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.

Document hardware and cloud infrastructure experience clearly
Snowflake's Engineering Technician roles emphasize hands-on experience with data center hardware, networking equipment, and cloud infrastructure. Organize your resume and credentials around specific systems you've maintained or deployed, not just job titles.
Target Snowflake's infrastructure and deployment teams directly
Snowflake hires Engineering Technicians across its core infrastructure and platform reliability functions. Search their careers page filtering by engineering operations and deployment roles, which are the teams most consistently sponsoring international candidates for this function.
Confirm your visa category before the offer stage
Snowflake sponsors H-1B, TN, F-1 OPT, and CPT among others, but eligibility depends on your nationality, degree field, and role classification. Know which category applies to you before you reach the offer stage so negotiations don't stall on visa logistics.
Use Migrate Mate to filter Engineering Technician openings
Sorting through roles that actually support visa sponsorship is time-consuming. Use Migrate Mate to filter Snowflake's Engineering Technician openings by visa type and confirm sponsorship eligibility before investing in an application.
Align your credentials to specialty occupation standards early
For H-1B sponsorship, USCIS requires the role to qualify as a specialty occupation with a direct connection between your degree field and the position. For an Engineering Technician role, a degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a closely related field strengthens that connection considerably.
Plan around F-1 OPT and CPT authorization windows
If you're on F-1 status, CPT requires authorization before starting work and OPT has a 90-day unemployment limit. Align your Snowflake application timeline so an offer and start date fall within your authorized work window, giving your employer room to file an H-1B before OPT expires.

Find Engineering Technician at Snowflake JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Snowflake sponsor H-1B visas for Engineering Technicians?
Yes, Snowflake sponsors H-1B visas for Engineering Technician roles. The role must qualify as a specialty occupation under USCIS standards, which means your degree field needs to have a direct relationship to the technical requirements of the position. A background in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or systems engineering typically supports that classification.
Which visa types does Snowflake commonly sponsor for Engineering Technician roles?
Snowflake sponsors a range of visa categories for Engineering Technician positions, including H-1B, TN, F-1 OPT, F-1 CPT, J-1, and employment-based Green Card pathways such as EB-2 and EB-3. Which category applies to you depends on your citizenship, degree, and where you are in your immigration journey. TN is available to Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying engineering fields.
What qualifications does Snowflake expect for Engineering Technician positions?
Snowflake's Engineering Technician roles typically require a degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related technical discipline, combined with hands-on experience in data center operations, hardware deployment, or network infrastructure. Familiarity with cloud environments and the ability to troubleshoot physical and virtual systems are consistently prioritized across these roles.
How do I apply for Engineering Technician jobs at Snowflake?
You can browse and apply through Snowflake's careers page directly, filtering by engineering or infrastructure functions. If you need to confirm that a specific role supports your visa type before applying, Migrate Mate lists Snowflake's Engineering Technician openings with sponsorship details filtered by visa category, so you can target the right role without guessing.
How do I plan my timeline when Snowflake sponsors my H-1B for an Engineering Technician role?
H-1B petitions for cap-subject roles must be filed in April for an October 1 start date, which means your offer and documentation need to be finalized well before the USCIS registration window opens in March. If you're on OPT, confirm your expiration date early. Premium processing is available and reduces USCIS adjudication to around 15 business days if timing is tight.
