Posted 4 days agoPrincipal Product Manager - Snowpark
at Snowflake
On-site
Responsibilities
- - Collaborate Across Boundaries: Partner with engineering, ecosystem, and orchestration teams (e.g., Airflow integrations) to define the end-to-end Snowpark experience.
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.
- ABOUT THE ROLE Snowpark is how developers run distributed Python, Java, and Scala workloads directly on the Snowflake platform — securely, at scale, and without moving data.
- It is one of Snowflake's most differentiated and fastest-growing products, and as workloads become agent-driven — where Python is the default — its growth is only accelerating.
- Having expanded from structured data into semi-structured and ETL workloads, Snowpark is now entering its most exciting phase: unstructured, multimodal, and agentic AI data processing.
- This is a general-manager-style role: you will own the strategy, growth, and go-to-market for a critical product line, acting as an entrepreneur with the autonomy to propose and launch multiple 0→1 bets on top of an already highly successful product.
- YOU WILL: - Define the Mission: Own the end-to-end, multi-year strategy and roadmap for Snowpark as the standard for distributed Python, Java, and Scala processing on the data platform.
- - Lead the 0→1: Drive the expansion into unstructured/multimodal data processing and agentic, Python-based data engineering — the greenfield bets that open new markets for Snowflake.
- - Own the Platform: Own ML and AI inference workloads, Python expansion areas, batch pipelines, and the core Snowpark surface — execution engine, security, and governance.
- - Drive Go-To-Market: Act as a GM for the product, partnering with Sales, Sales Engineering, and Marketing to accelerate adoption and growth.
- - Be the Go-To Expert: Become the definitive voice on Snowpark — internally for engineering and SEs, and externally for customers.
- experience in developer platforms, data infrastructure, or cloud infrastructure. - Technical Robustness: Deep familiarity with the Python ecosystem and distributed data processing at scale.
- experience as a Python developer, data scientist, or data engineer.
- - AI-Native Fluency: Familiarity with modern AI tooling for data platforms (e.g., MCP, agentic workflows, ML inference) and how they reshape data processing.
- - Analytical Rigor: Data-driven and comfortable using metrics and AI-assisted analysis to hyper-prioritize and iterate under ambiguity.
- Experience at a cloud platform provider (serverless/data processing), an open-source Python ecosystem company (e.g., Ray/AnyScale), a streaming platform (e.g., Flink/Confluent), or a PyData-space startup. - Prior
- experience with unstructured or multimodal data processing. - GM-style ownership of a product line, including go-to-market and business outcomes. - A background of leading or mentoring other product managers.
- Snowflake is growing fast, and we’re scaling our team to help enable and accelerate our growth.
