Engineering Manager - Developer Platform

Build the future of data. Join the Snowflake team.

Snowflake is pioneering the Data Cloud, and we're looking for a talented and motivated Engineering Manager to join our Developer Platform team. Your primary focus will be to lead our engineers to build a unified experience across the Snowflake platform and tools. This includes building a number of innovative solutions designed to facilitate seamless DevOps integration across applications and data platforms and enhancing the client SDKs and server-side APIs that Snowflake's customers use to extract value from the platform.

Engineering Managers at Snowflake are expected to have a technical background and will have either prior experience in the domain they are managing, or the talent to learn the area if required. Outside of Engineering-specific decision-making, the bar is high in terms of critical thinking, communication, and sound decision-making. Managers who share a belief in the importance of these non-technical traits alongside the desire to build novel, best-in-class engineering, will excel in our environment.
