INTRODUCTION
Snowflake is about empowering enterprises to achieve their full potential — and people too. With a culture that’s all in on impact, innovation, and collaboration, Snowflake is the sweet spot for building big, moving fast, and taking technology — and careers — to the next level. Observe by Snowflake is an AI-powered observability platform built on the Snowflake Data Cloud and engineered for scale. We ingest and store logs, metrics, traces, and events on an open, scalable data lake using open formats like Apache Iceberg, delivering deep correlation and long-term analytics at dramatically lower cost. A dynamic Knowledge Graph and chat-based AI SRE provide rich context and guided workflows so teams can move from detection to root cause and resolution significantly faster. The Infrastructure team at Observe by Snowflake is responsible for building, scaling, and operating the development and production environments that power our observability platform. We are a small, highly collaborative team with a broad scope, focused on delivering reliable infrastructure while continuously improving the systems that support our engineers and customers.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding DevOps Jobs at Snowflake Jobs
Align your credentials to Snowflake's cloud stack
Snowflake runs heavily on AWS, Azure, and GCP. Certifications in those platforms, combined with hands-on Kubernetes or Terraform experience, signal immediate fit and reduce employer hesitation around sponsoring a non-citizen for a senior infrastructure role.
Target Snowflake's infrastructure and platform teams
Snowflake's DevOps hiring concentrates in Platform Engineering and Cloud Infrastructure. Searching those team names directly, rather than just the job title, surfaces roles where sponsorship is a standard part of the hiring process, not a case-by-case exception.
Use Migrate Mate to filter for Snowflake's open DevOps roles
Browsing Snowflake's full DevOps listing is faster through Migrate Mate, which filters specifically for visa-sponsoring employers. This cuts out roles where sponsorship isn't available and focuses your applications where they're most likely to convert.
Front-load your visa status in recruiter screens
Snowflake's technical recruiters handle volume. Stating your visa type and what's required, whether an H-1B transfer, new cap-subject filing, or OPT extension, in your first conversation saves both sides from advancing through interviews before confirming sponsorship feasibility.
Understand where H-1B timing intersects the offer process
If you need a new H-1B and it's outside the April lottery window, discuss a start date contingency upfront. USCIS cap-subject petitions have an October 1 earliest start date, so Snowflake will need to plan offer timelines around that constraint.
Prepare for DOL prevailing wage scrutiny in DevOps
The DOL classifies DevOps and Site Reliability Engineer roles at varying wage levels depending on scope. Confirm the role's Level II or Level III designation before your offer stage, since the certified Labor Condition Application wage locks in your minimum salary for the petition.

Does Snowflake sponsor H-1B visas for DevOps roles?
Yes, Snowflake sponsors H-1B visas for DevOps and infrastructure engineering roles. The company files both cap-subject petitions through the annual USCIS lottery and cap-exempt transfers for candidates already holding H-1B status with another employer. If you're on OPT, Snowflake can also support the transition to H-1B status once you receive a lottery selection.
How do I apply for DevOps jobs at Snowflake?
Apply directly through Snowflake's careers portal and filter by Engineering or Infrastructure to locate DevOps-specific postings. You can also browse Snowflake's open DevOps roles on Migrate Mate, which shows only positions where visa sponsorship is confirmed, saving you from applying to roles that won't support your status.
Which visa types does Snowflake commonly use for DevOps hires?
Snowflake sponsors H-1B, TN, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, J-1, and Green Card pathways including EB-2 and EB-3. For DevOps roles, H-1B and TN are the most common active-employment options. Canadian and Mexican nationals in DevOps qualify for TN status under the USMCA, which avoids the H-1B lottery entirely and allows same-day entry.
What qualifications does Snowflake expect for sponsored DevOps roles?
Snowflake's DevOps roles typically require a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, which also satisfies the specialty occupation requirement for H-1B petitions. Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, cloud-native infrastructure on AWS or GCP, and container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes is expected at mid to senior levels.
How do I plan my timeline if I need Snowflake to sponsor an H-1B from scratch?
USCIS opens H-1B registrations in March each year, with a lottery selection in late March and petition filing starting April 1. If selected, your earliest authorized start date is October 1. Factor at least six to nine months from offer to start when planning with Snowflake's recruiting team, and confirm they're prepared to commit to that timeline before accepting.
