Staff Software Engineer - Workspaces

Come join us in this super high impact role as we build the future of Snowflake!

Snowsight is the perfect place for data professionals to do their best work, and in this role you'll be making it even better. You'll join a wildly talented, multi-disciplinary team to not only reimagine existing Snowsight experiences, but also to extend it to exciting new surfaces and unlock high value business opportunities.

Acting as a startup within Snowflake, together we'll iterate quickly, ship daily, and experiment continuously. This is a phenomenal opportunity to revolutionize how people across the world turn data into knowledge, and knowledge into opportunities. As a senior technical leader on this team, you'll have exceptional impact, both shaping and shipping amazing experiences - and helping the engineers around you do the very best work of their careers.

- Act as a technical leader and deep domain expert across the stack, owning an area of the product end-to-end with an eye toward service health, quality, and customer experience.

- Lead large, cross-team projects from architecture through delivery - identifying opportunities, making the right trade-offs in the context of overall company goals, and driving them to completion.

- Leverage agentic AI to accelerate your work (and the team's) across the tech stack, including (but not limited to) Go, React, and Java - and set the bar for how the team builds with AI.

- Partner deeply across disciplines, including design and product management, to find the sweet spot that helps us build the right thing, the right way, at the right cost.

- Anticipate customer needs and future demands, translate them into our plans, and identify systemic issues that affect reliability and customer experience - working across teams to deliver enduring solutions.

- Develop expertise in others: mentor engineers, raise the bar through code and design reviews, and act as a gatekeeper of standards, consistency, quality, and design while being perceived as a value-adder, not a blocker.

- Strongly contribute to our product vision and drive multi-quarter team planning.

- 10+ years of hands-on software development experience, including significant full stack software development leveraging responsive design. Bonus points if you've shipped mobile experiences leveraging AI.

- Demonstrated track record of leading large or very complex projects that span multiple teams, with a clear pattern of driving them to successful outcomes.

- Deep understanding of modern web application architecture, good API design patterns, security, performance, and scale - and the ability to make principled trade-offs across them.

- Expertise in at least one significant area of a complex product, with broad enough technical range to contribute meaningfully outside your primary area when needed.

- Strong, demonstrated technical leadership: comfort with ambiguity, using data and analysis to drive decisions and build consensus, and proactively identifying and solving problems with limited oversight.

- A track record of developing expertise in others - mentoring senior and junior engineers, leveling up teams, and being the kind of teammate people seek out for hard problems.

- Strong written, verbal, and technical communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering, product, and design.

- Knowledge of data development tools, data infrastructure, or ML is a plus.

- You go to work everyday striving to be the very best you can be. You're undaunted by ambiguity and are motivated to drive impact on the most important problems - not just the most technically exciting ones.
