I am excited to announce the expansion of our fifth engineering hub right here in Toronto, with ambitious hiring plans over the next several years. Our office will be located downtown, at the intersection of Bay and Adelaide.

Snowflake’s founders started from scratch and built a data platform that would harness the immense power of the cloud. But their vision didn’t stop there. They engineered Snowflake to power the Data Cloud, where thousands of organizations have seamless access to explore, share, and unlock the true value of their data. Today, our Data Cloud manages over 250 PB of data, running over 515 million data workloads a day. We have thousands of customers like DoorDash, Instacart, Airbnb, Okta and more. As one of the largest and fastest growing tech hubs in North America, and with its incredibly strong talent pool and top notch engineering schools, Toronto was the logical choice to build a world class engineering hub.

Native Application Framework in Toronto

The Toronto engineering hub will lead a number of efforts over the next few years, starting with Snowflake's Native Application (Apps) Framework. Native Apps allow Developers to write custom apps and publish them to Snowflake’s marketplace, where the platform takes care of the infrastructure in a serverless fashion. Developers will be able to create new revenue streams as thousands of our customers will be able to discover and install these apps securely within their Snowflake accounts without requiring their data to be moved around.

Building a massive product line like this requires world-class talent to solve complex engineering and product problems. Our journey to build out our engineering hub in Toronto is just beginning and as part of our growth plan, we are looking to expand our product/engineering teams.
