Snowflake Inc.

Snowflake Inc. is a public software company that builds the AI Data Cloud, a platform for storing, analyzing and sharing data. Founded in 2012, it was created to address the difficulty of scattered data and the limitations of traditional data warehouses. The platform runs on top of three major cloud providers - AWS, Azure and Google Cloud - allowing customers to work across clouds without managing their own data warehouse infrastructure. The company reports thousands of customers.

Technical work at Snowflake spans data warehousing, data integration, data sharing, analytics, machine learning, data engineering and multi-cloud infrastructure. The product is aimed at data engineers, data scientists and business analysts, and the company describes a continuing focus on improving platform usability.

The team is drawn largely from the data world, and staff describe a builder mindset retained despite the company's public-company scale. Internal communication is described as casual and candid. Snowflake went public through an IPO; its listing and financial details are available through public filings.
