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.\r\nAbout the role We are looking for a software engineer to help build and evolve Snowflake's NodeJS Driver and Universal Driver platform. This role sits at the intersection of developer experience, distributed systems, client libraries, and performance-sensitive infrastructure. You will work on the Node.js connector used by application developers today while also helping drive Snowflake's Universal Driver architecture, which is consolidating multiple language drivers behind a shared core written in Rust with thin language-specific wrappers.\r\nIn this role, you will contribute to secure connection and authentication flows, SQL execution, result handling, type conversions, compatibility, release quality, and long-term maintainability. You will partner closely with engineers across driver teams, test and performance engineering, release engineering, product management, documentation, and security to deliver reliable client connectivity at scale.\r\nWhat you'll do Design, implement, and maintain features in Snowflake's NodeJS Driver, including connection lifecycle, statement execution, result processing, type handling, and error handling.\r\nImprove the security and reliability of the driver stack, including work related to SSL/TLS, token handling, MFA/SSO flows, certificate validation, and secure authentication options.\r\nHelp evolve Snowflake's Universal Driver architecture, which aims to replace independently maintained drivers with a shared core and consistent language wrappers.\r\nBuild and improve shared driver capabilities across core and wrapper layers, with attention to backward compatibility, consistency, and customer migration safety.\r\nDrive high-quality engineering execution through testing, performance analysis, CI improvements, production issue response, and release readiness.\r\nCollaborate with engineers across multiple language ecosystems and shared infrastructure to make Snowflake drivers simpler to maintain and easier for developers to adopt.\r\nPartner with product, documentation, release engineering, and support stakeholders to deliver polished APIs, clear guidance, and dependable releases.\r\nWhat we're looking for Strong software engineering fundamentals in backend or systems-oriented development.\r\nProfessional experience with Node.js and JavaScript or TypeScript, especially in SDKs, APIs, infrastructure, or platform components.\r\nExperience designing or maintaining developer-facing libraries, connectors, drivers, or other reusable platform abstractions.\r\nFamiliarity with database connectivity concepts such as sessions, query execution, result streaming, type mapping, retries, and error handling.\r\nExperience building secure systems, including authentication, TLS, token management, and certificate-related controls.\r\nA strong quality mindset, including automated testing, performance tuning, debugging, and production ownership.\r\nStrong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering, product, documentation, and release stakeholders.\r\nPreferred qualifications Experience with systems programming or shared-core architectures, including Rust, C, or C++ interop.\r\nExperience building cross-language platforms, FFI-based integrations, or wrapper architectures for multiple runtimes.\r\nExperience with driver or connector performance work, compatibility testing, or release engineering for widely used client software.\r\nExperience working on products where backward compatibility and customer migration risk are important design constraints.\r\nWhy this role matters Snowflake's drivers are a critical part of how customers and internal teams connect applications to the platform. The NodeJS Driver is an important developer-facing integration surface, and Universal Driver is a strategic investment to unify architecture, improve consistency, reduce maintenance burden, and achieve equal or better performance across language ecosystems.\r\nThis role is a chance to shape both the current developer experience in Node.js and the long-term future of Snowflake's driver platform.\r\nSnowflake is growing fast, and we're scaling our team to help enable and accelerate our growth.
