Build the future of data. Join the Snowflake team.
We’re hiring talented Senior Software Engineers for our Avalanche team that are passionate about using software-based approaches to solve complex infrastructure challenges and automate those solutions. You’ll be part of the cloud engineering organization where we have a strong focus on using engineering and software practices to manage and scale our cloud infrastructure.
The Avalanche team drives automation initiatives within Snowflake, providing an innovative platform that allows engineers across the company to move manual operational tasks into code. Our team also owns the process of deploying Snowflake globally across multiple cloud providers, using our own platform to automate rollout and management of cloud infrastructure at a scale few companies can match.
As an Avalanche team member, you’ll build a deep understanding of Snowflake’s infrastructure and services. You will use that knowledge, coupled with your existing infrastructure and cloud experience, to optimize and evolve our infrastructure reliability, availability, serviceability, and price/performance. You’ll lead and contribute to initiatives aimed at scaling our processes, systems, and automation.
To be successful, you’ll need to be deeply technical and capable of holding your own alongside strong peers.

As part of our team, you will be supporting other teams as they use our platform, so you must possess excellent communication, collaboration, and diplomacy skills.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be expected to demonstrate infrastructure and cloud expertise. You must have the ability to take large, complex projects from conception to completion with minimal guidance. In addition, you will be expected to mentor and support more junior team members, leading by example with excellent code quality, documentation, and SDLC best practices.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
- The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
- Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
- We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
- We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
- From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
- We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
- If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
- EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
