Senior Product Manager - Cortex Platform

Snowflake is about empowering enterprises to achieve their full potential - and people too. With a culture that's all in on impact, innovation, and collaboration, Snowflake is the sweet spot for building big, moving fast, and taking technology - and careers - to the next level.

Snowflake's AI Data Cloud is the unified platform for building, using, and sharing data, apps, and AI. At the core of our AI strategy is the Cortex LLM Platform, the high-performance infrastructure that underpins all of Snowflake's AI products, including Snowflake Intelligence, Cortex Agents, Cortex AI functions, and customer-facing REST APIs.

We are seeking a Product Manager to lead the strategy and execution for the Cortex LLM Platform. In this role, you will own the foundational infrastructure that enables LLM serving at scale. You will be at the intersection of AI systems, service deployment, and data infrastructure, ensuring that Snowflake remains the smartest and most efficient cloud layer for the next generation of enterprise AI applications.

This is a high-visibility opportunity to solve complex, systemic problems regarding AI model performance, inference elasticity, and cost-efficiency. You will partner with senior architects and engineering leaders to translate cutting-edge LLM technology into scalable enterprise solutions.

• Define the Vision: Own the product strategy and long-term roadmap for the LLM platform layer that powers Snowflake's core AI services and third-party developer tools.

• Architect for AI Scale: Partner deeply with engineering teams to innovate on AI infrastructure, focusing on high-performance services and seamless integration with Snowflake's data layer.

• Drive 0-to-1 Execution: Spearhead the launch and maturation of new Cortex platform capabilities, driving the shift toward intelligent, serverless-style AI compute that reacts instantly to workload demands.

• Foster Cross-Functional Alignment: Serve as the central point of influence across Snowflake's AI organization. You will synthesize technical requirements from partner teams (e.g., AI SQL, Snowflake Intelligence) into a cohesive, actionable platform plan.

• Uncover Insights: Utilize data-driven governance to track key metrics such as inference performance, GPU utilization, and margins to inform the platform's next strategic bets.

• Partner with Customers: Collaborate with Platform Architects at leading enterprises to validate AI infrastructure designs, gather feedback via preview programs, and solve critical scale challenges.

• Experience: 7+ years of Product Management experience, with at least 3+ years specifically building AI/ML infrastructure, LLM serving platforms, or cloud compute systems.

• Systems Thinking: Deep technical comfort with LLM serving, AI infrastructure, API contracts, and distributed systems. You can decompose complex technical problems and dive deep into cloud architecture.

• Cross-Org Leadership: A proven track record of leading through influence, driving alignment across global engineering and product teams, and presenting to executive leadership.

• Customer Empathy: A passion for "Ease of Use." You understand the friction points AI developers face and have a relentless desire to deliver the best enterprise-grade AI platform.

• Modern Prototyping Skills: Comfort using modern AI and design tools to rapidly mock up wireframes and PRDs to visualize complex AI workflows.

• Educational Background: Bachelor's or Advanced degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
