Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This frontend and fullstack engineering role sits in a mature SaaS platform context where administration, governance, and security are core product surfaces rather than internal tooling. The focus on data governance, quality, IAM, and account manageability reflects a category of SaaS where UX must make complex controls understandable for admins and data stewards, and where small UI decisions can have outsized impact on trust and adoption.
For a long-term SaaS career, the work maps to transferable problems that recur across cloud products: designing interfaces around permissions and policy, aligning UI behavior with backend contracts, and using telemetry to iterate based on real usage. Exposure to AI-assisted workflows in the product also builds practical experience in integrating assistive capabilities into existing experiences, a pattern increasingly common across modern SaaS suites.
This role tends to suit engineers who like product-facing work with real operational consequences, and who enjoy collaborating closely with PM, UX, and backend partners to shape end-to-end outcomes. It is a strong match for someone who values clear system boundaries, cares about accessibility and performance, and is comfortable balancing craft in React and TypeScript with pragmatic fullstack delivery.

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.
About the Team
The team owns the core Experience that customers use to manage and protect their data and accounts in Snowflake. Our charter spans:
Data Governance (data classification, tagging, policies)
Data Quality (data quality monitoring, observability, lineage)
Database Security & IAM (RBAC, access control, privileges)
Account & Organization Manageability (account configuration, monitoring, lifecycle)
We build opinionated, high-impact product experiences that let admins, data stewards, and builders understand what’s happening to their data, control who can do what, and quickly act when something looks wrong. We work end-to-end with PM, UX, and backend teams across Snowflake, and we are increasingly leveraging AI-powered workflows and assistants to make complex governance and security tasks feel simple.
About the Role
We are looking for a Software Engineer with strong frontend skills and solid full-stack experience to help build the next generation of governance and security experiences in Horizon. You will:
Partner closely with PM and UX to translate product requirements into clear product experiences and MVPs.
Implement features across the full stack (React/TypeScript, UI platforms, APIs, data models).
Embrace and apply AI (agents, copilots, recommendations, auto-configuration) to enhance user productivity and developer velocity.
What You Will Do
Contribute to core product experiences: Build and deliver features across data governance, data quality, security, IAM, and account manageability in Horizon.
Participate in technical design: Assist with the technical design for frontend projects (navigation, information architecture, performance, accessibility) and drive your tasks to completion.
Develop full-stack solutions: Collaborate with backend teams to integrate APIs and data models that unlock great UX.
Apply AI thoughtfully:
Partner with product & UX:
Maintain quality & reliability:
Follow best practices for frontend architecture, testing, performance, and accessibility.
Ensure features are operationally ready and resilient.
Collaborate and share knowledge:
Core Requirements
3+ years of professional software engineering experience, including time building production web applications.
Solid experience in modern frontend development, specifically with React and TypeScript.
Demonstrated full-stack capability:
Comfortable working with backend services, APIs, and data models.
Ability to understand system boundaries and data contracts.
Experience with product-driven engineering:
Experience contributing to the delivery of features from design through rollout.
Strong communication skills and the ability to explain technical decisions clearly.
BS/MS in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience building UIs for data governance, data lineage, security, IAM, or complex admin management.
Experience using or contributing to design systems or shared frontend infrastructure.
Hands-on experience with TypeScript, React, Java, Python or Go.
Exposure to building or integrating AI-driven product experiences.
Experience working in cloud-native environments like AWS, Azure, or GCP.
Snowflake is growing fast, and we’re scaling our team to help enable and accelerate our growth. We are looking for people who share our values, challenge ordinary thinking, and push the pace of innovation while building a future for themselves and Snowflake.
