Who this role is best for

Geared toward cross-functional technical leaders comfortable with AI compute capacity planning, this role emphasizes collaboration with infrastructure, product, and finance teams in a US-based, fast-paced environment.

Best fit for

  • Candidates with cross-functional experience in cloud infrastructure and AI compute planning
    — “Experience delivering cross-functional programs in cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, or large-scale compute environments.”
  • Individuals who can structure ambiguous problems and align stakeholders with data-informed decisions
    — “Strong analytical skills and comfort using data to frame problems, weigh trade-offs, and guide decisions.”
  • Professionals who thrive in dynamic environments and are open to experimenting with emerging AI tools
    — “move with an experimental mindset — who rapidly test emerging capabilities to discover simpler, more powerful ways to deliver results.”

Things to consider

  • The role requires a focus on AI compute, not general infrastructure management
    — “Own and run programs that bring AI compute capacity online, from demand intake through procurement, deployment, and handoff to engineering teams.”
  • Candidates must be prepared to manage hardware supply and cloud provider dependencies
    — “Identify risks and dependencies across hardware supply, cloud providers, and internal teams, and drive them to resolution before they slow delivery.”

How to stand out

  • Highlight experience in building structured demand planning processes and forecasting tools
    — “Build and improve demand planning processes, including intake standards, forecasting inputs, and regular planning cycles that teams can rely on.”
  • Demonstrate ability to communicate complex trade-offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
    — “Clear written and verbal communication, with the ability to align technical and non-technical stakeholders.”
  • Showcase AI-assisted workflow automation or capacity optimization projects in your resume
    — “Use AI-assisted workflows and automation to reduce manual coordination and make planning faster and more accurate.”

About the role

Original posting from Snowflake via Ashby

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.

AS A TECHNICAL PROGRAM MANAGER: COMPUTE INFRASTRUCTURE AT SNOWFLAKE, YOU WILL:

  • Own and run programs that bring AI compute capacity online, from demand intake through procurement, deployment, and handoff to engineering teams.
  • Partner with infrastructure engineering, product, and finance teams to turn AI workload needs into clear, prioritized capacity plans.
  • Build and improve demand planning processes, including intake standards, forecasting inputs, and regular planning cycles that teams can rely on.
  • Track compute utilization and efficiency, surface trends early, and bring clear, data-informed recommendations to stakeholders.
  • Identify risks and dependencies across hardware supply, cloud providers, and internal teams, and drive them to resolution before they slow delivery.
  • Communicate program status, trade-offs, and decisions clearly to engineering partners and leadership.
  • Use AI-assisted workflows and automation to reduce manual coordination and make planning faster and more accurate.

OUR IDEAL TECHNICAL PROGRAM MANAGER: AI COMPUTE INFRASTRUCTURE WILL HAVE:

  • 2+ years of experience in technical program management, engineering, or a related technical role, preferred.
  • Experience delivering cross-functional programs in cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, or large-scale compute environments.
  • A working understanding of how compute capacity is planned and consumed, such as GPUs, accelerators, or cloud instances.
  • Strong analytical skills and comfort using data to frame problems, weigh trade-offs, and guide decisions.
  • Clear written and verbal communication, with the ability to align technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • The ability to bring structure to ambiguous problems and keep work moving in a fast-paced environment.
  • A BS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.

BONUS POINTS FOR THE FOLLOWING:

  • Experience with GPU capacity planning, quota management, or AI/ML infrastructure programs.
  • Familiarity with major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) and how they supply and price compute.
  • Exposure to ML model serving, training, or inference workloads and what drives their resource needs.
  • Hands-on use of AI tools and agents, such as Snowflake Cortex AI, to automate planning, reporting, or coordination.
  • Experience designing incentive or governance models that improve resource efficiency across teams.
