Senior Engineering Manager - Agentic Analytics

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. At the center of the data cloud is the Snowflake Database Engineering team. We are responsible for building the core query engine used to process the massive amounts of diverse data managed by our customers. A core part of the Database Engineering group is the Query Language team which is responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining core SQL features, including advanced analytics, scripting, and the developer experience. We are seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to own and drive the effort to build core database capabilities to serve agentic workloads. You'll set the technical direction, build and grow the team behind it, and shape how the core engine and the SQL language evolve to serve this new class of workload. It's a rare chance to lead a foundational bet at the exact moment the industry is racing to solve it, with the scale, customer base, and platform to make your work matter to millions of queries a day. If you want your fingerprints on how the world's data platforms adapt to the age of AI agents, this is one of the best seats in the industry.
