Snowflake is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join the Cloud Efficiency team, which is building scalable products for governance, monitoring, and optimization of cloud spend across the organization. With Snowflake's cloud spend in the billions annually, this role is critical to improving margins and competitive advantage.
You will design, develop, and maintain scalable monitoring solutions that collate cloud costs with utilization, attribution, hardware performance, and architecture data. The team's vision is to transform cloud spend into a competitive advantage by empowering teams to continuously optimize per-unit costs. You'll work end-to-end on the problem: collecting data from multiple cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure) and internal systems, storing it efficiently, presenting actionable insights through streamlined UX, and leveraging AI/agents for cost analysis and insight discovery.
Key responsibilities include designing and building scalable monitoring solutions for cloud cost and efficiency; creating tools and automation for enhanced system monitoring, alerting, and root cause analysis; optimizing data ingestion, storage, and query efficiency at scale; collaborating across Snowflake teams to understand monitoring needs; contributing to open-source and industry best practices in distributed systems monitoring; and ensuring high availability and reliability through on-call participation and incident management.
You should have 5+ years of experience designing, building, and supporting large-scale production systems. Required skills include proficiency in Go, Python, or Java; excellent problem-solving and troubleshooting abilities in production environments; strong communication and collaboration skills; and a BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field. Experience with observability infrastructure (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus) and LLMs is a plus.
Snowflake is a rapidly growing company targeting S&P 500 inclusion, operating in a highly innovative space. The role demands engineering maturity and the ability to drive strategy and deliverables for clear company impact.
