Software Engineering Manager, Data Governance

Where Data Does More. Join the Snowflake team.

There is only one Data Cloud. Snowflake's founders started from scratch and designed a data platform built for the cloud that is effective, affordable, and accessible to all data users. But it didn't stop there. They engineered Snowflake to power the Data Cloud, where thousands of organizations unlock the value of their data with near-unlimited scale, concurrency, and performance. This is our vision: a world with endless insights to tackle the challenges and opportunities of today and reveal the possibilities of tomorrow.

The Data Governance team's vision is to build AI-enabled, frictionless, unified governance capabilities for both data and AI to inspire customer trust in Snowflake and empower them to confidently unlock the full potential of their data.

We build services, systems, and product features to help our customers detect and protect sensitive data, proactively monitor data quality and AI agents to make the lives of data stewards easier. We build features to support data classification, fine grained secure data access, data privacy guards, data quality monitoring, data lineage tracking, and access auditability.

• Demonstrated track record of shipping data governance, security or compliance offerings in the cloud.

• Strong track record of delivering large scale and resilient distributed systems and services.

Every Snowflake employee is expected to follow the company's confidentiality and security standards for handling sensitive data.
