At Snowflake, we are powering the era of the agentic enterprise. To usher in this new era, we seek AI-native thinkers across every function who are energized by the opportunity to reinvent how they work. You don’t just use tools; you possess an innate curiosity, treating AI as a high-trust collaborator that is core to how you solve problems and accelerate your impact. We look for low-ego individuals who thrive in dynamic and fast-moving environments and move with an experimental mindset — who rapidly test emerging capabilities to discover simpler, more powerful ways to deliver results. At Snowflake, your role isn't just to execute a function, but to help redefine the future of how work gets done. We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer for the Monitoring & Alerting team at Observe by Snowflake. Observe is an AI-powered observability platform built on the Snowflake AI Data Cloud, engineered for enterprise scale. The Monitoring & Alerting team owns one of the most mission-critical products in observability, sitting at the intersection of AI, platform engineering, and customer-facing use cases. Every decision you make directly shapes whether engineering teams detect and resolve incidents faster or get paged unexpectedly at 2 a.m. AS A SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER AT SNOWFLAKE, YOU WILL: - Drive high-impact features end-to-end: from anomaly detection and compound monitor logic to simple alerting workflows, owning scope, architecture, and delivery - Design and scale the monitoring and alerting pipeline to support high concurrency and high-throughput SQL workloads, ensuring reliability for hundreds of terabytes of telemetry processed daily - Own the full product surface of the monitoring system, iterating on backend behavior, AI agent interactions, and pipeline internals based on direct customer feedback - Build AI-native workflows for monitor creation and alert triage, bringing intelligence to every step of the detection-to-resolution lifecycle - Collaborate cross-functionally with forward deployment engineers, product managers, designers, support engineers, and sales engineers to solve real customer reliability problems - Mentor junior engineers, lead technical design decisions, and contribute to engineering excellence across the team - Work across the backend stack as needed: persistent queues, event-driven architectures, and high-concurrency SQL systems OUR IDEAL SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER WILL HAVE: - 5+ years of backend development experience, with a strong record of shipping reliable, high-scale systems (or equivalent experience) - Deep understanding of high-concurrency and high-scalability system design, including distributed workloads, persistent queues, and fault-tolerant architectures - Strong programming and debugging skills, with the ability to navigate complex systems under pressure - A product mindset: you seek to understand user motivation and use cases before diving into technical solutions - Demonstrated experience owning and delivering medium-sized projects end-to-end with minimal guidance - Experience mentoring junior engineers and leading technical design decisions - BS in Computer Science or equivalent professional experience BONUS POINTS FOR THE FOLLOWING: - Prior experience building or working on observability, monitoring, or alerting systems - Familiarity with AI/ML-driven workflows such as anomaly detection, AI-assisted tooling, or intelligent automation - Experience with large-scale data platforms including Snowflake, data lakes, or streaming systems - Hands-on experience with high-concurrency SQL workloads or query optimization - Background in event-driven architectures, distributed queues, or streaming pipelines - Prior experience in a high-growth startup or fast-paced product environment WHY JOIN OUR MONITORING & ALERTING TEAM AT SNOWFLAKE?
