Snowflake is seeking a Tech Lead Manager to lead the System Under Test (SUT) team, which is responsible for evolving how Snowflake engineers test the product locally and at scale in CI environments. The SUT team delivers a reliable, low-latency, and cost-efficient developer experience across a high-growth surface area.
In this role, you will lead a small, highly technical team at the intersection of CI, developer infrastructure, and product engineering. You will set direction, drive execution, and partner across Engineering Systems and product teams to deliver a more reliable, faster, and more maintainable test platform.
Key responsibilities include:
- Leading, coaching, and growing the SUT team while fostering a high-energy, cohesive environment with strong planning, ownership, and career development
- Owning the roadmap and execution for SUT rollout across development environments, CI, and AI workflows
- Driving measurable improvements in startup reliability, latency, and cost using clear SLOs, dashboards, and operational metrics
- Serving as the technical anchor for the SUT domain, shaping architecture and guiding evolution from legacy systems to a composable, containerized platform
- Owning operational excellence including on-call health, incident response, postmortems, and balancing project delivery with maintenance
Ideal candidates will have 10+ years of hands-on software engineering experience and 1+ years leading a technical engineering team. You should have strong systems thinking, comfort with distributed systems and Kubernetes-based infrastructure, and excellent communication skills. Experience with developer productivity tooling, AI-assisted engineering workflows, and CI/test platform modernization is a plus.
