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.
Founded by industry experts and backed by strategic investors, our disruptive built-for-the-cloud architecture was designed to push the limitations of conventional data warehousing. Our teams breed ambition, challenge ordinary thinking, and push the pace of innovation in service of the exploding demand for accessible data.
Snowflake is growing fast and we're scaling our team to help enable and accelerate our growth. We're passionate about our people, our customers, our values, and our culture! We're also looking for people with a growth mindset and the pragmatic insight to solve for today while building for the future. And as a Snowflake employee, you will be accountable for supporting and enabling diversity and belonging.
Snowflake started with a clear vision: make modern data warehousing effective, affordable, and accessible to all data users. Because traditional on-premises and cloud solutions struggle with this, Snowflake developed an innovative product with a new built-for-the-cloud architecture that combines the power of data warehousing, the flexibility of big data platforms, and the elasticity of the cloud at a fraction of the cost of traditional solutions.
We are looking for a Principal Architect, Data Foundations to join our Data, Analytics, and AI organization. This is a senior individual contributor role with principal-level scope. You will set the technical direction for how our data and analytics engineering teams build, govern, and evolve the data platform — and you'll be a hands-on practitioner who shapes what's possible.
Important: This role an in office requirement - you must be able to work out of our Menlo Park office for a minimum of 3 days a week.

It is structured hybrid. Most roles are tied to a specific office and expect roughly three days a week on-site, and around three-quarters of open jobs are office-anchored. A minority of roles are explicitly tagged remote, but there is no company-wide remote policy, so eligibility is decided role by role.
Roles are location-specific and spread across more than 25 countries, including the US, UK, Australia, India, Germany, Poland, Canada, Japan, France, and Singapore. The heaviest concentration of jobs sits in US hubs such as Menlo Park and Bellevue, plus London. Positions are city- or country-locked rather than work-from-anywhere.
Snowflake offers a 401(k) and a Roth 401(k) option, but it does not provide an employer match. This is worth factoring into total compensation, since the package leans heavily on equity and bonus rather than retirement matching.
Compensation is geography-based and certified by Fair Pay Workplace, an external pay-equity auditor. Cash is paired with substantial equity through new-hire grants, an Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and a quarterly bonus or commission program, with RSUs vesting over four years.
Highlights include unlimited PTO, generous parental leave (26 weeks maternity, 12 weeks paternity) with adoption and fertility support, an HSA with employer contribution, on-demand mental health and wellness programs, and ergonomic work-from-home equipment provided globally.
It suits data and AI engineers, data scientists, and product people who want to work across the full data lifecycle at large scale and value equity-heavy pay. Sales roles are numerous and well-compensated, though reviewers there report more pressure and crunch than in engineering.
