Senior Technical Program Manager - AppEx

About the role

The Senior / Staff Technical Program Manager (TPM) for AppEx will own and drive complex, cross-functional programs across AppEx engineering teams. This includes application surfaces, developer tooling, AI-powered experiences, and the underlying platform. The TPM will 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.

Responsibilities

• 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
• 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

Requirements

• 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

Qualifications

• 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

Skills

• Strong organizational and project management skills
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Experience with Agile methodologies
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
