Build the future of data. Join the Snowflake team.

There is only one Data Cloud. Snowflake’s founders started from scratch and designed a data platform built for the cloud that is effective, affordable, and accessible to all data users. But it didn’t stop there. They engineered Snowflake to power the Data Cloud, where thousands of organizations unlock the value of their data with near-unlimited scale, concurrency, and performance. This is our vision: a world with endless insights to tackle the challenges and opportunities of today and reveal the possibilities of tomorrow.

 

Snowflake’s Cognitive Services team located in Warsaw works on the world’s most advanced AI methods related to document comprehension and image recognition. In the future the team will also expand into other unstructured content comprehension (eg. video, speech).

ICDAR, SemEval, PolEval). Applica was also recognized by Gartner with a prestigious Cool Vendor title.
