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. ABOUT THE TEAM The Apps & Experiences (AppEx) organization powers the unified web user experience (Snowsight) for Snowflake. Every major Snowflake customer interacts with our platform through these surfaces, making AppEx central to both customer satisfaction and revenue growth. Within Appex, our team sits at the intersection of AI, platform, and user experience. We are on a mission to create an AI‑first, scalable, maintainable, and extensible UI platform from which all Snowflake user experiences can be built. The team owns: - The serving layer that powers Snowsight, Snowflake CoWork, and UX features - Developer tooling that enable our engineers to move fast and deliver - Frontend infrastructure and shared services for product teams - CI pipelines that ensure fast and reliable builds - Testing and validation platform that maintains code and product quality - The monitoring and logging stack that ensures observability and trust WHAT YOU WILL DO Snowsight is a large, complex single-page application serving interactive analytics, data engineering, and AI workloads. As our user base and feature surface grow, we must treat performance as a first-class citizen. You will own the strategy, build the tooling, and drive the culture needed to keep Snowsight fast, and you'll partner across our platform and product teams to make performance a default rather than an afterthought. This is a high-leverage role: the systems and practices you build will affect every page load, interaction, and data-rendering path in Snowsight. You will: - Define and drive the web performance strategy for Snowsight, setting goals grounded in real user metrics (Core Web Vitals, custom interaction metrics, time-to-visually-complete for data-heavy views). - Build and maintain
