Software Engineer - Snowpark

Build the future of the AI Data Cloud. Join the Snowflake team.

There is only one Data Cloud. Snowflake’s founders started from scratch and designed a data platform built for the cloud that is effective, affordable, and accessible to all data users. But it didn’t stop there. They engineered Snowflake to power the Data Cloud, where thousands of organizations unlock the value of their data with near-unlimited scale, concurrency, and performance. This is our vision : a world with endless insights to tackle the challenges and opportunities of today and reveal the possibilities of tomorrow.

Snowpark unleashes the power of Snowflake for Data Engineers, Data Scientists, and Developers. Snowpark is an interface to Snowflake in different language environments, but also a platform that customers and partners build exciting applications on. And that’s not all - Snowpark is also used by various teams at Snowflake to build new products and features for customers.

In Warsaw, the Snowpark team is growing to bring Snowflake’s high-performance data platform to users in a Spark-like data engineering environment that they are already familiar with. This involves driving changes throughout client-side Python code, but also all the way down into Snowflake’s query engine.

THE OPPORTUNITIES OF THIS ROLE :

Be part of the story of development of an industry leading platform for execution of AI / ML and Data Engineering code that works seamlessly with the Snowflake’s data cloud.

Work across functions and across teams - we don’t only work on code that we own, we work with other parts of Snowflake every day

Learn about and contribute to query engine internals, code execution environments, performance debugging, building highly scalable and maintainable systems, and much more

This area of data engineering through Snowpark has significant market opportunity and customer demand, and therefore presents an ideal opportunity for high impact

Our team culture is a priority - transparency, knowledge sharing, fun events, and helping each other are all part of our work environment.

This is also a great opportunity to work with and learn from some of the most skilled engineers in the industry, and across sites : our engineers are based in Poland, Germany, and the United States.

OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE MOST OF THE FOLLOWING QUALIFICATIONS :

Passion to learn new things and grow and an enthusiasm to get things done are key to success on this team

2+ years of experience building complex distributed systems

Be a team player - help others, be respectful with each other, and do your part to make the work day fun and impactful

Experience with one of the following is required :

Working on compiler

Working on a database, data warehouse, data processing engine like Spark, or ETL application

Working on a scalable and distributed system in public or private clouds

We mainly write code in Python, C++ and Java, but expertise is not a prerequisite.

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.
