Technical Architect Jobs at Snowflake with Visa Sponsorship

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 is hiring a Principal Technical Enablement & Learning Architect to design and scale a modern technical learning ecosystem that supports both internal teams and customers. This role is ideal for a hands-on technical leader who enjoys building learning systems that accelerate understanding, raise technical standards, and enable consistent, high-quality outcomes—internally and externally. You’ll play a foundational role in shaping how Observe’s platform, observability best practices, and real-world operating models are taught, learned, and applied across the organization and, where appropriate, leveraged to improve customer education and self-sufficiency.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

Design Scalable Technical Learning Journeys

- Build structured, role-based learning paths for pre- and post-sales technical teams.
- Define onboarding, intermediate, and advanced learning milestones with clear outcomes.
- Establish mechanisms to assess and validate technical proficiency over time.

Build Hands-On Learning Experiences

- Design and maintain hands-on technical labs, demos, and learning environments.
- Create practical, real-world scenarios that reflect how customers deploy and use observability platforms.
- Ensure learning experiences are reliable, repeatable, and easy to consume globally.

Extend Internal Learning to Customer Education

- Identify internal enablement assets that can be adapted for customer-facing education, onboarding, and self-service learning.
- Partner with Product, Post-Sales, and Customer Education stakeholders to reuse and evolve learning content for customer consumption where appropriate.
- Help customers better understand observability concepts, best practices, and how to apply Observe effectively in real-world environments.

Enable Beyond the Product

- Develop learning content covering:
+ Observability concepts and patterns
+ Cloud platforms and distributed systems
+ Kubernetes, AWS, and modern application architectures
+ SRE, DevOps, and platform engineering practices
+ Competitive landscape and industry trends
- Ensure teams and customers understand not just how Observe works, but why it fits into modern operating models.

Partner Across the Organization

- Work closely with Sales Enablement, Product, Engineering, and Post-Sales leaders.
- Ensure new product capabilities, internal processes, and GTM changes are reflected in learning programs.
- Serve as a trusted technical authority on enablement and learning strategy.

Raise the Technical Bar at Scale

- Promote consistent technical practices and shared standards across teams.
- Enable faster ramp times, stronger technical confidence, and more effective customer engagements.
- Help internal teams and customers stay current as the observability space and cloud evolve.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

WHAT YOU BRING:
- 10+ years of hands-on technical experience in cloud, distributed systems, or observability-adjacent domains.
- Experience building technical enablement, training, or learning programs for technical audiences.
- Strong background in cloud platforms (e.g., AWS), Kubernetes, and modern application architectures.
- Proven ability to design practical, hands-on learning experiences—not just slide-based training.
- Ability to translate complex technical concepts into structured, approachable learning.
- Strong collaboration and communication skills across technical and non-technical teams.

This role directly impacts how effectively Observe’s platform and best practices are understood and applied—by both internal teams and customers. By building a shared learning foundation, you’ll help:
- Accelerate internal ramp and consistency
- Improve customer understanding and self-sufficiency
- Scale expertise without scaling headcount

You’ll have the opportunity to build something foundational and reusable, influencing how Observe teaches, learns, and operates as the company grows.
