Infrastructure Engineer, Observe by Snowflake
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.
Observe by Snowflake is an AI-powered observability platform built on the Snowflake Data Cloud and engineered for scale. We ingest and store logs, metrics, traces, and events on an open, scalable data lake using open formats like Apache Iceberg, delivering deep correlation and long-term analytics at dramatically lower cost. A dynamic Knowledge Graph and chat-based AI SRE provide rich context and guided workflows so teams can move from detection to root cause and resolution significantly faster.
The Infrastructure team at Observe by Snowflake is responsible for building, scaling, and operating the development and production environments that power our observability platform. We are a small, highly collaborative team with a broad scope, focused on delivering reliable infrastructure while continuously improving the systems that support our engineers and customers.
