We’re also looking for people with a growth mindset and the pragmatic insight to solve for today while building for the future. And as a Snowflake employee, you will be accountable for supporting and enabling diversity and belonging.

Snowflake started with a clear vision: make modern data warehousing effective, affordable, and accessible to all data users. Because traditional on-premises and cloud solutions struggle with this, Snowflake developed an innovative product with a new built-for-the-cloud architecture that combines the power of data warehousing, the flexibility of big data platforms, and the elasticity of the cloud at a fraction of the cost of traditional solutions.

Snowflake's Sales Operations team is actively seeking a Data Scientist/Senior Data Scientist to join our team.

• Bachelors in Computer Science, Math, Physics, or other technical field, MS/PhD a plus

• Working knowledge of at least one modeling framework (e.g. scikit-learn, TensorFlow)
• Experience with short, medium, and long-term forecasts to understand the likely growth trajectory of our company

Every Snowflake employee is expected to follow the company’s confidentiality and security standards for handling sensitive data.
