Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Snowflake’s focus on a streaming platform sits squarely in a core SaaS infrastructure category: the services that make real-time data usable across analytics, operational systems, and AI-driven applications. As more SaaS products shift from batch reporting to event-driven experiences, platform-level streaming becomes a foundational capability rather than a niche feature, and this role is positioned at that junction.
For a SaaS product leader, owning streaming capabilities builds durable experience in how multi-tenant platforms evolve: defining interfaces other teams build on, balancing reliability with iteration, and translating complex customer workflows into shippable platform primitives. The work naturally strengthens skills in roadmap construction under technical constraints, cross-functional alignment across platform and go-to-market partners, and customer discovery for highly technical users—competencies that travel well across data, developer, and infrastructure SaaS.
This role tends to suit senior PMs who enjoy deep engineering partnership and are comfortable reasoning about distributed systems trade-offs without losing sight of product outcomes. It also fits professionals who prefer ambiguous problem spaces where success depends on prioritization discipline, crisp communication, and sustained engagement with users operating at scale.

Job Description
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.
Snowflake is building the platform that teams rely on to make data useful, reliable, and ready for the age of AI. As customers shift from batch analytics to real-time systems and intelligent applications, streaming is becoming core to how data is produced, consumed, and acted upon.
We are seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead Snowflake’s Streaming Platform. This role is at the center of the real-time data shift, defining how data in motion becomes data that teams can trust, analyze, and use to power AI-driven workflows. Streaming is the backbone for modern applications, operational analytics, and Agent to Agent pipelines.
If you are passionate about distributed systems, care about craft, and want to work on problems that matter at massive scale, this is a rare opportunity to build something foundational.
What You Will Do
Product Vision: Own the product direction, strategy, and roadmap for Snowflake’s streaming capabilities.
Execution: Translate complex customer problems into clear product bets and successfully shipped features.
Engineering Partnership: Collaborate closely with engineering on system design, trade-offs, and execution.
User Focus: Spend time with users to understand what is broken, what is missing, and what matters most.
Design & GTM: Partner with design to ensure advanced workflows are intuitive, and work with GTM teams to launch products that resonate with customers.
Alignment: Drive cross-functional alignment across ingestion, platform, analytics, and AI teams.
Prioritization: Make rigorous prioritization calls grounded in impact, scale, and customer value.
What We Are Looking For
7+ years of experience, with at least 4+ years in a product management position.
Experience building products in data infrastructure, distributed systems, or real-time platforms.
Strong understanding of streaming systems and event-driven architectures.
Experience working with Kafka or similar systems is a strong plus.
Ability to engage deeply with engineers and reason about architecture and design choices.
Comfort working in ambiguity and shaping direction from first principles.
Strong communication skills and a practical, customer-first mindset.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field is required.
Master’s degree is a plus.
