Senior Technical Architect, Data Engineering

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.

Enterprises are modernising data platforms and processes at a growing rate to meet the demands of their customers. A majority of this journey requires not just technical expertise but also the ability to drive predictability, and manage complexity. Snowflake’s Professional Services Organisation offers our customers a market-leading set of technical capabilities as well as best practices for modernisation based on experienced leadership. Our portfolio of modernisation solutions spans data migrations, validation, application development, data sharing, lakehouse implementations, data science, and AI.

As a Solutions Architect in our team, you will be responsible for delivering exceptional outcomes for our teams and customers during our modernisation projects, with a focus on modern data architectures including lakehouses and streaming data. You will engage with customers to migrate from legacy data platforms, including those based on Cloudera, and build modern data pipelines and lakehouse solutions on Snowflake where customers can then leverage downstream AI and Machine Learning solutions. You will act as the technical lead and expert for our customers throughout this process, guiding customers through decision paths to achieve impactful outcomes and thoughtfully use AI to augment their business

In addition to customer engagements, you will work with our internal team to provide requirements for our Snowconvert utility, based on project experiences. This ensures that our tooling is continuously improved based on our implementation experience. This role will report to the Director of specialised Workload Solutions team within the PS&T organization at Snowflake.
