About The Position

Snowflake is about empowering enterprises to achieve their full potential — and people too. With a culture that's all in on impact, innovation, and collaboration, Snowflake is the sweet spot for building big, moving fast, and taking technology — and careers — to the next level. To support our explosive growth we have built an expansive Partner Ecosystem that includes technology vendors such as dbt, Fivetran, Sigma, and many more. These technology partners, who Snowflake refers to as Data Cloud Product partners, play a key role in extending native Snowflake functionality and also building innovative joint solutions for our customers across many use-cases like Analytics, Data Integration, Data Science, and Security & Governance. We are looking for a Principal Partner Solution Engineer who is passionate about working with our Data Cloud Product partners to help them build cutting-edge integrations and solutions for our joint customers. In this role, you will work directly with the partner management team and Data Cloud Product partners to understand the needs of our customers, strategize on product integrations, provide technical guidance, evangelize the joint solutions, and ultimately assist partners in co-selling activities. As a Snowflake Partner Solution Engineer you must share our passion for reinventing the AI Data Cloud, thrive in a dynamic environment, and have the flexibility and willingness to jump in and get things done. You are equally comfortable in both a business and technical context, interacting with executives and talking shop with technical audiences.
