• Design, implement and improve the performance of new features and algorithms for our streaming data platform.

• Write design documents and clean, reliable, and testable code in Java or C++.

• Contribute to debugging, troubleshooting, and improving the performance of distributed systems.

• Learn about large-scale infrastructure and how to build resilient, fault-tolerant services.

• Be part of a team that's delivering impactful, customer-facing features in a cloud-native environment.

• 6+ years of industry experience in database internals; or a PhD plus a few years of industry experience in a closely related product area.

• Master's or PhD degree in Computer Science or a related field.

• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and system design. Solid knowledge of database fundamentals.

• Fluency in Java, C++ or another modern programming language.

• Curiosity and motivation to dive into large-scale systems, distributed computing, database internals and query processing.

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

• Contributing to other stream processing frameworks such as Apache Flink, Beam, or Spark Streaming.

• Building other popular distributed databases or analytic systems; or a PhD focused on database internals, query processing and query compilation.

• Backend infrastructure, especially at scale.

• Concepts like consistency models, fault tolerance, and multi-tenant system design.

Snowflake is growing fast, and we're scaling our team to help enable and accelerate our growth. We are looking for people who share our values, challenge ordinary thinking, and push the pace of innovation while building a future for themselves and Snowflake.
