DATA PLATFORM
Consider us the movers and shakers of data. The Data Platform team does all when it comes to moving data in and out of Snowflake, ensuring it can be ingested, stored, transformed, integrated, and is always efficiently queryable. We push the limits of speed, scalable infrastructure, and help users uncover new insights, equipping customers not just with more data, but better data. 

MEET THE TEAMS


Check out the teams behind the scenes in San Mateo, Bellevue, and Berlin.
Metadata and Replication
 Data is always on the move, and we’re here to make the trip quick, easy, and seamless — no matter the scale. We build the metadata and movement systems to ensure our platform can query across large amounts of data, taking it to new heights, clouds, and regions.
Data Pipelines We specialize in the “before and after” of data. We work behind the scenes building the distributed systems and pipeline infrastructure to help users process and manage their data at scale through every stage, from ingestion to transformation and beyond, ensuring it reaches its full potential — and value.
Telemetry
 With great data comes the potential for even greater insights. Enter: telemetry, where we harness its power to create data analysis tools and enhance performance, empowering users to unlock meaningful takeaways across our platform.
Storage Platform and Data Lake
 Storage should be more than secure — it should be smart, too. We’re the innovators diving headfirst into data lake solutions and taking analytic storage to the next level,  integrating open data formats to support multi-cloud environments and boost our capabilities in data lakehouse architectures.

GET TO KNOW US
Highly analytical, naturally curious, and always ambitious, we’re a big team with an even bigger impact. As a group of international engineering experts responsible for the very foundation and data ecosystems within Snowflake, we empower users to turn data into stories, insights, and “aha!” moments. Globally-minded and collaborative, we're always trying to up our game, letting our passion for building systems and infrastructures fuel us, our platform, and the data revolution.
"Working on the Snowflake metadata team has been an incredible experience. The team culture is supportive and innovative, and I’ve had countless opportunities to grow my skills, take on new challenges, and work alongside brilliant and passionate colleagues. We also have projects related to improving query performance and solving scalability problems, which keeps things exciting!"

“Snowflake provides a rare combination of freedom to innovate and market impact. Usually, you have to pick between one or the other (startup vs big tech), but Snowflake is a medium-sized company tackling a huge problem space. As someone who has always gravitated toward infrastructure, I love having the opportunity to develop cutting edge systems and see them have meaningful impact on the world.”
