Engineering Managers at Snowflake are expected to have a technical background and will have either prior experience in the domain they are managing, or the talent to learn the area if required. Outside of Engineering-specific decision-making, the bar is high in terms of critical thinking, communication, and sound decision-making. Managers who share a belief in the importance of these non-technical traits alongside the desire to build novel, best-in-class engineering, will excel in our environment.
