Senior Software Engineer - Tech Lead

Build the future of data. Join the Snowflake team.

Snowflake is a global data platform where thousands of organizations store and process their data. With Native Apps, the Toronto Engineering Hub is helping transform Snowflake into a data app platform with an app marketplace.

The native app framework enables developers to build next-level Data, AI & ML applications, like containerized LLM models that can be used for training and inference.

The apps run natively on the Snowflake Cloud within a customer’s account. It’s a revolutionary approach to building and distributing apps.

The Native Apps Provider Platform team in Toronto is at the center of this innovation. We’re creating a platform to enable providers to easily and quickly distribute trusted monetized apps to thousands of Snowflake customers.

Our goal is to help providers support and grow their app business on Snowflake by providing meaningful insights into the health and adoption of their applications.

Ultimately, we want to create a successful app ecosystem where building on Snowflake gives providers an edge over their competition with accelerated sales cycles, and increase customer trust.

We count not only on your deep tech expertise and problem solving skills but also on your eagerness to evangelize the platform among developers.
