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.

As a Staff Product Manager, you will take ownership of the vision for how developers connect to and interact with the Data Cloud. This is a role for a seasoned product leader who can operate across a complex portfolio—managing widely adopted, mission-critical systems while simultaneously incubating new capabilities.
You will lead the strategy for a critical pillar of our platform, encompassing our connectivity layer, programmatic interfaces, and automation tools. You will partner with senior engineering leaders to drive a multi-year roadmap, moving beyond feature execution to solve fundamental architectural and developer experience challenges at scale.

Lead Major Architectural Transformations: Drive the strategy for modernizing our core connectivity infrastructure. You will lead the transition from legacy architectures to a unified, high-performance foundation that future-proofs the platform.
Manage a Mixed-Maturity Portfolio: Develop strategies tailored to different lifecycle stages. You will drive reliability and performance for massive-scale mature products while accelerating adoption for new developer experiences.
Decompose Complexity: Take ambiguous, high-stakes engineering challenges and decompose them into clear, multi-year roadmaps that align with company-level strategy.
Force-Multiply the Team: Partner closely with and provide mentorship to Senior Product Managers within your pillar, ensuring strategic alignment and raising the bar for product execution across the group.
Drive Organizational Alignment: Navigate dependencies across Engineering, Security, and Product, anticipating risks and removing obstacles to ensure delivery of complex, cross-functional initiatives.
8+ years of Product Management experience, with a proven track record of shipping complex, developer-facing platforms, cloud services, or technical infrastructure products.
Experience with Platform Migrations: A background in leading architectural overhauls, refactoring legacy systems, or managing platform migrations is highly desirable.
Full Lifecycle Leadership: Experience managing a portfolio from 0-to-1 incubation through to scaling and maturity.
Technical Depth: The ability to be a "technically credible partner" to senior engineering leaders, capable of leading deep discussions about product architecture, technical trade-offs, and long-term vision.
Strategic Communication: Excellent skills in presenting to large audiences and influencing stakeholders across all functions and levels of the organization.
Strong Conviction: The ability to create a compelling roadmap with crisp justification, maintaining a clear point of view even when the path forward is ambiguous.
Strategic Ownership: This is an opportunity to own the strategy for mission-critical components of a major developer platform.
Broad Impact: You will oversee a portfolio that impacts nearly every Snowflake customer, managing the tools that handle billions of daily interactions.
Leadership and Growth: This role offers the chance to apply your skills to large, complex technical problems while mentoring others and shaping the culture of the team.
