Senior Engineering Manager - Connectors

Snowflake is pioneering the Data Cloud, and we're looking for a talented and motivated Engineering Manager to join our SaaS Connectors Team. Your primary focus will be to lead our engineers in crafting robust, scalable, and seamless connectors that make data ingestion into Snowflake as intuitive as possible. Your impact will reverberate through our platform and contribute to our customer’s success.

Engineering Managers at Snowflake are expected to have a technical background and will have either prior experience in the domain they are managing, or the talent to learn the area if required. Outside of Engineering-specific decision-making, the bar is high in terms of critical thinking, communication, and sound decision-making. Managers who share a belief in the importance of these non-technical traits alongside the desire to build novel, best-in-class engineering, will excel in our environment.

• Execute the strategic vision for the SaaS Connectors Team, focusing on performance, quality, and scalability.
• Oversee projects from ideation to deployment, ensuring timely delivery and quality.
• Work collaboratively with other engineering teams and cross-functional units to improve the platform and offer feedback.
• Be a mentor and coach, focused on advancing your team’s skills and career development.
• Prioritize and allocate resources wisely, navigating through both planned projects and unplanned issues.
• Lead initiatives to share knowledge across teams through demos, meetups, and working groups.
• Advocate for best practices in testing, security, and established engineering processes.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of hands-on software engineering experience, preferably in distributed systems.
• 3+ years of proven engineering management experience.
• Excellent project and time  management skills
• Proven track record of growing individuals and delivering complex projects.
• Familiarity with Java; flexibility to adapt to new languages as the platform grows.
• Experience with building ETL systems.
• Ability to translate business strategy into action.
• Adept at problem-solving and a guru at troubleshooting.
• Strong focus on quality, performance, and security.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Familiarity with AWS, Azure, or GCP.

What You'll Get

• A chance to work on complex problems affecting a broad range of customers.
• Lead a dynamic, talented team of engineers who are as passionate about solving problems as you are.
• Opportunities to grow both technically and as a people leader.
• A culture that values innovation, creativity, and individual contributions.
