Residency Services
Certified IT professionals embedded within your team — on-site or remote — to accelerate projects, fill critical skill gaps, and transfer knowledge directly to your staff.
What Are Residency Services?
Residency services place Snowlake's certified engineers directly within your organization for a defined period. Unlike traditional consulting where experts come and go, our residents become part of your team — attending your standups, working in your systems, and solving your daily challenges alongside your staff.
This model is ideal when you need specialized expertise for a project, want to upskill your internal team, or need to maintain critical systems during a transition or peak period without committing to permanent headcount.

Why Choose Residency Over Traditional Consulting?
Traditional consulting engagements can feel disconnected — the expert arrives, delivers, and leaves before your team fully understands what was built. Residency is different:
- Deep integration with your team and processes
- Continuous availability throughout the engagement
- Knowledge stays in your organization after the engagement ends
- Faster ramp-up — no repeated context-setting meetings
- Flexible duration — weeks, months, or ongoing
