📋 Description
- We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to take autonomous ownership of a core portfolio within the Developer Platform.
- You will manage the foundational interfaces and connectivity tools that developers rely on to interact with Snowflake.
- Unlike a typical feature-focused role, this position requires you to own a broader portfolio of products that determine how external applications connect to, automate, and build upon the Data Cloud.
- Manage a Strategic Portfolio: Oversee the strategy and execution for a diverse set of developer-facing capabilities, ranging from programmatic interfaces (APIs/SDKs) to ecosystem integrations.
- Define the "Contract" with Developers: Own the standards and quality of how external tools interact with Snowflake, ensuring a consistent and reliable experience across our entire surface area.
- Scale the Ecosystem: Partner with external technology partners and open-source communities to ensure their tools integrate seamlessly with Snowflake, driving consumption and developer satisfaction.
- Drive Technical Strategy: Collaborate with engineering to make high-stakes decisions about architecture, protocol standards, and long-term lifecycle management (e.g., versioning, deprecation, and security).
- Remove Ambiguity: Take broad, complex problem spaces, such as "improving the automation lifecycle" or "modernizing connectivity", and decompose them into actionable, multi-quarter roadmaps.
- Analyze & Optimize: Use data to measure the health of your portfolio, tracking metrics like API latency, error rates, and adoption trends to prioritize your backlog effectively.
🎯 Requirements
- 5+ years of Product Management experience, with a proven track record of shipping developer-facing tools, APIs, or technical infrastructure products.
- Experience Managing Portfolios: A track record of handling multiple competing priorities or products simultaneously, rather than just a single feature set.
- Technical Proficiency: Comfort discussing technical concepts such as API design (REST/SQL), Infrastructure-as-Code patterns, and the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
- Ecosystem Understanding: You understand that a platform’s success depends on how well it integrates with the broader toolchain (e.g., BI tools, Orchestrators, CI/CD systems).
- Strong Execution: You can navigate dependencies across a large organization, unblocking your team and ensuring consistent delivery without constant oversight.
- Customer Empathy: A passion for reducing friction and building tools that developers genuinely love to use.
- Communication Skills: Clear and consistent communication skills, with the ability to keep stakeholders updated, influence engineering decisions, and present roadmap clarity to leadership.
- A technical degree (CS or Engineering) or equivalent software engineering experience.
- Hands-on experience with Python, SQL, or Terraform.
🎁 Benefits
- Hybrid work arrangement.
- Own a strategic portfolio that underpins the Snowflake ecosystem and impacts millions of queries and pipelines executed daily.
- High autonomy to define the vision for your area and the support to execute it.
- Work on high-impact problems for sophisticated customers, helping them treat Snowflake as a core part of their modern data stack.
- U.S. applicants should visit the Snowflake Careers site for salary and benefits information.
