Full Job Description
We are hiring a Senior /Technical Program Manager for our Application Experience (AppEx) organization. AppEx is the engineering org that builds the surfaces developers and data engineers love - from Streamlit and Notebooks to Native Apps, Cortex Code, Snowpark drivers, and the developer platform that ties it all together. This TPM will drive high-visibility programs that span multiple AppEx teams and define how tens of thousands of developers experience Snowflake's capabilities every day.
AS A SENIOR / STAFF TECHNICAL PROGRAM MANAGER, YOU WILL:
  • Own and drive complex, cross-functional programs across AppEx engineering teams - spanning application surfaces, developer tooling, AI-powered experiences, and the underlying platform - from scoping through delivery
  • Partner with Engineering Managers, Product Managers, and Principal Engineers to define program roadmaps, surface dependencies, and build execution plans that hold up under real-world complexity
  • Serve as the connective tissue across AppEx sub-orgs (Applications, Notebooks, Native Apps, Drivers, AIML, Developer Platform) to keep programs aligned and unblocked
  • Establish and maintain clear reporting cadences - tracking milestones, risks, decisions, and engineering health - and proactively escalate when things need leadership attention
  • Drive cross-org alignment on shared APIs, integration points, and developer-facing feature launches that touch multiple Snowflake product surfaces
  • Identify systemic friction in how AppEx teams plan and deliver; design lightweight processes and tooling-backed workflows to improve engineering velocity and predictability
  • Represent AppEx programs to senior leadership with crisp, data-backed status and recommendations
OUR IDEAL SENIOR / STAFF TECHNICAL PROGRAM MANAGER WILL HAVE:
  • 7+ years of technical program management experience at a cloud software company, with a track record of owning complex, cross-team programs end-to-end
  • Deep familiarity with developer-facing products or platform engineering - you understand what it takes to build great developer experiences and the challenges that come with shipping at scale
  • Demonstrated ability to work directly with engineers and architects, going deep on technical design when needed while keeping program execution on track
  • Strong cross-functional leadership skills: you've driven alignment across Engineering, Product, Design, and Go-to-Market without formal authority
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity - you can define structure where none exists and make progress while not all the answers are clear yet
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; you're effective in front of engineers, executive stakeholders, and everyone in between
  • Experience with modern cloud-native software development lifecycle, including CI/CD, release management, and API-first development
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience
BONUS POINTS FOR THE FOLLOWING:
  • Hands-on experience with Snowflake, data platforms, or developer tooling products (Streamlit, Notebooks, Native Apps, Spark, etc.)
  • Prior exposure to AI/ML product development programs or agentic application delivery
  • Experience driving developer ecosystem programs - SDKs, drivers, or developer relations-adjacent work
  • Familiarity with program management tooling (Linear, Jira, Shortcut) and data-driven program health dashboards
  • Prior experience in a high-growth, post-IPO technology company environment
WHY JOIN THE APPEX TEAM AT SNOWFLAKE?

AppEx is one of the most cross-cutting and high-visibility engineering organizations at Snowflake. The team owns the developer-facing surface area - the products developers open every morning to build, analyze, and deploy. From Streamlit's growth as a first-class app framework, to Notebooks as a unified analytics environment, to Native Apps enabling Snowflake's application ecosystem, to Cortex Code bringing AI-native development to the data cloud - AppEx ships the surfaces that define how the world experiences Snowflake.

As the first TPM embedded in AppEx, you'll have a greenfield opportunity to shape what great program management looks like in this org - building the foundations, tools, and operating rhythms that will scale with the team. This isn't a seat at the table; it's an invitation to build the table.

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.
