Compensation & Benefits
This is a rare opportunity to define a new research direction from the ground up. You won't be maintaining existing systems or iterating on someone else's roadmap. You'll be building the foundational training platform for physical AI at a company with the infrastructure, data scale, and research ambition to make it real. Our team already ships frontier models (Arctic LLM, Arctic Inference) and production agentic systems (Snowflake Intelligence). You'll have the resources of a platform company with the pace and autonomy of a research lab.
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.
