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.
This is a hybrid role based in our Menlo Park or Bellevue office. You will split your time between working on-site with your engineering, product, and leadership partners and working remotely, giving you dedicated in-person time for planning, alignment, and the high-stakes conversations where being in the room matters.
AS A STAFF TECHNICAL PROGRAM MANAGER AT SNOWFLAKE, YOU WILL:
-
Define and own the program strategy for AppEx's highest-impact initiatives, spanning application surfaces, developer tooling, AI-powered experiences, and the underlying platform, from initial framing through launch and adoption
-
Lead programs that cross AppEx sub-orgs (Applications, Notebooks, Native Apps, Drivers, AIML, Developer Platform) and extend into partner organizations across Snowflake, driving alignment where no single team owns the outcome
-
Partner with Directors, Engineering Managers, Product Managers, and Principal Engineers to shape multi-quarter roadmaps, make tradeoff decisions explicit, and build execution plans that hold up under real-world complexity
-
Drive cross-org decisions on shared APIs, integration points, and developer-facing launches that touch multiple Snowflake product surfaces
-
Diagnose systemic friction in how AppEx plans and delivers, and design the operating mechanisms, including AI-assisted workflows, that improve engineering velocity and predictability across the org
-
Represent AppEx programs to executive leadership with clear, data-backed narratives, recommendations, and escalations that drive decisions
-
Raise the bar for technical program management across AppEx by mentoring other TPMs and establishing practices the wider organization adopts
OUR IDEAL STAFF TECHNICAL PROGRAM MANAGER WILL HAVE:
-
8+ years of technical program management experience, ideally at a cloud software company, with a track record of owning complex, multi-team programs end to end
