Job description

  • Snowpark is how developers run distributed Python, Java, and Scala workloads directly on the Snowflake platform โ€” securely, at scale, and without moving data. It is one of Snowflakeโ€™s most differentiated and fastest-growing products, and as workloads become agent-driven โ€” where Python is the default โ€” its growth is only accelerating

  • Having expanded from structured data into semi-structured and ETL workloads, Snowpark is now entering its most exciting phase: unstructured, multimodal, and agentic AI data processing

  • We are looking for a Principal Product Manager to own Snowpark and lead this next chapter. This is a general-manager-style role: you will own the strategy, growth, and go-to-market for a critical product line, acting as an entrepreneur with the autonomy to propose and launch multiple 0โ†’1 bets on top of an already highly successful product

  • You will be the most senior PM on the product, with a clear path to lead the Snowpark PM team as you demonstrate impact

  • Define the Mission: Own the end-to-end, multi-year strategy and roadmap for Snowpark as the standard for distributed Python, Java, and Scala processing on the data platform

  • Lead the 0โ†’1: Drive the expansion into unstructured/multimodal data processing and agentic, Python-based data engineering โ€” the greenfield bets that open new markets for Snowflake

  • Own the Platform: Own ML and AI inference workloads, Python expansion areas, batch pipelines, and the core Snowpark surface โ€” execution engine, security, and governance

  • Drive Go-To-Market: Act as a GM for the product, partnering with Sales, Sales Engineering, and Marketing to accelerate adoption and growth

  • Collaborate Across Boundaries: Partner with engineering, ecosystem, and orchestration teams (e.g., Airflow integrations) to define the end-to-end Snowpark experience

  • Be the Go-To Expert: Become the definitive voice on Snowpark โ€” internally for engineering and SEs, and externally for customers
