Senior Full Stack Engineer (App Runtime)

• The App Runtime team is building a platform that lets every Snowflake user go from an idea to a live, deployed web application (Node.js first) in minutes. We own the end-to-end experience of building and running apps, from Cortex AI-assisted development to deployment in a secure, scalable infrastructure. Apps built on the platform inherit Snowflake’s security, governance, lineage, and access controls by default. See Deploy Faster with Snowflake Apps
