Where Data Does More. Join the Snowflake team.
As Senior Manager, Performance & Cost (Applied Field Engineering), you will lead a team of specialized engineers focused on solving Snowflake’s most complex customer challenges in performance, scale, and cost efficiency.

In this role, you will partner closely with Sales, Product, and Support, act as the Voice of the Field to Engineering, and set the standard for industry-grade performance engineering and cost optimization, aligned with well-architected principles across the market.
