Lead Forward Deployed Engineer - Migration

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.

As a Lead Migrations Forward Deployed Engineer (Migration FDE), you will lead scoping, architecture and direction as the FDE team embeds with customers to lead the modernization of their data and application ecosystem using the Snowflake AI Data Cloud. You will partner closely with clients to understand their business challenges to design, build, and implement cutting-edge data solutions on Snowflake. Your role is crucial in enabling customers to harness the full potential of their data, driving insights, and powering AI initiatives. You'll act as a trusted technical advisor, ensuring customers achieve significant business value and success with Snowflake.

WHAT YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR:

• Migration Project Execution: You will work with multiple FDE teams that each focus on a specific customer. You’ll set architecture and direction for the team as it works to design, build, and deploy robust software systems, tooling, and automation required to support customer solutions on Snowflake.

• Software Development: All Migration FDE members, leads and otherwise, contribute to our product. We build prototypes, contribute to feature development, fix problems that we find. Doing so helps drive impact on the roadmap and improves individual depth in the product itself.

• Client Collaboration and Enablement: Provide expert technical guidance, mentorship, and training to client teams on leveraging the Snowflake platform effectively, including data management, analytics, AI/ML capabilities, and reporting/BI integration.

• Platform Implementation: Design scalable data pipelines and modern data architectures on Snowflake. Ensure data quality, integrity, and efficient processing within the customer's modern data environment.
