Where Data Does More. Join the Snowflake team.
Snowflake is one of the fastest-growing enterprise software companies in history. As we scale rapidly, we're expanding our team to support and accelerate this growth. We're passionate about our people, our customers, our values, and our culture.
We're looking for a Principal Software Engineer to lead key initiatives within Snowflake's globally distributed infrastructure.
Manageability is at the heart of our Data Cloud strategy. It powers cloud administration and serves as the primary gateway into the Snowflake platform-responsible for managing core entities that govern how customers operate within the system.
As more customers adopt multi-region and multi-cloud strategies, the complexity of modeling organizational hierarchies-such as accounts, users, access policies, and metadata-grows. These constructs must work reliably and consistently across cloud providers and geographies.
As a Principal Software Engineer, you'll play a critical role in designing and delivering foundational systems that scale with our customers and their data.
Join us and help shape the future of the AI Data Cloud.
