Staff Design Engineer

Open 27d

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.

Build the future of the AI Data Cloud. Join the Snowflake Stellar Design System team.

Snowflake Design is a world-class team of curious problem solvers on a mission to evolve and improve the way the world works with data. Great design is a strategic differentiator for Snowflake — but that differentiation doesn’t come automatically. We’re looking for talented, collaborative design engineers to join the team and drive the mission forward while doing career-defining work.

As a Staff Design Engineer, you are the cornerstone of delivering the ultimate user experience. You will be entrusted with the highest level of polish, creativity, and interaction design, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the most innovative areas of our product. This role offers the unique opportunity to have broad creative license, empowering you to lead and create groundbreaking systems and experiences that marry aesthetics with functionality, making data more accessible and actionable for our customers.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

  • Embed with feature teams to up-level experiences

  • Design and build exceptional experiences, ensuring the highest level of polish, creativity, and interaction to solve complex customer problems.

  • Support the design and development of Snowflake's design system, promoting quality and craft across all surfaces.

  • Build design components and foundations, in collaboration with cross-functional teams, including product managers, engineers, and other designers.

  • Employ a keen eye for detail to ensure a seamless and visually compelling experience.

  • Stay abreast of emerging design trends, technologies, and methodologies to bring fresh ideas and approaches to the team.

ABOUT YOU:

  • 10+ years of experience designing and building high-quality UIs

  • Exceptional attention to detail, with a portfolio that showcases your ability to deliver polished, creative, and highly interactive designs

  • Strong collaborative and communication skills, capable of leading projects and working effectively with cross-functional teams

  • Strong web development skills (React JS, CSS3, JS/Typescript, NodeJS)

  • Experience with structuring design systems for AI

  • Strong accessibility experience

  • Strong understanding of visual and interaction design fundamentals (including layout, typography, and color)

NICE TO HAVE:

  • Knowledge of databases and associated concepts

  • Experience with both consumer and B2B Design systems

  • Experience embedding with feature teams

Every Snowflake employee is expected to follow the company’s confidentiality and security standards for handling sensitive data.

Snowflake is growing fast, and we’re scaling our team to help enable and accelerate our growth. We are looking for people who share our values, challenge ordinary thinking, and push the pace of innovation while building a future for themselves and Snowflake.
