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.

At Snowflake, your role isn't just to execute a function, but to help redefine the future of how work gets done.

Serve as the primary technical owner and trusted advisor for assigned strategic accounts
Build deep familiarity with customer architectures, datasets, use cases, and operational goals
Partner with SRE, DevOps, and platform teams to integrate Observe into day-to-day operational workflows
Optimize datasets, queries, dashboards, and alerts for reliability, signal quality, performance, and cost
Lead regular health checks, architecture reviews, and proactive improvement initiatives
Identify new use cases and expansion opportunities aligned to customer outcomes
Coordinate technical escalations and advocate across Support, Engineering, and Product when needed
Provide clear technical guidance during change events, scaling initiatives, and complex operational scenarios
WHAT YOU BRING:
7+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, platform engineering, observability engineering, or customer-facing technical advisory roles
Strong hands-on experience operating production observability platforms
Direct experience with leading observability solutions such as Datadog, Dynatrace, Splunk, New Relic, Grafana, Elastic (ELK), or similar platforms
Practical experience with OpenTelemetry, including signals (logs, metrics, traces), instrumentation strategies, collectors, and telemetry pipelines
Strong understanding of distributed systems, cloud-native architectures, and modern DevOps practices
Experience improving operational outcomes (incident response, alert quality, troubleshooting speed, telemetry governance, or cost optimization)
Ability to lead complex technical conversations with practitioners and engineering leadership
Strong written communication skills for architecture summaries, optimization plans, and executive-ready updates
A pragmatic, consultative mindset focused on solving real-world production problems
NICE TO HAVE:
Experience helping organizations standardize or evolve telemetry strategies using OpenTelemetry
Experience modernizing from legacy logging or monitoring tools to modern observability platforms
Familiarity with cloud-native services (AWS, GCP, Azure) and Kubernetes-based environments
Experience influencing architecture or platform decisions in enterprise environments
Exposure to incident management platforms such as PagerDuty, Opsgenie, or VictorOps
Experience mentoring or guiding other engineers in observability best practices
Technical Account Managers ensure Observe becomes a durable, high-impact part of how customers operate and improve their systems. They translate platform capabilities into measurable operational value and deepen long-term technical trust with strategic customers.
