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.
Snowflake is the Data Cloud, a global network where thousands of organizations mobilize data with near-unlimited scale, concurrency, and performance.
Inside Snowflake, the Developer Platform team is on a mission to win the hearts and minds of developers by making it seamless and intuitive to build with data. Our vision is to empower data engineers and app developers by delivering an exceptional, developer-first experience built on a foundation of simplicity, familiarity, and ease of use.
We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to take autonomous ownership of a core portfolio within the Developer Platform. You will manage the foundational interfaces and connectivity tools that developers rely on to interact with Snowflake. Unlike a typical feature-focused role, this position requires you to own a broader portfolio of products that determine how external applications connect to, automate, and build upon the Data Cloud.
Working closely with engineering leadership, you will define the strategy for our programmatic surface area. Your goal is to ensure that as Snowflake’s capabilities grow, our developer ecosystem scales with it, prioritizing reliability, modern standards, and a friction-free developer lifecycle.
As a Senior Product Manager on the Developer Platform, You Will:
- Manage a Strategic Portfolio: Oversee the strategy and execution for a diverse set of developer-facing capabilities, ranging from programmatic interfaces (APIs/SDKs) to ecosystem integrations.
- Define the "Contract" with Developers: Own the standards and quality of how external tools interact with Snowflake, ensuring a consistent and reliable experience across our entire surface area.
- Scale the Ecosystem: Partner with external technology partners and open-source communities to ensure their tools integrate seamlessly with Snowflake, driving consumption and developer satisfaction.
- Drive Technical Strategy: Collaborate with engineering to make high-stakes decisions about architecture, protocol standards, and long-term lifecycle management (e.g., versioning, deprecation, and security).
- Remove Ambiguity: Take broad, complex problem spaces, such as "improving the automation lifecycle" or "modernizing connectivity", and decompose them into actionable, multi-quarter roadmaps.
- Analyze & Optimize: Use data to measure the health of your portfolio, tracking metrics like API latency, error rates, and adoption trends to prioritize your backlog effectively.
Our Ideal Product Manager Will Have:
- 5+ years of Product Management experience, with a proven track record of shipping developer-facing tools, APIs, or technical infrastructure products.
- Experience Managing Portfolios: A track record of handling multiple competing priorities or products simultaneously, rather than just a single feature set.
- Technical Proficiency: Comfort discussing technical concepts such as API design (REST/SQL), Infrastructure-as-Code patterns, and the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
- Ecosystem Understanding: You understand that a platform’s success depends on how well it integrates with the broader toolchain (e.g., BI tools, Orchestrators, CI/CD systems).
- Strong Execution: You can navigate dependencies across a large organization, unblocking your team and ensuring consistent delivery without constant oversight.
- Customer Empathy: A passion for reducing friction and building tools that developers genuinely love to use.
- Communication Skills: Clear and consistent communication skills, with the ability to keep stakeholders updated, influence engineering decisions, and present roadmap clarity to leadership.
Bonus Points For:
- A technical degree (CS or Engineering) or equivalent software engineering experience.
- Hands-on experience with Python, SQL, or Terraform.
Why Join our Developer Platform Team at Snowflake:
- Strategic Scope: You will own a portfolio that underpins the entire Snowflake ecosystem. Your work directly impacts how millions of queries and pipelines are executed daily.
- Autonomy: This is a role for a self-starter. You will have the space to define the vision for your area and the support to execute it.
- Impact: You will solve fundamental challenges for our most sophisticated customers, helping them treat Snowflake as a core part of their modern data stack.
Snowflake is growing fast, and we’re scaling our team to help enable and accelerate our growth. We are looking for people who share our values, challenge ordinary thinking, and push the pace of innovation while building a future for themselves and Snowflake.
