About the Role

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.

About the role

We are an AI-first analytics team. We don't use AI to augment traditional BI workflows — we've replaced them. The Finance Analytics team builds the intelligence layer that Strategic Finance runs on: AI agents that encode repeatable finance processes, Streamlit apps that surface real-time insight, semantic models that let any analyst query complex data in plain English, and workflow automations that collapse hours of manual work into a single prompt.

Our primary development environment is CoCo (Cortex Code), Snowflake's AI coding assistant, and SnowWork, the AI IDE we ship work in. Every deliverable on this team is built AI-first: you design the workflow, you write the prompt, you validate the output. If you are still building dashboards by hand, refreshing Excel files manually, or treating AI as a spell-checker for your code — this role will ask you to operate differently.

This is a high-breadth seat. One week you're building a new AI agent for quarterly revenue analysis; the next you're designing a sensitivity analysis tool for an earnings war room. You are equally comfortable in an AI-IDE, a Python file, and a stakeholder summary for a senior finance leader.

Hard skills required

Must-have

AI-assisted developmentYou have used an LLM coding assistant (CoCo, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude, or equivalent) as your primary development tool — not an occasional helper, not a code reviewer. You know how to write a prompt that produces production-ready output, how to steer a model that's heading in the wrong direction, and how to encode domain logic into a reusable, parameterized skill. You have a measurable, trackable record of daily AI usage.

Prompt engineering and skill authoring — You can write a structured prompt (YAML + Markdown or equivalent) that routes correctly 95% of the time, handles edge cases gracefully, and encodes enough domain knowledge that the model behaves like a subject matter expert. You think in terms of context, instructions, examples, and output format — not just "the thing I typed before the code came out."

Python — Modern, type-hinted, readable. You write Python-based applications, data pipelines, and reporting automation. You understand caching, session state, and how to structure a multi-page app cleanly.

SQL — CTEs, window functions, incremental pipeline patterns. You don't look up the syntax for a row-numbered deduplication.

Data modeling fundamentals — You understand semantic layers, and how to build a model that a non-technical user can query in plain English.

Strong plus

Soft skills required

Translates between AI, data, and finance

Your stakeholders are financial analysts and senior directors who think in Excel models and board decks. You write prompts and code, but your output needs to make sense to someone who has never opened a terminal. You are the translation layer between what the model can do and what finance actually needs.
You communicate complex ideas simply, ensuring stakeholders understand, trust, and can act on what you build. You are the translation layer between what the model can do and what finance actually needs.

Thinks in workflows, not tasks

You don't just answer a question — you build a tool that answers it forever. When asked to do something twice, you automate it. Your instinct is to encode work into a reusable agent, not to redo it manually each week.

Works fast with high accuracy

The role runs on a weekly cadence tied to finance deliverables. You scope, build, and ship a working artifact in 1–2 days. Accuracy matters more than speed — but accuracy is not a reason to be perpetually slow.

Why this role is unusual at this level

This seat asks you to do all of that and build the AI infrastructure that makes the entire Finance Analytics team faster. You are simultaneously a practitioner and a workflow engineer.

If you are fluent with AI development tools, you can punch significantly above your level.

The analyst this role is backfilling ran over 22,000 AI-assisted development sessions in their first three months. That's the pace expectation.

Every Snowflake employee is expected to follow the company’s confidentiality and security standards for handling sensitive data. Snowflake employees must abide by the company’s data security plan as an essential part of their duties. It is every employee's duty to keep customer information secure and confidential.

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.
