Senior Snowflake AI Architect (Cortex)
Location- Hybrid @ Dallas, TX
***Must have Snowflake Cortex experience to be considered**
About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Snowflake Architect with deep expertise in Snowflake Cortex to design, build, and guide customers in delivering production-grade AI and machine learning use cases on the Snowflake AI Data Cloud. You will act as a trusted technical advisor, translating customer business problems into scalable Cortex-powered solutions spanning generative AI, RAG, LLM functions, and ML workflows.
Key Responsibilities
- Partner with customers to identify high-value AI/ML use cases and architect end-to-end solutions using Snowflake Cortex (Cortex AISQL, Cortex Analyst, Cortex Search, Cortex Agents, and fine-tuning).
- Design and implement Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines using Cortex Search and vector embeddings.
- Build conversational analytics and text-to-SQL experiences using Cortex Analyst over structured data.
- Leverage Cortex LLM functions (COMPLETE, SUMMARIZE, SENTIMENT, TRANSLATE, EXTRACT_ANSWER, CLASSIFY) within SQL and Python workflows.
- Configure Cortex Sense to assemble shared business context that grounds CoWork and CoCo agents for higher accuracy out of the box.
- Expose Cortex Agents, semantic views, and search services as tools via Snowflake-managed MCP servers for reuse across MCP-compatible clients.
- Enable customers to build with Snowflake CoCo — the Snowflake-native, data-aware AI coding agent — to accelerate data engineering, ML pipelines, app and agent development that respects catalog, lineage, and RBAC.
- Develop and deploy ML models using Snowflake ML, Snowpark, and Model Registry; operationalize feature engineering and inference at scale.
Required Qualifications
- 10+ years in data architecture, data engineering, or ML engineering, with 3+ years hands-on Snowflake experience.
- Demonstrated experience building AI/GenAI solutions, ideally with Snowflake Cortex or comparable LLM/ML platforms.
- Strong SQL and Python; proficiency with Snowpark.
- Solid understanding of LLM concepts: prompting, embeddings, vector search, RAG, fine-tuning, and evaluation.
- Experience designing secure, governed cloud data platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
- Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills for customer-facing engagements
