Snowflake is a global platform where thousands of organizations store and process their data. Our Data Marketplace allows our customers to exchange data across geographies, organizationions and cloud providers. We are now building an App Marketplace on top of the Data Marketplace. Think of it as an App Store or Play Store but with the apps running on the Snowflake Cloud, not phones. Snowflake is becoming an application platform. It’s a new, big, and differentiating feature for Snowflake and our customers.
The Native Apps team in Toronto is in the center of this innovation. We’re working on the core building blocks for the apps to support the app lifecycle - creation, versioning, global rollouts, installation and execution in a secure sandbox. We enable app runtimes for multiple languages and execution models. We deal with many aspects of the app framework from access control and permissions, through IP protection to UI frameworks. We’re still early in our journey and we are looking for talented and passionate engineers to innovate with us. Our big, multi-year goal is to launch a hugely successful app ecosystem. We count not only on your deep tech expertise and problem solving skills but also on eagerness to evangelize the new platform among developers.
