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.
Snowflake redefined the data landscape over a decade ago by building a Data Cloud with industry-leading performance and price for
data at any scale and for multiple workloads: data engineering, data analytics, and AI/ML.
At Snowflake, our biggest opportunity is also our customers' biggest challenge: migration. For every enterprise ready to harness
the power of the AI Data Cloud, there lies a complex web of legacy systems that can take years and millions of dollars to
untangle. The Migrations team is tasked with a mission of strategic importance: to turn this multi-year roadblock into a
streamlined, intelligent, and automated experience. We believe Generative AI is the key. We are building products that don't just
move data, but understand and rewrite the logic of entire data applications.
We're seeking a visionary Engineering Manager to own this charter, and build the AI-powered engine that will onboard the next wave
of Snowflake customers. Your work will directly impact Snowflake's growth and change the way an entire industry approaches digital
transformation.
AS A MANAGER AT SNOWFLAKE YOU WILL LEAD A TEAM OF TALENTED ENGINEERS IN:
