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 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. Snowflake redefined the data landscape over a decade ago, and our biggest opportunity is also our customers' biggest challenge: migration. For every enterprise ready to harness the power of the AI Data Cloud, there lies a complex web of legacy systems that can take years and millions of dollars to untangle. We believe Generative AI is the key — we are building products that don't just move data, but understand and rewrite the logic of entire data applications. We are seeking a Manager, Frontier Engineering (Migrations) to sit at the intersection of customer delivery and product engineering. This is a unique hybrid role: you will lead a team of forward-deployed engineers who work directly with customers and partners on complex migration projects while simultaneously driving the development of AI-powered migration tools and products. Your team will be the bridge between field realities and product innovation — turning hard-won migration patterns into scalable, automated solutions. AS A MANAGER, MIGRATI
