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. About the Team The Finance Data Science team owns the forecasting systems that power Snowflake’s revenue planning and long-term financial strategy. Our work supports corporate planning, executive decision-making, and investor reporting, and we partner closely with Product and Sales to understand customer behavior and product impact. We operate at the intersection of machine learning, statistical research, and corporate finance, building production-grade forecasting infrastructure that is foundational to how the company plans and operates. The Role As a Senior Data Scientist, you will independently lead high-impact modeling initiatives and build production-ready forecasting systems for core financial metrics. You will work on complex, open-ended problems at the intersection of machine learning and business strategy, translating real-world financial questions into rigorous, scalable models. What You’ll Do - Design and implement advanced time-series and probabilistic models (e.g., hierarchical models, state-space models, Bayesian approaches, multivariate forecasting). - Contribute to internal tooling and shared infrastructure that enables scalable forecasting and analytics. - Establish best practices for model evaluation, backtesting, uncertainty quantification, and scenario simulation. - Apply advanced statistical and ML techniques to model customer behavior, product adoption, revenue dynamics, and cost trends. - Drive improvements in automation, monitoring, drift detection, and lifecycle management of forecasting models. - Partner with Finance, Product, and Sales teams to quantify the impact of new initiatives and understand key business drivers. - Mentor and provide technical guidance to other data scientists; raise the bar for modeling rigor and production quality across the team. - What We’re Looking For - Advanced degree in a quantitative discipline (Statistics, Mathematics, Operations Research, Economics, Engineering, Computer Science) or equivalent practical experience. - 8+ years of experience building and deploying production-grade ML or statistical systems, with significant experience in time-series modeling. - Deep expertise in probabilistic modeling, forecasting methodologies, and model evaluation techniques. - Strong proficiency in Python and the scientific Python ecosystem; fluency in SQL. - Experience designing systems for large-scale data processing (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Spark). - Demonstrated ability to lead technically ambiguous projects with significant business impact. - Excellent communication skills, with experience presenting complex quantitative findings to executive stakeholders. - A track record of elevating technical standards and mentoring other scientists. Every Snowflake employee is expected to follow the company’s confidentiality and security standards for handling sensitive data.
