Snowflake is a cloud-based data platform company that provides a multi-cloud data warehouse-as-a-service solution, enabling organizations to store, analyze, and share data across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Bozeman, Montana, the company has grown into a leader in the data cloud space, serving thousands of customers globally, including major enterprises like Netflix and 850+ public sector entities. Snowflake has a global presence with offices across North America, Europe, Asia, and more, supporting a massive customer base with its innovative architecture that separates compute from storage for scalability and cost efficiency.

In Spain, Snowflake operates an office in Madrid, which is part of their Iberian hiring strategy, focusing on sales and solution engineering roles to serve the growing Spanish and Portuguese data market. The work culture is known for being fast-paced, intellectual, and customer-obsessed, with a strong emphasis on employee well-being, diversity, equity, and inclusion. For international professionals, Snowflake offers a dynamic, multi-national environment, with English as the primary business language, and opportunities to work on cutting-edge cloud technologies, though relocating to Spain would require knowledge of the local market and possibly Spanish language for customer-facing roles.

Company History

Snowflake was founded in 2012 by Benoit Dageville, Thierry Cruanes, and Matt Vroom after seeing a need for a new type of database that could exploit the elasticity of the cloud. The company launched its product in 2014 and went public in September 2020 in one of the largest software IPOs in history, raising $3.4 billion. Since then, Snowflake has expanded rapidly in both product offerings (like the Data Cloud, partners, and applications) and geographically, establishing offices in major worldwide markets to fulfill its mission to make data easy and accessible.
