Developer Experience

 

The success and effectiveness of our engineering teams is the most critical factor in helping customers succeed with Snowflake. Ensuring our internal developer tools and products enable our engineers to focus their full  attention on new services and features ensures they can improve and expand our customers' experience with Snowflake.  We’re looking for an experienced Product Manager who is passionate about developer experience and productivity.  You will have an immense impact on the company's entire engineering organization as you remove blockers and friction that slow our engineers, paving the road to innovation and product leadership.

 

In this role you will work closely with our engineering teams to identify the roadmap and priorities for accelerating our engineers' enjoyment and productivity.  You’ll be responsible for the end to end developer experience spanning onboarding,  the developer tooling and environment, testing, CI/CD, and many other systems and products that our engineers rely on.  

 

We’re looking for candidates with strong technical and product management skills that can operate at both the strategic level and execution level. At Snowflake, we put our customers first and want to continue building products that our users love.

 

AS A SNOWFLAKE PRODUCT MANAGER, YOU WILL:

  • Define and evolve the product vision for Snowflake’s Developer experience.  Help us evolve the products and services we build to help our engineers succeed.
  • Work hand in hand with our engineers, engaging in frequent conversations to understand their needs, gather feedback, and overall ensure that product direction is in tune with customer needs.
  • Manage programs and structure projects to ensure smooth execution of the product roadmap.
  • Work closely with engineering, technical program management and data scientists to own delivery and execution.

 

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE WILL:

  • Have 8+ years of relevant industry experience, with the majority of that as an Engineer and at least 2 of those as a Product Manager.
  • Experience using and improving the tools and processes used by Engineers to build the services and features our customers use. 
  • Significant experience working with Engineering and Data Science.
  • Be able to understand the breadth of our product line as well as get technical and be able to drill into details on owned areas.
  • Have proven experience defining a product vision and roadmap and managing incremental execution through successful launches.
  • Thrive in the dynamic environment that comes with being part of an innovative startup from its early days. That means flexibility as well as dealing with ambiguity.
  • Be highly data driven, knowing how to get, understand, and use data to make the best possible decisions.
  • Move quickly and constantly iterate, moving from hypotheses developed from customer conversations, data and insights to running tests to confirm those hypotheses, to learnings and iteration towards a solution that customers didn’t even realize they wanted but now can’t live without.
  • Operate and think of both the customer experience layer and deeper in the technology stack.  Know whether the limitations of the current systems and tools are reasonable or if we should rebuild to enable new capabilities.
  • Drive execution with a cross-functional team, ensuring that everyone is working towards the same goals and impact.
