Software Engineer - Customer Experience Engineering
Snowflake · Menlo Park, United States · 8h ago
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.
Our customers are very happy with our technology and are quickly expanding their use cases, only limited by their own imaginations. The Customer Experience Engineering Team aims to enable customers to push these limits, and when customers run into roadblocks or issues, enable them and our internal technical resources to resolve those issues and get back to seeing success with Snowflake.
Snowflake's Customer Experience Engineering Team is expanding! We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our team at the start of their career, someone who likes building intelligent data applications that give insight into diagnostic data and technical content that is relevant to issues customers may be facing. This is an entry-level position: you will work closely with a mentor, tech lead, and your manager to get guidance and feedback as you grow into a well-rounded engineer. Our Customer Experience Software Engineers enjoy developing features into the Snowflake product that aim to greatly reduce friction points that block customers and regularly require help from Snowflake technical experts. They are excited by the challenges presented by extracting intelligence from a wide variety of data sources, including structured and unstructured data.
