Product Manager - Traffic & Networking

About the Role

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.

Snowflake is transforming how the world uses data and AI — and the networking and traffic infrastructure that powers these experiences is mission-critical. As a Product Manager focused on Traffic & Networking, you will define how Snowflake delivers secure, reliable, and high-performance connectivity at global scale, including the networking foundations required to support AI-driven products and workloads.

You will own the product vision and roadmap for internal traffic management, service-to-service networking, customer connectivity, and performance optimization across multi-cloud environments. A core part of this role is defining and evolving Snowflake’s network strategy to support AI products, including latency-sensitive inference, large-scale model training pipelines, vector search, streaming ingestion, and cross-region data movement.

This is a high-impact role at the intersection of distributed systems, cloud networking, and AI infrastructure.

As a Product Manager at Snowflake You Will

• Define the networking strategy required to support Snowflake’s AI products, including low-latency inference paths, high-throughput data pipelines, GPU-adjacent services, and elastic scaling for AI workloads.
• Partner with AI platform, compute, and storage teams to ensure networking capabilities meet the performance, isolation, and reliability needs of emerging AI use cases.
• Drive architectural decisions around traffic engineering, load balancing, service mesh, regional and cross-region routing, and failure handling in multi-cloud environments.
• Identify and prioritize networking innovations that improve tail latency, throughput, and cost efficiency for both traditional analytics and AI workloads.
• Define customer-facing networking capabilities and abstractions that make it easy for customers to deploy secure, high-performance AI workloads on Snowflake.
• Improve observability and diagnostics for network performance, enabling customers and internal teams to understand and optimize AI and data workloads.
• Partner closely with security teams to ensure networking features align with enterprise requirements for isolation, encryption, access control, and zero-trust architectures.
• Lead cross-functional execution across infrastructure, AI, security, and go-to-market teams, driving clarity in complex, deeply technical problem spaces.
• Communicate roadmap, trade-offs, and outcomes effectively to senior leadership and key stakeholders.

Our Ideal Product Manager Will Have

• 2+ years of product management experience or a role in a similar capacity in infrastructure, networking, distributed systems, or cloud platforms.
• Strong understanding of networking fundamentals including TCP/IP, DNS, load balancing, routing, service mesh, private link and multi-cloud connectivity.
• Experience building or operating platforms that support latency-sensitive or high-throughput workloads, such as AI inference, streaming, or real-time systems.
• Ability to collaborate deeply with engineers on architectural design, performance optimization, and scalability trade-offs.
• Customer-first mindset with the ability to translate complex infrastructure challenges into intuitive product experiences.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills in highly technical environments.
