The posting

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.

AS A SENIOR TECHNICAL PROGRAM MANAGER OF CAPACITY PLANNING, YOU WILL:

- Own the capacity planning program end-to-end — from demand forecasting and resource modeling to procurement coordination and delivery tracking across Snowflake's multi-cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP)

- Drive cross-functional alignment between Engineering, Infrastructure, Finance, and Cloud Provider teams to ensure capacity meets projected growth, seasonal demand spikes, and new product launches

- Build and improve forecasting models and frameworks that translate business growth signals, customer onboarding patterns, and workload trends into actionable infrastructure capacity plans

- Establish governance and review cadences — own weekly/monthly capacity reviews with engineering leadership, surface risks and tradeoffs, and drive decisions on resource allocation and prioritization

- Identify and mitigate capacity risks proactively — monitor utilization trends, flag bottlenecks, single points of failure, and lead constraint resolution before they become customer-impacting

- Partner closely with engineering teams to understand workload characteristics, architecture changes, and new feature launches that affect capacity requirements

- Drive efficiency and optimization programs — identify opportunities to reduce waste, improve utilization, and right-size infrastructure spend without compromising performance or availability

- Develop dashboards, metrics, and reporting that give leadership real-time visibility into capacity health, spend trajectory, and delivery timelines

- Influence infrastructure strategy by providing data-driven recommendations on cloud provider mix, reserved vs. on-demand strategy, and long-term capacity investments

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

Required:

- 7+ years of experience in technical program management, infrastructure planning, capacity management, or a related discipline at a cloud-scale technology company

- Demonstrated experience managing programs across multiple cloud providers (AWS, Azure, and/or GCP)

- Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure concepts: compute, storage, networking, containerization, and resource orchestration

- Experience with demand forecasting, resource modeling, and data-driven decision-making at scale

- Proven ability to drive cross-functional programs spanning engineering, finance, and operations with VP/Director-level stakeholders

- Excellent communication skills — ability to synthesize complex technical and financial data into clear executive-ready narratives

- Strong program management fundamentals: dependency tracking, risk management, milestone governance, and stakeholder alignment

Preferred:

- Experience with infrastructure capacity planning at hyperscale (10K+ node deployments or equivalent)

- Familiarity with cloud cost management and FinOps principles

- Experience with data platforms, data warehousing, or database infrastructure

- Working knowledge of monitoring and observability tools (Grafana, Datadog, CloudWatch, or equivalent)

- Background in building or improving automated capacity planning systems and tooling

- Experience operating in a fast-growth, high-ambiguity environment where priorities shift quickly

SNOWFLAKE VALUES WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

- Get It Done — You thrive on turning ambiguity into executable plans and delivering outcomes, not just status updates

- Own It — You treat the capacity program as yours end-to-end, anticipating risks rather than reacting to them

- Integrity Always — You make data-driven recommendations even when they're uncomfortable, and communicate tradeoffs transparently

- Think Big — You don't just plan for today's scale — you build the frameworks that prepare Snowflake for 10x growth

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
