Staff Software Engineer, Snowpark Container Service

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. Staff Software Engineer - Container Platform (Menlo Park) About the Role We build the foundational container platform that runs Snowflake's production, AI/ML, and CI workloads across AWS, Azure, and GCP, including a rapidly growing AI/ML footprint. Hundreds of large Kubernetes clusters under management and growing. The work is to make that fleet reliable, automated, and invisible to the thousands of engineers building on top of it. This is a staff-level role on a senior, high-performing platform team. You'll own hard problems end to end, drive technical direction across teams, and build the automation and platform abstractions that make operating at this scale sustainable. There is significant unsolved work ahead: improving the developer experience for thousands of internal engineers and continuing to scale the platform to meet Snowflake's growth. What You'll Do Own the design and delivery of large, complex platform initiatives spanning cluster lifecycle management, multi-cloud automation, and internal developer tooling. Identify and drive cross-team technical improvements across the platform, from architecture through adoption. Make and defend architectural trade-offs grounded in reliability, scalability, and operational reality. Act as a technical anchor for the team, dev

At Snowflake, your role isn't just to execute a function, but to help redefine the future of how work gets done. The Cortex team is building the future of AI for enterprise data. This role focuses on the Search infrastructure that powers our flagship products like CoWork, Cortex Code & Cortex Agents fast, reliable, scalable and secure at the enterprise level. You will be building high-performance retrieval engines (leveraging vector search, hybrid search, and semantic indexing) that power Snowflake Cortex. This involves optimizing how billions of rows of data are indexed and retrieved in milliseconds. What you will do in this role: Architect Agentic Runtimes: Build and scale the orchestration engines that execute complex agentic workflows, ensuring low-latency tool execution and robust state management. Scale Context Engineering Infra: Design high-performance systems for RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), including vector database integration, scalable and efficient search indexing, query processing, and result ranking, semantic caching, and automated metadata extraction. Build the "Evals Engine": Develop the automated infrastructure required to run massive-scale golden set simulations, error analysis pipelines, and "hillclimbing" experiments. Productionize AI Workflows: Collaborate with the modeling team to take raw LLM capabilities and turn them into hardened, multi-tenant mi
