About Snowflake

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.

We're looking for a Director of Engineering to join our leadership team in AI Functions product portfolio, a hybrid director/principal engineer role at the forefront of AI-powered analytics. Join our Leadership team in AI Functions Product Portfolio.

Our mission is to democratize AI by surfacing powerful AI functions directly in SQL for analyzing structured and unstructured data, with minimal configuration. We handle the full AI lifecycle behind the scenes, so data analysts, engineers, and scientists can build data transformation pipelines with AI using the most sophisticated building blocks seamlessly within their existing SQL workflows.

The AI Functions product portfolio represents one of the most strategic and impactful product surfaces within Snowflake, bringing together two of the company’s core strengths: its industry-leading ability to process massive volumes of data and its growing capability to make that data AI-ready.

By embedding advanced AI and LLM-powered functions directly into SQL, this portfolio transforms Snowflake from a data platform into an intelligent data system-where structured and unstructured data can be seamlessly prepared, enriched, and analyzed using AI at scale.

This convergence enables customers to operationalize AI within their existing workflows, unlocking faster insights, more powerful applications, and a fundamentally new way to interact with data.
