Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Engineering Infrastructure role sits at a core leverage point in a mature SaaS platform: the internal CI/CD and artifact systems that determine how reliably and frequently product teams can ship. In large, multi-team SaaS environments, build and release tooling becomes a product in its own right, with uptime, performance, and usability expectations similar to customer-facing services. The focus on cloud-backed CI workloads and organization-wide workflows signals work that influences engineering outcomes at scale rather than a single application.
For a SaaS career, this is a strong pathway into platform engineering where improvements compound across hundreds or thousands of deployments. Experience here translates directly to common SaaS scaling challenges such as reproducible builds, dependency governance, cost-aware infrastructure, and reducing lead time from code to production. The mix of automation, troubleshooting, and workflow design also builds durable judgment around reliability and developer productivity, two themes that recur across SaaS companies at different stages.
The listing points to a fit for engineers who enjoy systems thinking and prefer solving cross-team problems through tooling and standards. It should suit someone comfortable partnering with product engineers, diagnosing failure modes methodically, and iterating on internal platforms with measurable outcomes. Candidates interested in DevOps, SRE-adjacent work, or long-term platform ownership will recognize the trajectory.

Job Description
At Snowflake, we are powering the era of the agentic enterprise. To usher in this new era, we seek AI-native thinkers across every function who are energized by the opportunity to reinvent how they work. You don’t just use tools; you possess an innate curiosity, treating AI as a high-trust collaborator that is core to how you solve problems and accelerate your impact. We look for low-ego individuals who thrive in dynamic and fast-moving environments and move with an experimental mindset — who rapidly test emerging capabilities to discover simpler, more powerful ways to deliver results. At Snowflake, your role isn't just to execute a function, but to help redefine the future of how work gets done.
Come join our Engineering Infrastructure team as a Software Engineer focused on the CI/CD platform that powers Snowflake's development velocity. You will build, maintain, and improve the continuous integration systems that thousands of engineers rely on every day to ship code with confidence.
AS A SOFTWARE ENGINEER, ENGINEERING INFRASTRUCTURE, YOU WILL:
Contribute to the development and maintenance of continuous integration and delivery pipelines, ensuring reliable and efficient build, test, and release workflows across the organization.
Help manage artifact lifecycle systems including versioning, storage, distribution, and dependency management to support reproducible builds at scale.
Partner with development teams to design and improve code review workflows, branching strategies, and automated integration processes.
Provision, monitor, and optimize cloud infrastructure to support CI workloads, balancing cost efficiency with performance and reliability.
Troubleshoot build failures, pipeline bottlenecks, and infrastructure issues, driving root-cause analysis and implementing lasting fixes.
Contribute to internal tooling and automation that improves developer velocity and engineering productivity.
OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE:
2-5 years of professional experience in a DevOps, infrastructure, or software engineering role.
Familiarity with continuous integration and delivery systems and practical experience building or maintaining automated build and deployment pipelines.
Understanding of artifact repository management and software packaging concepts.
Experience with cloud computing platforms (AWS preferred) and programmatic resource provisioning.
Proficiency with distributed version control systems, code review processes, and repository management.
Foundational knowledge of operating system concepts (Linux/Unix), networking fundamentals, and scripting for automation.
Experience with containerization and container orchestration (Kubernetes preferred).
Strong troubleshooting skills and a methodical approach to debugging distributed systems.
Curiosity about how large-scale infrastructure is built, operated, and improved.
NICE TO HAVE:
Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools and practices.
Scripting proficiency in Python, Groovy, or Bash for build automation and tooling.
Exposure to build systems and build graph optimization.
Understanding of observability practices including monitoring, logging, and alerting.
BS/MS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
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.
