AS A TECHNICAL PROGRAM MANAGER: COMPUTE INFRASTRUCTURE AT SNOWFLAKE, YOU WILL:

  • Own and run programs that bring AI compute capacity online, from demand intake through procurement, deployment, and handoff to engineering teams.

  • Partner with infrastructure engineering, product, and finance teams to turn AI workload needs into clear, prioritized capacity plans.

  • Build and improve demand planning processes, including intake standards, forecasting inputs, and regular planning cycles that teams can rely on.

  • Track compute utilization and efficiency, surface trends early, and bring clear, data-informed recommendations to stakeholders.

  • Identify risks and dependencies across hardware supply, cloud providers, and internal teams, and drive them to resolution before they slow delivery.

  • Communicate program status, trade-offs, and decisions clearly to engineering partners and leadership.

  • Use AI-assisted workflows and automation to reduce manual coordination and make planning faster and more accurate.

OUR IDEAL TECHNICAL PROGRAM MANAGER: AI COMPUTE INFRASTRUCTURE WILL HAVE:

  • 2+ years of experience in technical program management, engineering, or a related technical role, preferred.

  • Experience delivering cross-functional programs in cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, or large-scale compute environments.

  • A working understanding of how compute capacity is planned and consumed, such as GPUs, accelerators, or cloud instances.

  • Strong analytical skills and comfort using data to frame problems, weigh trade-offs, and guide decisions.

  • Clear written and verbal communication, with the ability to align technical and non-technical stakeholders.

  • The ability to bring structure to ambiguous problems and keep work moving in a fast-paced environment.

  • A BS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.

BONUS POINTS FOR THE FOLLOWING:

  • Experience with GPU capacity planning, quota management, or AI/ML infrastructure programs.

  • Familiarity with major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) and how they supply and price compute.

  • Exposure to ML model serving, training, or inference workloads and what drives their resource needs.

  • Hands-on use of AI tools and agents, such as Snowflake Cortex AI, to automate planning, reporting, or coordination.

  • Experience designing incentive or governance models that improve resource efficiency across teams.
