AI Software Engineer

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 is building the most powerful AI Data Cloud in the world — and Canada is a critical part of that mission. Our AI/ML engineering teams are delivering the intelligence layer that powers Cortex AI, large language model inference, AI functions, intelligent search, and the next generation of AI-powered experiences on the Snowflake platform.

We're looking for a Software Engineer — AI to join our growing Toronto engineering team. You'll design, build, and ship AI-powered systems and services that are used by thousands of organizations worldwide. If you're passionate about building production AI infrastructure at scale and want to work alongside world-class engineers on problems that matter, this is the role.

• →

  Experience with LLM inference, fine-tuning, RAG architectures, or vector search at production scale

• →

  Familiarity with ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar

• →

  Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)

• →

  Background in data platforms, data warehousing, or SQL-based systems

• →

  Experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and production monitoring/observability

• →

  Contributions to open-source AI/ML projects or published research in AI/ML

• Get It Done — You ship working software. You move fast, iterate, and deliver results — not just prototypes.

• Own It — You take end-to-end responsibility for your code, your systems, and your outcomes. If something breaks, you fix it.

• Make Each Other the Best — You contribute to a culture of learning through thoughtful code reviews, knowledge sharing, and helping teammates grow.

• Think Big — You don't just solve today's problem. You think about how AI at Snowflake should work at 10x scale and build with that future in mind.

• AI at enterprise scale — Cortex AI powers intelligent features for thousands of organizations; your code ships to production and impacts real customers

• Work at the frontier — LLM inference, AI functions, intelligent search, agentic workflows — this team is building the AI platform layer of the data cloud

• Toronto's growing engineering hub — join a rapidly expanding office with strong local engineering leadership and team culture

• Unmatched data advantage — Snowflake sits on one of the largest concentrations of enterprise data in the world, giving AI products a unique moat

• World-class colleagues — work alongside engineers from Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, and leading AI research labs

• Competitive compensation and meaningful equity — including RSUs that give you real ownership in Snowflake's growth

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.
