Full Job Description
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. The Billing & Payments Platform team builds Snowflake's central data repository and infrastructure for customer resource consumption, revenue processing, invoicing, and reporting. Our systems power Snowflake's business and enable every other engineering team — and the architectures we ship double as reference patterns for our customers building on Snowflake. Computing Snowflake's bills, at its core, is a challenging distributed systems problem: real-time usage metering across every cloud and region, rating against tens of thousands of SKUs and contract terms, and supporting an ever-evolving catalog of pricing models — including the new commercial constructs we are inventing for Cortex AI, Snowflake Intelligence, and the broader agentic AI portfolio. Our applications must meet strict requirements for accuracy, auditability, and low-latency processing. This is a deeply cross-functional role. You will partner daily with Product, Finance, Legal, Growth, Go-to-Market Systems, Snowsight UI, Cortex AI, and product engineering teams across Snowflake to deliver experiences that customers and internal stakeholders depend on every day. WHAT YOU'LL DO As a Senior Software Engineer on Billing Platform, you will: - Own medium-sized projects end-to-end — from design through launch and ope
