Senior Technical Program Manager

Responsibilities

• Own and drive complex, cross-functional programs across AppEx engineering teams — spanning application surfaces, developer tooling, AI-powered experiences, and the underlying platform — from scoping through delivery.
• Partner with Engineering Managers, Product Managers, and Principal Engineers to define program roadmaps, surface dependencies, and build execution plans that hold up under real-world complexity.
• Serve as the connective tissue across AppEx sub-orgs (Applications, Notebooks, Native Apps, Drivers, AIML, Developer Platform) to keep programs aligned and unblocked.
• Establish and maintain clear reporting cadences — tracking milestones, risks, decisions, and engineering health — and proactively escalate when things need leadership attention.
• Drive cross-org alignment on shared APIs, integration points, and developer-facing feature launches that touch multiple Snowflake product surfaces.
• Identify systemic friction in how AppEx teams plan and deliver; design lightweight processes and tooling-backed workflows to improve engineering velocity and predictability.
• Represent AppEx programs to senior leadership with crisp, data-backed status and recommendations.

Requirements

• 7+ years of technical program management experience at a cloud software company, with a track record of owning complex, cross-team programs end-to-end.
• Deep familiarity with developer-facing products or platform engineering — you understand what it takes to build great developer experiences and the challenges that come with shipping at scale.
• Demonstrated ability to work directly with engineers and architects, going deep on technical design when needed while keeping program execution on track.
• Strong cross-functional leadership skills: you've driven alignment across Engineering, Product, Design, and Go-to-Market without formal authority.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity — you can define structure where none exists and make progress while not all the answers are clear yet.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; you're effective in front of engineers, executive stakeholders, and everyone in between.
• Experience with modern cloud-native software development lifecycle, including CI/CD, release management, and API-first development.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.

Nice-to-Haves

• Hands-on experience with Snowflake, data platforms, or developer tooling products (Streamlit, Notebooks, Native Apps, Spark, etc.).
• Prior exposure to AI/ML product development programs or agentic application delivery.
• Experience driving developer ecosystem programs — SDKs, drivers, or developer relations-adjacent work.
• Familiarity with program management tooling (Linear, Jira, Shortcut) and data-driven program health dashboards.
• Prior experience in a high-growth, post-IPO technology company environment.
