The critical nature of these services demands a very high level of reliability.

As more and more customers globally start using Snowflake in a variety of ways, the Edge will need to support more features and sustain higher throughput while remaining reliable. Withtransactional/hybrid workloads becoming more important for Snowflake, there will be substantial opportunities to drive reliability, security, and performance improvements at the Traffic & Edge layer.

• Develop software to automate deployment and maintenance tasks to ensure that a lean team can sustainably operate the team's growing fleet of services and deployments
• Participate in our on-call rotation and ensure uptime of services
• Use your deep experience and problem solving skills to help investigate and fix production issues, and drive blameless incident post-mortems to document learnings and prevent recurrences
• Plan and lead complex technical projects while partnering with a wide variety of teams within the company

• BS/MS in Computer Science/Engineering or related major, or equivalent experience.
• Experience with at least one advanced programming language such as C++, Java, Go, Python
• Hands-on experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, AWS CloudFormation, Chef, Puppet)
• Hands on experience with one of more public cloud providers such as AWS/Azure/GCP
• Experience with Traffic/Edge Engineering or Cloud Networking
• Experience with container orchestration systems such as Borg, Mesos, or Kubernetes
• Experience with automating operations (e.g., software deployments, config changes) at scale
• Experience with core SRE/Production Engineering best practices (e.g., designing for operability and scalability, adopting SLOs, eliminating toil, leading incident responses, driving blameless post-mortems)
• Evidence of engineering leadership through design ownership and reviews, mentoring, contributing to technical roadmaps, and driving process improvements
