Snowflake is an American cloud data company founded in 2012 by former Oracle database architects and headquartered in Bozeman, Montana. Its platform separates storage from compute so organisations can scale query power independently of data volume, run workloads across Amazon Web Services, Azure and Google Cloud, and share live datasets with partners without copying them. Originally a cloud data warehouse, it has expanded into data engineering, application development with Snowpark and Native Apps, and AI features through Cortex, and it listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 2020 in the largest software offering to that point.

Questions

Can a foreigner apply for these roles?

221 of the 221 roles here state no citizenship or security-check demand. A role that does says so in its advert, and the card marks it.

Which companies hire most backend developers?

Google (11), Fincons Group (11), NVIDIA (5), Elastic (5), Snowflake (5).

Which roles count as backend developer jobs?

Every role whose work is the server side of software - backend, API, platform and full stack developers, staff engineers and technical leads - at any employer. A role is filed under a language when its title names one (Java, Python, .NET, Go, Node.js, PHP, C++, Ruby, Rust); a "Software Engineer" that names none is a backend engineer's.

How fresh is this?

Every role is re-checked on the employer's own careers board at least every 48 hours, and the page is rebuilt every night.
