Technician Jobs at Snowflake with Visa Sponsorship

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.

We are hiring a Senior Manager, Technical Executive Recruiting for our People team. Our Technical Executive Recruiting team is responsible for identifying and closing Director+, Principal Engineering+, and other senior technical leadership talent that shapes Snowflake's engineering trajectory. This role exists to transform how we approach executive-level technical hiring: building proactive, market-informed strategies that position Snowflake as the destination for world-class engineering leaders, while strengthening our reputation as trusted advisors to internal stakeholders and external talent alike.

Responsibilities:

• Deliver hires that directly shape Snowflake's technical leadership bench and long-term technical strategy; includes Director+ leadership and world-class Principal & Distinguished Engineering talent
• Be a player/coach while leading a small team of executive recruiters and researchers focused on Director+ technical leadership and Principal/Distinguished Engineers across Snowflake's engineering and product management organizations
• Develop and execute proactive talent strategies that build long-term relationships with world-class technical leaders before roles are open
• Transform reactive recruitment into a market intelligence function, coaching your team to become domain experts and trusted advisors to executive hiring managers
• Partner directly with VPs and SVPs of Engineering & Product Management to define leadership talent needs, calibrate profiles and influence hiring decisions
• Build and refine AI-augmented recruiting workflows, leveraging Snowflake's AI tools (Cortex AI, agentic automation) to accelerate sourcing, candidate intelligence, and pipeline management
• Set quality and velocity standards for executive searches, using data to identify bottlenecks and continuously improve outcomes
• Cultivate a culture of experimentation on your team, encouraging the adoption of new technologies and approaches to executive talent engagement
• Represent Snowflake's employer brand at the executive level, creating compelling narratives that resonate with senior technical leaders considering their next move

QUALIFICATIONS

• 10+ years of recruiting experience, with significant depth in technical executive search (Director+, VP, Distinguished/Principal Engineering/Product hires)
• 3+ years leading or managing a recruiting team with a track record of developing high-performing recruiters and researchers
• Deep fluency in the technical leadership talent market: who the key players are, what motivates them, and how competitive dynamics shift across AI/ML, infrastructure, data, and platform engineering
• Demonstrated ability to build proactive sourcing strategies that generate pipeline independent of inbound applications
• Strong executive presence and the ability to serve as a credible partner to VP/SVP hiring managers on talent strategy
• Experience using AI tools and automation to improve recruiting outcomes, with genuine curiosity about what's next
• A bias toward action, experimentation, and continuous improvement over process for its own sake
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Prior experience in executive search at a top-tier technology company or retained executive search firm
• Familiarity with Snowflake's product landscape, competitive positioning, or the data/AI infrastructure talent market
• Experience building executive recruiting functions from the ground up or through significant transformation
• Hands-on use of AI/GenAI tools in recruiting workflows (candidate research, outreach personalization, market mapping)
• Existing relationships with senior technical leaders in the data, AI, or cloud infrastructure space
