Snowflake

Public

Snowflake's professional services and Cortex AI teams help enterprises build AI and ML workloads directly on the data platform. FDEs implement Snowflake Cortex pipelines, ML feature stores, and agentic workflows that run SQL-native inference without moving data outside Snowflake.

Signals from job descriptions

Patterns mined from Snowflake's open FDE postings

  • 01

    "Agentic enterprise" is new language appearing in JDs from late 2025 onward. Absent in earlier Snowflake postings. Signaling a deliberate strategic pivot within Cortex AI.

  • 02

    Snowpark ML is appearing as a required skill, meaning FDEs are expected to build ML pipelines natively inside Snowflake rather than connecting external tools.

  • 03

    dbt and Airflow appear alongside Cortex AI, suggesting FDEs must bridge data engineering and AI deployment rather than owning one or the other.
