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. ## Description With AIM Virtualization we're redefining interoperability for the modern data stack. Our platform makes existing applications instantly work on Snowflake by bringing the core tenets of virtualization to the database. With our runtime, customers move to Snowflake without changing SQL or APIs. As a result, AIM Virtualization makes time-consuming migrations obsolete. Our platform is uniquely situated at the intersection of database internals and their practical application. Our team gets to tackle some of the most intricate database implementation challenges. All while pioneering an industry-first framework which customers consistently describe as "too good to be true". If you're looking to work on interesting problems that truly matter to our customers while advancing how we can use AI across the organization, this is the team for you. We are looking for AI-first engineers who are not afraid to take on hard and unusual challenges. We are one of Snowflake's leading teams in AI-driven software synthesis. Join us if you're looking to build systems, devise engineering processes, and direct AI systems to synthesize components of a mission critical platform. Responsibilities: * Participate in AI-based development across the full platform, from syntactic and semantic analysis, to wire protocols, and data ingest/egress. * Collaborate with product managers, solution architects, and field engineering to enable customers make one of the most critical transitions in their database journey. * Define and improve our engineering processes around AI-based software synthesis workflows. ## Related Videos - [How building an industry DBMS differs from building a research one](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/768-how-building-an-industry-dbms-differs-from-building-a-research-one) - [How Cisco embraced a DevOps culture within its network engineering team](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/99-how-cisco-embraced-a-devops-culture-within-its-network-engineering-team) - [Kubernetes and Microservices with Multi-Model Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/382-kubernetes-and-microservices-with-multi-model-databases) - [Tips and Tricks for Working with JSON](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1229-tips-and-tricks-for-working-with-json) - [Hacking AI at the Edge of the Indian Ocean](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100177-hacking-ai-at-the-edge-of-the-indian-ocean) - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Making Data Warehouses Fast: A Developer’s Story](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/107-making-data-warehouses-fast-a-developer-s-story) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [How to Become an AI Engineer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/331-how-to-become-an-ai-engineer) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development)
