Responsibilities
- Define and drive Snowsight’s web performance strategy using Core Web Vitals, custom interaction metrics, and time-to-visually-complete measurements.
- Build and maintain RUM and synthetic monitoring pipelines, regression detection, bundle analysis, performance dashboards, and alerting.
- Identify and resolve systemic performance bottlenecks involving loading, code splitting, React rendering, data fetching, caching, virtualization, streaming, memory, and CPU efficiency.
- Optimize bundle size, tree-shaking, chunk splitting, CDN caching, resource prioritization, and delivery performance.
- Establish performance budgets and CI/CD guardrails to catch regressions before release.
- Partner with product teams on performance-aware architectures, data-fetching patterns, rendering strategies, and progressive loading.
- Mentor engineers, review critical performance paths, and promote organization-wide ownership of performance.
- Represent frontend performance in cross-organizational architectural decisions involving API design, service infrastructure, and caching layers.
Requirements
- 8+ years of software engineering experience with deep expertise in web performance for large-scale, complex web applications.
- Expert-level JavaScript/TypeScript and React knowledge, including React rendering internals and performance diagnosis in large React codebases.
- Strong understanding of browser performance fundamentals, including the critical rendering path, layout/paint/composite pipeline, main-thread scheduling, Web Workers, and browser profiling tools.
- Experience designing and operating real-user and synthetic performance monitoring at scale, including custom metrics, percentile-based alerting, and regression anomaly detection.
- Deep knowledge of frontend build and delivery optimization, including code splitting, tree-shaking, lazy loading, CDN behavior, caching headers, resource hints, and related tooling.
- Experience with large-dataset rendering using virtualization, canvas/WebGL, streaming or incremental rendering, and efficient DOM management.
- Ability to set technical direction, build consensus, and explain performance trade-offs to engineering and product stakeholders.
- Experience working in a platform or infrastructure role serving other engineering teams.
- Familiarity with server-side rendering, streaming SSR, edge rendering, browser engines or internals, observability platforms, and open-source performance tooling is preferred.
- Experience with data-intensive interfaces such as query editors, result grids, dashboards, or notebooks is preferred.
- Ability to work on-site at the Bellevue, Washington or Menlo Park, California offices.
Benefits
- The role is on-site at Snowflake’s Bellevue, WA or Menlo Park, CA offices.
