At Snowflake, we are powering the era of the agentic enterprise. To usher in this new era, we seek AI-native thinkers across every function who are energized by the opportunity to reinvent how they work. You don’t just use tools; you possess an innate curiosity, treating AI as a high-trust collaborator that is core to how you solve problems and accelerate your impact.

We look for low-ego individuals who thrive in dynamic and fast-moving environments and move with an experimental mindset — who rapidly test emerging capabilities to discover simpler, more powerful ways to deliver results. At Snowflake, your role isn't just to execute a function, but to help redefine the future of how work gets done.

  • Identify performance and availability issues, implement effective solutions, and instrument key components as needed.
  • Collaborate with global teams to solve real-world, large-scale challenges in data infrastructure.
  • Continuously improve the reliability and performance of our Java infrastructure through proactive monitoring and automation.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR SOFTWARE ENGINEERS WHO:

  • Have experience building, supporting, and troubleshooting complex Java systems.
  • Understand Java fundamentals, including the JVM and core libraries.
  • Have solid computer science fundamentals, including data structures, algorithms, and distributed systems.
  • Are eager to learn about JVM internals and performance tuning.
  • Thrive in collaborative environments, contributing to shared team goals.

Bonus points for:

  • Experience with multi-threading, concurrency, and caching.
  • Knowledge of database or Linux internals.
