Senior Software Engineer - Developer Platform, Ecosystem
SnowflakeWhere Data Does More. 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. But it didn't stop there. They engineered Snowflake to power the Data Cloud, where thousands of organizations unlock the value of their data with near-unlimited scale, concurrency, and performance. This is our vision: a world with endless insights to tackle the challenges and opportunities of today and reveal the possibilities of tomorrow.
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. We are forming a new Ecosystem Team to own, support, and strategically grow the ecosystem of partners building on top of Snowflake. This team will have a direct impact on our customers and revenue by taking ownership of critical connectors and tools that drive millions in monthly credits, such as our SQLAlchemy and Tableau integrations. You will be at the forefront of ensuring developers have a world-class experience, enabling them to integrate Snowflake into their workflows and build the next generation of data applications.
