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.

Observe by Snowflake is an AI-powered observability platform built on the Snowflake AI Data Cloud and engineered for scale. We

ingest and store logs, metrics, traces, and events on an open, scalable data lakehouse, using open formats like Apache Iceberg, at

dramatically lower cost. A dynamic Context Graph and chat-based AI SRE provide rich context and automated workflows so teams can

move from detection to root cause of production issue and resolution 10x faster.

Leading engineering teams at companies like Capital One, Topgolf, and Dialpad rely on Observe to troubleshoot hundreds of

terabytes of telemetry daily while maintaining reliability at enterprise scale. As part of Snowflake, Observe combines

startup-style ownership and velocity with the global reach, operational excellence, and ecosystem of one of the world’s leading

data platforms.

THE TEAM

On the AI Backend team at Observe by Snowflake you'll be at the forefront of how AI is reshaping the way engineering teams

operate; building the platform that powers intelligent, automated workflows across observability and beyond. Our team is small,

and moves fast, with real ownership over hard problems that span agentic APIs, real-time pipelines, and AI quality. You'll work

alongside talented engineers across ML, product, and backend, with the reach and resources of Snowflake behind you. If you want to

make a direct impact on a product that engineering teams rely on every day, we'd love to hear from you.

IN THIS ROLE YOU WILL

Design and build backend systems that power Observe's AI product layer from context resolution APIs to real-time alert-to-agent

pipelines

Own services end-to-end across design, implementation, and production reliability

Bring strong product intuition to technical decisions; understanding how your work connects to user and agent outcomes, and

contribute to shaping what gets built

Collaborate closely with product managers and AI/ML engineers to ship high-quality, well-designed systems in a fast-moving

environment

QUALIFICATIONS

7+ years of backend engineering experience with a track record of shipping production systems at scale

Strong computer science fundamentals and backend engineering depth across APIs, data infrastructure, and distributed systems

Fluency in Go, with the ability to work across TypeScript and Python

Familiarity with evals or LLM quality measurement and the ability to apply them as part of your day-to-day engineering workflow

Strong product sense; you understand how backend decisions connect to user outcomes and can engage meaningfully on product

direction

Every Snowflake employee is expected to follow the company’s confidentiality and security standards for handling sensitive data.

Snowflake employees must abide by the company’s data security plan as an essential part of their duties. It is every employee’s

duty to keep customer information secure and confidential.

Snowflake is growing fast, and we’re scaling our team to help enable and accelerate our growth. We are looking for people who
