At Snowflake, we are building a high-impact team to help the world's most innovative companies unlock the power of AI. As a Senior Applied AI Engineer on our Cortex AI team, you will be a hands-on technical leader and trusted partner to our most strategic customers.
Requirements
- Lead Customer Programs: Own the full lifecycle of complex, multi-engineer AI engagements – from scoping and architecture through deployment, monitoring, and handoff.
- Own AI Quality: Define what "good" means for each engagement. Translate ambiguous customer goals into measurable quality metrics, evaluation frameworks, and golden datasets – then run systematic eval loops to hill-climb on agent quality, catch regressions before customers do, and continuously raise the bar on accuracy, faithfulness, and safety.
- Grow and Mentor Engineers: Provide day-to-day technical leadership and mentorship to a team of 2–6 Applied AI Engineers.
- Deliver with Velocity: Remain a hands-on contributor – designing, iterating, and shipping high-quality ML pipelines and agentic AI solutions alongside your team.
- Productionize AI at Scale: Own the full implementation lifecycle for AI solutions, from prototype through deployment, monitoring, and optimization in secure, large-scale production environments.
- Be a Strategic Technical Advisor: Serve as a senior technical advisor to customer data science and engineering leadership.
- Collaborate to Innovate: Work cross-functionally with Snowflake's Product and Engineering teams, bringing real-world patterns and feedback from the field to directly shape the future of Snowflake's AI platform.
- Drive Compounding Outcomes: Identify recurring deployment patterns and turn them into reusable assets – reference architectures, evaluation harnesses, and product feedback that scale Snowflake's impact across customers.
- Have the opportunity to travel: Spend at least 25% of your time onsite, working closely with Snowflake's most strategic customers.
