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.
Snowflake redefined the data landscape over a decade ago by building the AI Data Cloud—delivering industry-leading performance and price at scale across data engineering, analytics, and AI/ML workloads. Every day, new customers begin their journey to Snowflake, but migrating existing data and applications from legacy platforms remains a complex, high-effort challenge. Customers must adapt their entire ecosystem—data, database code, ETL pipelines, and consuming applications—to fully realize Snowflake’s value. The Migrations organization serves as the catalyst for this modernization, building solutions that enable customers and partners to migrate efficiently and with less risk. Within this charter, the SnowConvert AI team delivers an AI-driven migration product that moves data-centric applications to Snowflake an order of magnitude faster than industry norms. SnowConvert goes beyond schema and SQL translation, seamlessly migrating data, code, ETL pipelines, and BI tools by combining AI-based conversion with rigorous execution-level validation, ensuring that migrated systems are not only syntactically correct, but semantically equivalent to their source and production-ready on the Snowflake AI Data Cloud
