• Partner cross-functionally with other engineering and cross-functional teams to ensure smooth integrations and end customer success.
• Represent your team in broader technical discussions, contributing to Snowflake engineering-wide initiatives and best practices.

• Experience building cost management, budgeting, billing or FinOps tooling in a cloud environment (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Experience with anomaly detection, time-series analysis, or ML-driven cost optimization products.
• Excellent communication skills: able to distill complex technical problems for executive audiences and motivate engineers around a shared vision.
• Track record of hiring, growing, and retaining strong engineering talent.
• Strong hands-on skills. Can drill deep into complex system designs and implementation.
• BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience.
