We’re at the forefront of the data revolution, committed to building the world’s greatest data and applications platform. Our ‘get it done’ culture allows everyone at Snowflake to have an equal opportunity to innovate on new ideas, create work with a lasting impact, and excel in a culture of collaboration.
Telemetry is the core of many data platforms, because it serves as the foundation for observability, monitoring, and real time metrics. Working with Telemetry data can be challenging - data volumes can be inconsistent, it may require low-latency processing, and data may take many different shapes and sizes. The Snowflake Telemetry team is building a robust and real-time platform that uses Snowflake advancements to make working with telemetry data as easy as any other data. Our mission is simple - we want the best toolbox of simple yet powerful technologies for processing telemetry data from any source - inside or outside of Snowflake.
We are hiring an experienced Principal Product Manager to design, develop, and further extend our vision for telemetry, especially when it comes to making Snowflake the central hub for all telemetry data. This is a large, business critical, and ambiguous role, with high visibility. In the right hands, we believe this has the potential to substantially shape the future of our business. It’s a particularly unique entrepreneurial role in an exciting, new part of our business.
We’re looking for candidates with strong technical and product management skills, as well as business and strategic acumen. At Snowflake we put our customers first and want to continue building products that our users love.
