Where Data Does More. Join the Snowflake team.

We're at the forefront of the data revolution, committed to building the world's greatest data and applications platform. Snowflake started with a clear vision: develop a cloud data platform that is effective, affordable, and accessible to all data users. Data Cloud allows sharing live data in governed and secure ways so our customers can solve their business problems. We're building a collaboration forum for data consumers and providers to exchange and collaborate on data within an organization.

The Collaboration team is at the forefront of revolutionizing multi-party data collaboration. We are building the next generation of our data sharing platform, focusing on a groundbreaking AI-powered capability. This project aims to seamlessly connect data providers with consumers based on their expressed use cases. Imagine a user providing a natural language query like "I need data to understand consumer spending habits for athletic footwear in the Bay Area during Q3" - our system will intelligently identify, recommend, and orchestrate access to the most relevant data providers and data products. This ambitious initiative sits at the intersection of large language models, advanced data intelligence, and secure data sharing, promising to unlock unprecedented value for our customers.
