What the job involves

Services: Design, build and maintain a set of common services and features like authentication, session management, notifications, caching and many more that our front end experiences need
Developer Platform: Design, develop and maintain modules and recipes that full stack teams can leverage to develop, build and maintain their own services
Developer Environments: Provide backend environments so internal developers can iterate quickly and safely

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.
