Runs a cloud platform for business data and AI
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 delivers the AI Data Cloud, a global network where thousands of organizations mobilize data with near-unlimited scale, concurrency and performance. Our Warsaw engineering hub is one of Snowflake's key global R&D centers. It's home to the teams that build the developer tools and platform capabilities powering the Snowflake ecosystem.
The Developer Platform organization in Warsaw builds the tools and interfaces developers use every day to work with Snowflake. Our scope includes:
Snowflake CLI & Client SDKs: an open-source command-line interface for developer workloads, CI/CD automation and SQL operations.
Drivers: production-grade client libraries in Python, Java, Go, .NET and Node.js, used by thousands of customers worldwide.
Git Integration & Database Change Management (DCM): native DevOps workflows that bring version control and declarative change management to Snowflake.
You'll work alongside experienced engineers and technical leaders who have shipped widely adopted open-source tools and shaped Snowflake's developer experience from the ground up.

Snowflake runs a cloud platform where businesses store and analyze data, build AI tools, and share information under common access controls. Its platform separates stored data from computing resources, letting teams run different workloads without maintaining database servers. Analysts query business records with SQL, while developers use Python and other languages to build applications and train models against the same data; Cortex connects AI models to company records so teams build assistants and automate analysis. Customers pay for storage and computing usage across Amazon, Microsoft, and Google infrastructure. Snowflake was founded in 2012 and has its headquarters in Menlo Park, California.
