Senior Software Engineer - Warehouse UX

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.

We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join the Warehouse UX pod s team owns critical warehouse capabilities spanning features, billing, and usability across the warehouse experience. Warehouses are one of the most mission-critical parts of Snowflake’s platform and a major revenue driver for the company, making this an opportunity to work on high-impact systems at significant scale.

Despite the UX pod name, this is not a front-end role. This team builds backend distributed systems that power warehouse behavior, customer-facing warehouse capabilities, metering and billing-related functionality, and the reliability and usability of core warehouse workflows.

This role is best suited for an engineer with 4 to 7 years of experience who can independently drive medium-sized projects end to end, contribute effectively to larger cross-team efforts, and bring strong technical judgment to systems that matter deeply to customers and the business.

• Design, build, test, deploy, and operate backend software and distributed systems that power Snowflake Warehouses.

• Own medium-sized engineering projects independently from design through delivery, and contribute to larger initiatives across the warehouse organization.

• Build and evolve capabilities related to warehouse features, billing, and usability.

• Improve the reliability, scalability, performance, and operational health of warehouse systems in production.

• Work across the full software lifecycle, including technical design, implementation, testing, rollout, on-call participation, issue triage, and follow-through on production improvements.

• Partner closely with engineers, product managers, and adjacent teams to deliver durable solutions to customer and business problems.

• Make thoughtful tradeoffs between speed, quality, maintainability, and long-term architectural health.

• Use strong debugging and systems thinking to resolve complex production issues and improve service behavior over time.

• Raise the bar through design reviews, code reviews, operational rigor, and clear technical communication.

• Apply AI-assisted workflows where they increase engineering leverage, speed, or quality without compromising judgment.

• BS in Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

• 4 to 7 years of professional software engineering experience.

• Strong programming, debugging, and software design skills in one or more modern languages.

• Experience building and operating backend or distributed systems in production.

• Ability to independently execute on medium-sized projects and deliver them to completion.

• Ability to contribute as a strong technical partner on larger, cross-team projects.

• Solid understanding of the software development lifecycle and engineering best practices across design, implementation, testing, deployment, and operations.

• Experience participating in on-call, production support, or incident response for live systems.

• Strong communication skills and a…
