About this role

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 customers have more than 3.9 billion queries and more than 515 million data workloads that run each day. Build the future of data. Join the Snowflake team.

The Snowflake Engineering team is a global team of high performing engineers focused on building best in class tooling, automation, and a scalable infrastructure platform to run the Snowflake service. The team’s focus areas include Snowflake's global scale multi-cloud infrastructure, core platform services, edge traffic delivery, and reliability engineering. The team also automates the deployment of the Snowflake production service across dozens of regions and major cloud providers.

We are looking for talented and passionate Software Engineers to join our Traffic & Networking team in Dublin, Ireland. These systems deal with DNS management, TLS termination, load balancing, CDNs, L4 and L7 networking, and traffic routing. Every incoming request into Snowflake flows through or relies on these systems. 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. We have been on a significant growth journey at Snowflake, with the volumes of data constantly accelerating, and as such there will be substantial opportunities to drive reliability, security, and performance improvements at the Traffic & Edge layer. Further, Snowflake’s focus on building a truly multi-cloud service drives us to create elegant abstractions to enable rapid iteration and product delivery. Interested in joining us to solve these complex platform engineering challenges?

AS A SOFTWARE ENGINEER AT SNOWFLAKE, YOU WILL:

  • Design, lead or own significant projects with an impact felt far beyond your team.

  • Contribute to the design and operation of our highly reliable, secure, scalable, and performant infrastructure

  • Develop the software to grow our fleet of services and deployments

  • Participate in our on-call rotation and ensure uptime of services

  • Use your experience and problem solving skills to help investigate and fix production issues, and drive blameless incident post-mortems to document learnings and prevent recurrences

  • Execute complex technical projects while partnering with a wide variety of teams within the company

OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE MOST OF THE FOLLOWING QUALIFICATIONS:

  • BS/MS in Computer Science/Engineering or related major, or equivalent experience.

  • 2-5 years of industry experience designing, building and supporting large scale systems in production.

  • A track record of planning, running and delivering cross team projects

  • Experience with at least one advanced programming language such as C++, Java, Go, Python

  • Hands on experience with one of more public cloud providers such as AWS/Azure/GCP

  • Experience with automating operations (e.g., software deployments, config changes) at scale

  • Hands-on experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, AWS CloudFormation, Chef, Puppet)

We value a strong growth mindset at Snowflake, so we would love to hear from you even if you don’t meet all the requirements above!

Snowflake is growing fast, and we’re scaling our team to help enable and accelerate our growth. We are looking for people who share our values, challenge ordinary thinking, and push the pace of innovation while building a future for themselves and Snowflake.
