on building best in class tooling, automation, and a scalable infrastructure platform to run the Snowflake service
The team’s focus areas include Snowflake's global scale multi-cloud infrastructure, core platform services, edge traffic delivery, and reliability engineering

Every incoming request into Snowflake flows through or relies on these systems
The critical nature of these services demands a very high level of reliability
Design, lead and own significant projects with an impact felt far beyond your team
Contribute to the design and operation of our highly reliable, secure, scalable, and performant infrastructure
Develop the software to grow our fleet of services and deployments
Participate in our on-call rotation and ensure uptime of services
Use your deep experience and problem solving skills to help investigate and fix production issues, and drive blameless incident post-mortems to document learnings and prevent recurrences

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.
