Snowflake is seeking a Commercial Solution Engineer for the French market to solve complex customer data challenges and drive sales success. In this role, you will partner directly with account sales teams and channel partners to understand customer needs, strategize evaluation support, and position Snowflake as the optimal solution.
You will present Snowflake's technology and vision to executives and technical teams at prospects and customers. Working hands-on throughout the sales cycle—from initial demos through proof-of-concept to design and implementation—you'll demonstrate and communicate the value of Snowflake's platform. A key responsibility is developing technical champions within accounts to drive deals and achieve technical wins.
You'll stay at the cutting edge of Snowflake technology, confidently presenting roadmap features and functionality while maintaining deep understanding of competitive and complementary technologies. Collaboration is central: you'll work closely with other sales engineers, product management, engineering, and marketing to continuously improve products and go-to-market strategies. You'll represent Snowflake at industry and customer events and work with ecosystem and implementation partners to build joint architectures and account strategies.
Required qualifications include sales engineering or solution architect experience in SaaS or relevant industry backgrounds (analytics, data science, data engineering). You must have outstanding presentation skills for both technical and executive audiences, understanding of data architecture and cloud technology, hands-on SQL experience, and the ability to solve customer-specific business problems. Strong customer-facing communication skills—written and verbal—are essential.
Preferred experience includes Python, modern data technologies (dbt, Spark, containers, DevOps tooling, orchestration, git), and data science/machine learning familiarity. Snowflake values diverse experience and encourages applications from candidates who may not check every box. The company emphasizes building lasting customer relationships, learning, feedback, and mutual success.
