About Snowplow

As the leader in Data Creation, Snowplow empowers more than 10,000 organisations, including Strava, Burberry, Condé Nast and Flickr to create first-party customer behavioual data to unlock transformative AI and advanced analytics directly from their warehouse, lakehouse or in a real-time stream.

Snowplow was founded with the belief that data teams should spend their time innovating and driving competitive advantage, not extracting and wrangling behavioral data from CDP’s or digital analytics platforms.

Following our $40 million in Series B funding led by global venture capital firm, NEA, whose prior investments include Databricks, MongoDB, and Elastic, we are on the lookout for more creative and innovative individuals to help us shape our next chapter.

The Opportunity

We are always on the look out for standout Solutions Architects who are masterminds at juggling both the technical and commercial consultative conversations. This role sits in our Professional Services team, reporting into the Head of Professional Services. It is absolutely essential that our Solutions Architects are curious about our customers and the problems they are trying to solve. 

At Snowplow we see activating our customers as one of the most important functions of our business in terms of retaining and delighting customers. We aim to deeply understand the business and data outcomes that our customers want to see and design implementations of our product around this. 

Our Solutions Architecture team works directly with customer data teams to train them on the Snowplow product, co-design and develop bespoke solutions, implement use cases and quantify business value.
