Principal Product Manager (Snowpark)

• Snowpark is how developers run distributed Python, Java, and Scala workloads directly on the Snowflake platform — securely, at scale, and without moving data. It is one of Snowflake’s most differentiated and fastest-growing products, and as workloads become agent-driven — where Python is the default — its growth is only accelerating
• Having expanded from structured data into semi-structured and ETL workloads, Snowpark is now entering its most exciting phase: unstructured, multimodal, and agentic AI data processing
• We are looking for a Principal Product Manager to own Snowpark and lead this next chapter. This is a general-manager-style role: you will own the strategy, growth, and go-to-market for a critical product line, acting as an entrepreneur with the autonomy to propose and launch multiple 0→1 bets on top of an already highly successful product
• You will be the most senior PM on the product, with a clear path to lead the Snowpark PM team as you demonstrate impact
• Define the Mission: Own the end-to-end, multi-year strategy and roadmap for Snowpark as the standard for distributed Python, Java, and Scala processing on the data platform
• Lead the 0→1: Drive the expansion into unstructured/multimodal data processing and agentic, Python-based data engineering — the greenfield bets that open new markets for Snowflake
• Own the Platform: Own ML and AI inference workloads, Python expansion areas, batch pipelines, and the core Snowpark surface — execution engine, security, and governance
• Drive Go-To-Market: Act as a GM for the product, partnering with Sales, Sales Engineering, and Marketing to accelerate adoption and growth
• Collaborate Across Boundaries: Partner with engineering, ecosystem, and orchestration teams (e.g., Airflow integrations) to define the end-to-end Snowpark experience
• Be the Go-To Expert: Become the definitive voice on Snowpark — internally for engineering and SEs, and externally for customers
