INTRODUCTION
At Snowflake, we are powering the era of the agentic enterprise. 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. 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. At Snowflake, your role isn't just to execute a function, but to help redefine the future of how work gets done.
ABOUT THE JOB
METADATA: Our team owns the interoperable metadata and transaction foundation for Snowflake’s Lakehouse, building the core platforms behind Snowflake Managed and Externally Managed Iceberg tables. We enable Iceberg tables to tap into the best of Snowflake—replication, sharing, change tracking/row lineage, managed storage, and cross-cloud reliability—while bringing the best of Iceberg, including branching, tagging, and rich versioning, natively into the Snowflake platform. We work at the intersection of distributed systems, open table formats, and core Snowflake services to make open-format workloads first-class citizens in the AI Data Cloud.
DATA LAKE: Catalog Services and Integrations Platform Team
We are looking for visionary leaders to join the Catalog Services & Integrations Platform team. Our mission is to make Snowflake the most interoperable data platform on the planet. We build the foundational infrastructure that enables seamless connectivity between Snowflake and the broader data ecosystem including platforms like Google BigLake, Microsoft OneLake, and Databricks Unity Catalog. If you are passionate about distributed systems, multi-cloud architectures, and shaping the future of open data standards, this is where you can have outsized impact.
What We Do
-
Catalog Integrations Platform
We design and build a high performance, scalable integration layer that allows Snowflake to interoperate with external catalogs. Our platform enables frictionless metadata data discovery and access across the modern data stack, breaking down silos and empowering true data mobility.
-
Horizon Catalog & Managed Polaris
We power the next generation of open cataloging within Snowflake through Horizon Catalog. Our team delivers managed Polaris capabilities and implements Iceberg REST Catalog (IRC) support bringing open standards, governance, and interoperability together in a unified experience.
-
Open Ecosystem Enablement
We are at the forefront of enabling open table formats and cross-platform compatibility, ensuring Snowflake remains a central player in an increasingly interconnected data landscape.
DYNAMIC TABLES
Dynamic Tables (DT) are Snowflake’s declarative engine for building automated, incremental data pipelines in simple SQL—Snowflake handles scheduling, incremental refresh, and reliable DAG execution so customers can focus on modeling their business logic. The Dynamic Tables Orchestration team builds towards the next-generation of “Unified Pipelines” that ties DTs together with Tasks, Streams, Snowpark, and dbt. We also build AI-enabled pipeline authoring and streamlining experiences, including prompt-based tuning and data refinement, turning complex platform signals into simple, intuitive workflows for data engineers.
Every Snowflake employee is expected to follow the company’s confidentiality and security standards for handling sensitive data. Snowflake employees must abide by the company’s data security plan as an essential part of their duties. It is every employee's duty to keep customer information secure and confidential.
Snowflake is growing fast, and we’re scaling our team to help enable and accelerate our growth. We are looking for people who share our values, challenge ordinary thinking, and push the pace of innovation while building a future for themselves and Snowflake.
COMPENSATION
The following represents the expected range of compensation for this role:
- The estimated base salary range for this role is $236,000 - $339,250.
- Additionally, this role is eligible to participate in Snowflake’s bonus and equity plan.
The successful candidate’s starting salary will be determined based on permissible, non-discriminatory factors such as skills, experience, and geographic location. This role is also eligible for a competitive benefits package that includes: medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance; 401(k) retirement plan; flexible spending & health savings account; at least 12 paid holidays; paid time off; parental leave; employee assistance program; and other company benefits.

Frame your leadership credentials for cloud scale
Snowflake Engineering Managers typically own large distributed teams working on cloud-native data infrastructure. Document your experience leading engineers on platforms like AWS, Azure, or GCP and quantify team size and delivery outcomes before applying.
Target teams aligned with Snowflake's product pillars
Snowflake hires Engineering Managers across Data Cloud, AI, and platform reliability. Research active product areas in job listings and tailor your application to a specific pillar rather than applying broadly across all open roles.
Clarify your visa category before offer negotiations
H-1B transfers, TN petitions, and OPT extensions each carry different timelines and filing responsibilities. Know which category applies to you so you can have an informed conversation with Snowflake's recruiting team before compensation terms are finalized.
Time your H-1B transfer to avoid coverage gaps
If you're currently on H-1B status with another employer, Snowflake can file a cap-exempt transfer. You're authorized to begin work once USCIS receives the petition, so align your start date to confirmed receipt, not approval.
Use Migrate Mate to surface open Engineering Manager roles
Engineering Manager openings at Snowflake aren't always consistently labeled across job boards. Use Migrate Mate to filter specifically for sponsorship-eligible Engineering Manager positions at Snowflake so you're applying to roles where your visa situation is already accounted for.
Prepare for PERM's prevailing wage requirements early
Green Card sponsorship through EB-2 or EB-3 requires DOL to certify your salary meets prevailing wage for your role and location. Confirm the offered compensation for an Engineering Manager in Snowflake's operating regions aligns with DOL wage levels before you accept.

Find Engineering Manager at Snowflake JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Snowflake sponsor H-1B visas for Engineering Managers?
Yes, Snowflake sponsors H-1B visas for Engineering Manager roles. If you're already on H-1B status with another employer, Snowflake can file a cap-exempt transfer petition, and USCIS regulations allow you to start working as soon as the petition is received. If you're subject to the annual cap, timing your application around the April lottery cycle is critical.
Which visa types does Snowflake commonly sponsor for Engineering Manager roles?
Snowflake sponsors several visa categories for Engineering Managers, including H-1B, TN for Canadian and Mexican nationals, F-1 OPT and CPT for recent graduates, and J-1 for eligible exchange visitors. For longer-term pathways, Snowflake also supports EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card sponsorship, which requires a PERM labor certification filed with the DOL.
What qualifications does Snowflake expect for Engineering Manager candidates needing sponsorship?
Snowflake typically expects Engineering Manager candidates to have hands-on experience leading software engineering teams in cloud environments, with a background in distributed systems or data infrastructure. A bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field is standard, which also satisfies the specialty occupation requirement for H-1B eligibility. Demonstrated experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP strengthens your application significantly.
How do I apply for Engineering Manager jobs at Snowflake?
Apply directly through Snowflake's careers portal, and use Migrate Mate to identify which Engineering Manager openings are open to sponsored candidates before you apply. In your application, explicitly address your visa status and intended category so the recruiting team can route you to the right internal process. Following up after submission is standard practice given the volume of applications Snowflake receives.
How do I plan my timeline when pursuing Green Card sponsorship through Snowflake?
Green Card sponsorship via EB-2 or EB-3 starts with PERM labor certification, which the DOL processes over six to twelve months under normal conditions. After PERM approval, Snowflake files an I-140 petition with USCIS. Depending on your country of birth, priority date backlogs can significantly extend the total timeline, so initiating the conversation with Snowflake's immigration team early in your tenure is advisable.
