Job description

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

Snowflake's mission is to mobilize the world's data as the AI Data Cloud. Our AI and developer products help developers and data teams build, deploy, and operate modern data and AI applications.

We're looking for an early-career Developer Advocate who is passionate about developer experience, AI, data, and education. You will help builders discover, adopt, and succeed with Snowflake's AI and developer portfolio by creating high-quality technical content, demos, workshops, and community programs. You will work closely with Product, Engineering, Marketing, Community, and field teams, while bringing developer feedback back into the product.

AS A DEVELOPER ADVOCATE AT SNOWFLAKE, YOU WILL:

• Create technical content and adoption assets: Build clear, accurate documentation, quickstarts, tutorials, code samples, demos, and reference applications for developers and data practitioners.

• Turn complex AI, data, and application-development concepts into approachable, practical learning experiences.

• Contribute reusable patterns, templates, and playbooks that help builders move from first use to production.

• Support launches and developer programs: Help prepare priority AI and developer products for launch by testing developer journeys, identifying friction, and creating day-one enablement assets.

• Design and deliver workshops, hackathons, talks, and hands-on labs for customers, partners, students, and developer communities.

• Work with field and go-to-market teams on customer-ready demos, solution briefs, presentations, and technical walkthroughs.

• Connect developers and product teams: Gather feedback from community, customers, field teams, support, documentation, and product usage, then synthesize it into clear developer insights.

• Partner with Product and Engineering to improve onboarding, documentation, samples, APIs, tools, and the overall developer experience.

• Use qualitative feedback and adoption metrics to evaluate your work and improve content and programs over time.

• Represent Snowflake in the developer ecosystem: Participate authentically in developer, data, AI, and open-source communities through events, forums, technical content, and contributions.

• Build relationships with practitioners, learn where they get stuck, and help them succeed with Snowflake and the broader ecosystem.

• Share emerging developer needs, tools, and practices with internal teams.

OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE HAS:

• 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, or equivalent practical experience.

• A strong technical foundation and experience building software products demonstrated through prior roles, internships, coursework, open-source contributions, or substantial personal projects.

• Hands-on experience with developer tools, APIs, SDKs, CLI tools, source control, CI/CD etc.

• Familiarity with modern AI development, including prompting, grounding, evaluation, RAG, agents, tool calling, or LLM APIs.

• Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to explain technical concepts through clear narratives, examples, and presentations.

• Comfort presenting and facilitating technical sessions for groups with different levels of experience.

• A bias for action and ownership: you can structure ambiguous problems, learn quickly, seek feedback, and iterate.

• Strong collaboration skills and experience working across technical and non-technical teams through school, internships, community work, or prior roles.
  

BONUS POINTS:

• Internship, co-op, or project experience as a software, data, ML/AI, or solutions engineer.

• Experience with Snowflake or another cloud data platform.

• Understanding of data and analytics workflows such as SQL, ELT/ETL, notebooks, dbt, data science, or application development.

• Contributions to open-source projects, technical blogs, documentation, videos, or developer communities.

• Experience organizing hackathons, meetups, workshops, student clubs, or other technical community programs.

• Experience measuring content, community, or product adoption using quantitative and qualitative signals.
  

WHY JOIN THIS TEAM?

• Help shape how developers and data teams build with AI at a strategic moment for Snowflake.

• Create high-impact developer experiences used by customers and practitioners around the world.

• Learn from experienced advocates, product managers, engineers, and AI practitioners while owning meaningful work from day one.

• Be part of a culture that values thoughtful craftsmanship, velocity, collaboration, and customer obsession.

If you are excited about AI, data, developer tools, and helping other builders succeed, we'd love to hear from you.

Our Human Resources Department may use artificial intelligence to support its administrative processes.

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

• Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
• Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
• Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
• Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
• Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
• Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
• When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
• Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
• Have code, data work or projects you can show, and be ready to think aloud: many technical interviews test how you reason, not only the answer.

The city

The job is in Menlo Park, CA. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Menlo Park compares. Among the 145 largest places in California, Menlo Park is #133 by population, #9 for household income (#1 = highest), #135 for rent (#1 = cheapest), #11 for college degrees (#1 = most). Its county, San Mateo County, is #2 of 58 counties for average pay ($196,441).

The place in numbers

Menlo Park has 32,727 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 0.1% of the population of California. It covers 10 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 3,276 people per square mile. The median age is 39.5, 4% older than the state median (39.5 against 37.9).

Housing

The median gross rent is $3,239 a month (rent plus utilities), 59% above the state median ($3,239 against $2,036). Over a year that is 18.5% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is above $2 million (the ACS reports $2,000,001 as its highest value, so the true median is higher), which is at least 9.5 times the median household income ($210,025); a ratio above 5 usually means buying is out of reach without savings or a second income. 54.2% of households own their home, about the same as the state average (54.2% against 55.9%).

Work and pay

The San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, CA metropolitan area has 2,373,920 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $74,260 a year, 46% above the national median ($74,260 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (226,320 jobs, median $62,120); management (223,100 jobs, median $176,340); business and financial operations (207,030 jobs, median $112,960). The area is most specialised in computer and mathematical (1.9 times) and life, physical, and social science (1.8 times), where the share of workers is well above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($176,340) and computer and mathematical ($167,770). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of San Mateo County was 3.9%. 65.9% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in San Mateo County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 48.4% drive alone, 2.0% use public transit, 1.7% walk, 32.4% work from home. 11.5% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 41% below the state average (11.5% against 19.4%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.

People and education

72.5% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 96% above the state share (72.5% against 37.1%). 30.0% of residents were born outside the United States, 11% above the state share (30.0% against 27.0%). The poverty rate is 5.8%, 52% below the state rate (5.8% against 12.0%).

Climate

The warmest month is Aug, averaging 68°F (19.8°C), and the coolest is Jan at 47°F (8.3°C). About 510 mm (20 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Dec is the wettest month (114 mm) and Jul the driest (0 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.

Nearby cities to compare

Closest cities in this guide: East Palo Alto (1 miles, rent 31% lower); Atherton (3 miles, rent 8% higher); Redwood City (4 miles, rent 8% lower); Palo Alto (6 miles, rent 8% higher). Rent differences are against Menlo Park; use the Compare tab to put any two cities side by side.
