Puneet Shenoy — Director of Engineering
I am an engineering leader with 15+ years of experience scaling high-performing teams, building developer platforms, and delivering mission-critical software at a global scale. My passion lies in driving innovation, accelerating product velocity, and aligning technology with business strategy to create long-term impact. At Snowflake, I lead platform engineering, driving the backend services, API infrastructure, and platform modernization across 80+ global regions across 3 major cloud providers handling close to a billion daily requests. My teams have delivered product features, improved uptime from 99% → 99.99%, and reduced major incidents by 80%, significantly enhancing operational excellence. I am also deeply invested in AI/ML and its transformative impact on software engineering. I hold Stanford AI/ML & MLOps certifications (DeepLearning.AI, Andrew Ng) and have led initiatives to build ML-powered developer tools and infrastructure. Previously, I played a pivotal role at Pure Storage & Cumulus Networks (acquired by NVIDIA) in building and scaling cloud-native applications, object storage (S3), observability platforms, networking and developer productivity tools, driving $100M+ in revenue growth. I thrive in fast-paced, high-impact environments where I can lead strategy, execution, and organizational growth. Whether it’s scaling engineering teams, driving platform innovation, or shaping AI-driven transformation, I am committed to building technology that delivers business value.
