About the role

Senior Technical Program Manager responsible for end-to-end capacity planning across Snowflake’s multi-cloud infrastructure, aligning cross-functional teams, developing forecasting models, and delivering data-driven capacity strategies.

Responsibilities

  • Own the capacity planning program end-to-end — from demand forecasting and resource modeling to procurement coordination and delivery tracking across Snowflake's multi-cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Drive cross-functional alignment between Engineering, Infrastructure, Finance, and Cloud Provider teams to ensure capacity meets projected growth, seasonal demand spikes, and new product launches
  • Build and improve forecasting models and frameworks that translate business growth signals, customer onboarding patterns, and workload trends into actionable infrastructure capacity plans
  • Establish governance and review cadences — own weekly/monthly capacity reviews with engineering leadership, surface risks and tradeoffs, and drive decisions on resource allocation and prioritization
  • Identify and mitigate capacity risks proactively — monitor utilization trends, flag bottlenecks, single points of failure, and lead constraint resolution before they become customer-impacting
  • Partner closely with engineering teams to understand workload characteristics, architecture changes, and new feature launches that affect capacity requirements
  • Drive efficiency and optimization programs — identify opportunities to reduce waste, improve utilization, and right-size infrastructure spend without compromising performance or availability
  • Develop dashboards, metrics, and reporting that give leadership real-time visibility into capacity health, spend trajectory, and delivery timelines
  • Influence infrastructure strategy by providing data-driven recommendations on cloud provider mix, reserved vs. on-demand strategy, and long-term capacity investments

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of experience in technical program management, infrastructure planning, capacity management, or a related discipline at a cloud-scale technology company
  • Demonstrated experience managing programs across multiple cloud providers (AWS, Azure, and/or GCP)
  • Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure concepts: compute, storage, networking, containerization, and resource orchestration
  • Experience with demand forecasting, resource modeling, and data-driven decision-making at scale
  • Proven ability to drive cross-functional programs spanning engineering, finance, and operations with VP/Director-level stakeholders
  • Excellent communication skills — ability to synthesize complex technical and financial data into clear executive-ready narratives
  • Strong program management fundamentals: dependency tracking, risk management, milestone governance, and stakeholder alignment
