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.

Data Transformation is the foundational product portfolio that makes enterprise Agentic AI possible. Our mission is to transform the full enterprise data estate. We build the product that guides customers through every layer of a modern AI architecture: from Platform Foundation & Migration, through Data Ingestion & Engineering, to Semantic, Context, Ontology, & Governance layers. By unlocking each layer, we enable customers to deploy Agentic AI with full, governed access to their complete Snowflake data estate. The Data Transformation workflows are some of the most complex enterprise challenges and the most impactful for our customers and for Snowflake.

  • Deep Technical Foundation: Hands-on familiarity with modern data ecosystems—including SQL execution, ETL/ELT patterns, declarative pipelines, and workflow orchestration.

  • Applied GenAI Exposure: Practical understanding of AI-assisted capabilities, such as automated code translation, developer co-pilots, semantic validation, and LLM-driven refactoring.

  • Strategic & Analytical Execution: Ability to navigate technical ambiguity, make sound decisions using data and instincts, and reduce time-to-value for enterprise customers.

  • Executive Communication: Exceptional ability to translate complex architectural capabilities into clear, compelling narratives for customers, field leadership, and executives.
