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.

We are hiring a talented Tech Lead Manager (TLM) to lead Snowflake’s System Under Test (SUT) team, responsible for evolving how Snowflake engineers test the Snowflake product locally and at scale in CI. The SUT empowers Snowflake engineers by delivering a reliable, low-latency and cost-efficient developer experience across a high-growth, high-demand surface area.

As the TLM for SUT, you will lead a small and highly technical team at the intersection of CI, developer infrastructure, and product engineering. You will set direction, drive execution, and partner broadly across Engineering Systems and product teams to deliver a more reliable, faster, and more maintainable test platform for Snowflake’s engineers.

In this role, you will:

• Lead, coach, and grow the SUT team while creating a high-energy, cohesive environment with strong planning, ownership, and career development.

• Own the roadmap and execution for SUT rollout across development environments, CI and AI workflows.

• Drive measurable improvements in startup reliability, latency, and cost, using clear SLOs, dashboards, and operational metrics to guide decisions and raise the bar on execution.

• Serve as the technical anchor for the SUT domain, shaping architecture and guiding the evolution from legacy systems to a composable, containerized platform.

• Own operational excellence for the area, including on-call health, incident response, postmortems, and balancing project delivery with ongoing maintenance and support work.

Our ideal candidate will have:

• 10+ years of hands-on software engineering experience

• 1+ years of experience leading a technical engineering team with a strong mix of people leadership, roadmap ownership, and hands-on technical judgment.

• Strong systems thinking and comfort working across distributed systems, Kubernetes-based infrastructure, and modern engineering tooling.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to align stakeholders, secure buy-in, and bring clarity to ambiguous, cross-functional work.

• A pragmatic, customer-obsessed mindset and a bias for measurable impact through reliability, performance, and ease of use.

• Bonus points for experience with developer productivity tooling, AI-assisted engineering workflows, and modern CI/test platform modernization efforts.

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.
