Senior Product Manager - Workload Intelligence

San Mateo, CA

Build the future of data. Join the Snowflake team.

There is only one Data Cloud. Snowflake's founders started from scratch and designed a data platform built for the cloud that is effective, affordable, and accessible to all data users. But it didn't stop there. They engineered Snowflake to power the Data Cloud, where thousands of organizations unlock the value of their data with near-unlimited scale, concurrency, and performance. This is our vision: a world with endless insights to tackle the challenges and opportunities of today and reveal the possibilities of tomorrow.

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to join our core Cloud Data Warehouse team focusing on SQL workload optimization. This role will have a significant impact on Snowflake's core product experience and extend our industry lead in "ease-of-optimization": the ability for our customers to easily get the optimal performance, at the best price, for their workloads. The PM will be responsible for defining the vision and roadmap for Snowflake's SQL workload optimization features, and executing on it with urgency, excellent PM tradecraft, and care. Snowflake customers have high expectations for the quality of experience we deliver. To fill this role, we're looking for an experienced, collaborative, "full-stack" product leader who is comfortable diving into SQL optimization details with architects at our biggest customers, leading efforts to invent new SQL workload optimization features with our engineers and founders, working with our UX team to deliver an elegant and seamless user experience, and working across orgs to ensure a consistent Snowflake workload management experience.
