Where Data Does More. Join the Snowflake team.

There is only one Data Cloud. Snowflake’s founders started from scratch and designed a data platform built for the cloud that is effective, affordable, and accessible to all data users. But it didn’t stop there. They engineered Snowflake to power the Data Cloud, where thousands of organizations unlock the value of their data with near-unlimited scale, concurrency, and performance. This is our vision: a world with endless insights to tackle the challenges and opportunities of today and reveal the possibilities of tomorrow. 

Our Solution Engineering organization is seeking a Data Engineering Specialist to join our Applied Field Engineering team who can provide leadership in working with both technical and business executives in the design and architecture of the Snowflake Cloud Data Platform as a critical component of their enterprise data architecture and overall ecosystem.  In this role you will work directly with the sales team to understand the needs of our customers, strategize on how to navigate winning sales cycles, provide compelling value-based demonstrations, support enterprise Proof of Concepts, and ultimately close business.   You will leverage your expertise, best practices and reference architectures highlighting Snowflake’s Data Platform capabilities across data ingestion, transformation, and lakehouse workloads.  You are equally comfortable in both a business and technical context, interacting with executives and talking shop with technical audiences.

  • Immerse yourself in the ever-evolving industry, maintaining a deep understanding of competitive and complementary technologies and vendors and how to position Snowflake in relation to them

  • Collaborate with Product Management, Engineering, and Marketing to continuously improve Snowflake’s products and marketing

  • Hands on Development experience with technologies such as SQL, Python, Pandas, Spark, PySpark, Hadoop, Hive and any other Big data technologies

  • Ability to connect a customer’s specific business problems and Snowflake’s solutions

  • Ability to do deep discovery of customer’s architecture framework and connect those with Snowflake Data Architecture.

  • Must have some prior knowledge of Data Engineering tools for ingestion, transformation and curation

  • Familiarity with real-time or near real time use cases (ex. CDC) and technologies (ex. Kafka, Flink) and deep understanding of integration services and tools for building ETL and ELT data pipelines and its orchestration technologies such as Matillion, Fivetran, Airflow, Informatica, etc..

  • Strong architectural expertise in data engineering to confidently present and demo to business executives and technical audiences, and effectively handle any impromptu questions
