Build the future of the AI Data Cloud. Join the Snowflake team.

There is only one Data Cloud. Snowflake’s founders started from scratch and designed a data platform built for the cloud that is effective, affordable, and accessible to all data users.

This is our vision: a world with endless insights to tackle the challenges and opportunities of today and reveal the possibilities of tomorrow.

The Control Plane team is responsible for the core infrastructure necessary to deploy and maintain Snowflake on a global scale across Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. Our goal is to maintain and grow our infrastructure in an efficient, reliable, and uniform way.
