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.
Snowflake’s mission is to mobilize the world’s data. With Cortex Code, we are building AI-powered development experiences that help data and engineering teams design, build, and operate modern data applications faster than ever before. We are looking for a Developer Advocate who is passionate about AI, developer experiences, and education to help make Cortex Code the most effective AI coding agent for data teams.
As a Developer Advocate, Cortex Code Enablement, you will focus on enablement and adoption: creating world-class documentation, guides, and examples; running hackathons and events; and designing Agent Skills and other artifacts that help customers get real value from Cortex Code.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Own the Cortex Code enablement experience end-to-end, from onboarding content and quickstarts to advanced how‑to guides and best practices for data engineers, analysts, and developers.
Define and maintain documentation, tutorials, and samples for Cortex Code, including:
Product overviews and conceptual docs
Step‑by‑step guides and walkthroughs
Code examples and reference projects
“How we built this” patterns for data and AI workflows
Design, launch, and run hackathons, workshops, and events (internal and customer-facing) that showcase Cortex Code capabilities and drive meaningful adoption.
Create and curate Agent Skills for Cortex Code, working closely with engineering, Product Managers, and solution architects/engineers to:
Identify high‑value use cases and workflows
Design skill specifications and behaviors
Iterate based on usage data, evaluation results, and user feedback
Collaborate with GTM and field teams (sales, SEs, partners, marketing) to build collateral and enablement:
Battlecards, demos, and solution briefs
Customer-ready decks and walkthroughs
Playbooks for common patterns (e.g., dbt, Airflow, data quality, governance)
Represent the voice of AI‑native builders by synthesizing feedback from customers, community, and internal users into prioritized product and skills roadmaps.
Measure impact of enablement assets and events using adoption, engagement, and performance metrics; use these insights to continuously refine content, skills, and programs.
OUR IDEAL DEVELOPER ADVOCATE WILL HAVE:
Completion of a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, AI/ML, Data Science, Human‑Computer Interaction, or a related technical field.
Demonstrated product mindset through internships, projects, or leadership in:
Developer tools, data platforms, or productivity products, and/or
Building, shipping, or maintaining AI-powered applications.
Strong technical foundation with the ability to understand and explain:
How LLMs work at a high level (prompting, tokenization, grounding, evaluation)
Common AI patterns like RAG, tools/agents, and function calling
Data and analytics workflows (SQL, ELT/ETL, dbt, orchestration tools like Airflow)
AI‑native experience, such as:
Building projects using LLM APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Snowflake Cortex, OSS models)
Designing prompts, tools/skills, or agents to solve real‑world problems
Experimenting with model evaluation, safety/guardrails, or latency/cost tradeoffs.
Excellent communication and storytelling skills:
Able to translate complex AI and data concepts into clear documentation, diagrams, and examples
Comfortable presenting in workshops, hackathons, and community events.
Bias for action and ownership – you enjoy starting from a blank page, structuring ambiguous problems, and iterating quickly based on feedback and data.
Strong collaboration skills, with experience working across engineering, design, PM, and go‑to‑market teams (from school projects, internships, or prior roles).
NICE TO HAVE:
Prior experience as a software engineer, data engineer, or ML/AI engineer (internships, co‑ops, or substantial personal projects).
Experience with:
Snowflake or other cloud data platforms or or similar data workflow tools
Building internal tools, bots, or plugins that integrate LLMs with existing systems.
Contributions to open-source projects, technical blogs, or developer communities (meetups, Discord/Slack communities, forums, etc.).
Experience organizing hackathons, meetups, or student clubs focused on AI, data, or developer tools.
WHY JOIN THE CORTEX CODE TEAM:
Shape how AI agents will change the way data and engineering teams build in Snowflake.
Work on high‑impact, visible experiences that reach millions of developers and data practitioners.
Learn from experienced PMs, engineers, and AI practitioners while owning meaningful product areas from day one.
Be part of a culture that values thoughtful craftsmanship, velocity, and customer‑obsession.
If you are excited about building the future of AI‑powered development and love enabling others through content, tools, and community, we’d love to hear from you.
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.
