Posted 3 weeks agoSenior Software Engineer, Accelerated Delivery
at Snowflake
Remote
Responsibilities
- - Build and evolve platform capabilities for progressive delivery, including staged rollouts, canarying, automated health checks, rollback controls, and guardrails that reduce blast radius during production change events.
- - Build internal platforms that support large-scale release orchestration, application rollouts on Kubernetes, and broader production change workflows.
- - Implement and evolve deployment methodologies such as GitOps-inspired workflows, infrastructure as code, policy-driven automation, and progressive delivery patterns appropriate for Snowflake’s environment.
- - Build systems that evaluate rollout health using metrics, logs, alerts, and operational signals to detect regressions early and trigger safe mitigation or rollback paths.
- - Develop self-service developer tooling that enables teams across Snowflake to adopt safe deployment patterns without requiring deep release expertise.
- - Build automation and guardrails that reduce operational toil and make production change workflows more consistent, scalable, and resilient.
- - Design and build AI-assisted, agentic-driven, and increasingly autonomous release workflows that improve rollout intelligence, developer productivity, and deployment safety.
Requirements
- To usher in this new era, we seek AI-native thinkers across every function who are energized by the opportunity to reinvent how they work.
- You don’t just use tools; you possess an innate curiosity, treating AI as a high-trust collaborator that is core to how you solve problems and accelerate your impact.
- Our mission is to make production deployments fast, safe, self-service, increasingly autonomous, and augmented by AI-driven intelligence and automation.
- experience building or operating continuous deployment, release engineering, or production change platforms at scale. - Have worked with Kubernetes-based systems and understand how to safely roll changes across distributed production environments. - Have strong software engineering skills in Golang, Java, C++, or similar systems languages, along with Python, Bash, or similar scripting languages. - Have
- experience with distributed systems, infrastructure automation, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud environments. - Bring a data-driven mindset and have
- experience using observability platforms such as Prometheus, Datadog, or Grafana to evaluate system and rollout health.
- - Are excited about applying AI and intelligent automation to release operations, deployment safety, and autonomous workflows.
- Snowflake is growing fast, and we’re scaling our team to help enable and accelerate our growth.

Additional details
- At Snowflake, we are powering the era of the agentic enterprise.
- We look for low-ego individuals who thrive in dynamic and fast-moving environments and move with an experimental mindset — who rapidly test emerging capabilities to discover simpler, more powerful ways to deliver results.
- Snowflake’s Release Engineering team builds and operates the systems that safely deliver infrastructure, platform, and product changes to production at global scale.
- We own the release platforms, rollout orchestration, and safety mechanisms that allow engineering teams across Snowflake to ship quickly while minimizing operational risk.
- This role sits at the intersection of developer productivity, distributed systems reliability, and large-scale multi-cloud infrastructure orchestration.
- At Snowflake, Release Engineering is a platform engineering function focused on building the systems, abstractions, and automation that make software delivery safe, scalable, and efficient across the company.
- IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL - Design and build continuous deployment and rollout infrastructure that safely ships changes across Snowflake’s large-scale, multi-cloud production environment.
- - Improve engineering velocity by removing friction from release pipelines and replacing manual workflows with durable platform abstractions and automation.
- - Partner with product and infrastructure teams to make their services easier to deploy, validate, observe, and operate through well-designed platform capabilities.
- - Care deeply about safe production rollouts, developer experience, minimizing blast radius, and building systems that make the right operational path the easiest one.
