About The Position

At Snowflake, we are powering the era of the agentic enterprise. To usher in this new era, we seek AI-native thinkers across every function who are energized by the opportunity to reinvent how they work. You don’t just use tools; you possess an innate curiosity, treating AI as a high-trust collaborator that is core to how you solve problems and accelerate your impact. We look for low-ego individuals who thrive in dynamic and fast-moving environments and move with an experimental mindset — who rapidly test emerging capabilities to discover simpler, more powerful ways to deliver results. At Snowflake, your role isn't just to execute a function, but to help redefine the future of how work gets done.
We are seeking a Director of Engineering for the Snowflake Apps organization to scale our application products, including Streamlit, Native Apps, and React platforms. This high-impact leadership role requires an architect's mindset combined with a drive to deliver results. You will own the end-to-end success of our app ecosystem and its integrations with various partners to drive growth. The role touches upon a broad range of technical challenges ranging from security, performance, agentic authoring and lifecycle management.
Snowflake is growing fast, and we are 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.
