Senior Software Engineer - Cloud Efficiency

About this role

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.

Snowflake runs large scale cloud infrastructure to deliver its own service — production and internal deployments, Kubernetes fleets, CI/CD, etc. Our cloud spend is in billions of dollars per year. The Cloud Efficiency team builds a unified, self-serve cloud efficiency platform along with AI skills and agents that makes spend observable, attributable, governable while driving insights and optimization of our cloud spend.

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable platform for resource ownership registry, usage attribution, utilization measurement, and cost modeling.

• Build AI agents, tools and automation to enhance system monitoring, alerting, and root cause analysis.

• Improve and optimize data ingestion, storage, and query efficiency for cloud utilization, cost and efficiency data at scale.

• Collaborate with teams across Snowflake to understand attribution and observability needs and implement solutions that improve operational visibility.

• Contribute to open-source and industry best practices in monitoring and distributed systems monitoring.

• Ensure high availability, reliability, and performance of team-managed platforms by participating in on-call rotations and incident management.
