Summary Generated by Built In

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.

About the Role

The Cortex Apps team is building the future of AI for enterprise data. See our flagship product in action:Talk To Your Data: Snowflake Intelligence Demo.

Your work will directly impact how businesses understand and leverage their data. You'll own the full AI engineering lifecycle: design, prompt/tool engineering, evals, deployment, measurement, and optimization. You'll work with a small, high-powered modeling and infrastructure team.

What you will do in this role:
  • Own features end-to-end for Snowflake Cortex products. Build agentic workflows, NL-to-SQL on semantic layers, search.

  • Build enterprise-grade context engineering: function calling, tool schemas, guardrails, semantic model-aware prompting for SQL, and verification/repair

  • Design evals and hillclimb : create golden sets, create rubrics and metrics, analyze errors, run experiments to hill climb on the metrics.

  • Partner with product and infra: translate customer problems into products and experiments. Collaborate with infrastructure teams to productionize improvements.

  • Lead a team of engineers towards building great products

Requirements:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Statistics or a related field. Master’s or higher degree preferred but not a requirement.

  • 5+ years of experience shipping AI features in production.

  • Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Go

  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively in a team environment.

  • (Optional) Experience working with text2sql, data modeling, data analysis, retrieval systems, and semantic layers is a plus.
