About the role

Senior Software Engineer to join the Warehouse UX pod, focusing on backend distributed systems powering Snowflake Warehouses, including features, billing, and usability. Not a front-end role; responsible for end-to-end delivery of medium-sized projects and collaboration across teams.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, test, deploy, and operate backend software and distributed systems that power Snowflake Warehouses.
  • Own medium-sized engineering projects independently from design through delivery, and contribute to larger initiatives across the warehouse organization.
  • Build and evolve capabilities related to warehouse features, billing, and usability.
  • Improve the reliability, scalability, performance, and operational health of warehouse systems in production.
  • Work across the full software lifecycle, including technical design, implementation, testing, rollout, on-call participation, issue triage, and follow-through on production improvements.
  • Partner closely with engineers, product managers, and adjacent teams to deliver durable solutions to customer and business problems.
  • Make thoughtful tradeoffs between speed, quality, maintainability, and long-term architectural health.
  • Use strong debugging and systems thinking to resolve complex production issues and improve service behavior over time.
  • Raise the bar through design reviews, code reviews, operational rigor, and clear technical communication.
  • Apply AI-assisted workflows where they increase engineering leverage, speed, or quality without compromising judgment.

Qualifications

  • BS in Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 4 to 7 years of professional software engineering experience.
  • Strong programming, debugging, and software design skills in one or more modern languages.
  • Experience building and operating backend or distributed systems in production.
  • Ability to independently execute on medium-sized projects and deliver them to completion.
  • Ability to contribute as a strong technical partner on larger, cross-team projects.
  • Solid understanding of the software development lifecycle and engineering best practices across design, implementation, testing, deployment, and operations.
  • Experience participating in on-call, production support, or incident response for live systems.
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative, low-ego working style.
  • A customer-oriented mindset and good judgment about reliability, usability, and business impact.
