| Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Operating Leases—The Company leases its facilities for office space under non-cancelable operating leases with various expiration dates through fiscal 2039. Certain lease agreements include options to renew or terminate the lease, which are not reasonably certain to be exercised and therefore are not factored into the determination of lease payments. In February 2026, the Company entered into a lease agreement for a new office facility located in the United States with a total commitment of $52.0 million, net of tenant incentives expected. The lease commenced during the six months ended July 31, 2026, with an expiration date in fiscal 2039, and resulted in an increase of $27.9 million in each of the Company’s operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities. As of July 31, 2026, the Company had committed $77.6 million for leases signed but not yet commenced based on the exchange rate as of July 31, 2026. These leases will commence on various dates starting in fiscal 2027 with lease terms ranging from 5.3 years to 7.2 years. In addition, the Company subleases certain of its unoccupied facilities to third parties with various expiration dates through fiscal 2033. Such subleases have all been classified as operating leases. Sublease income is recorded as a reduction to the Company’s operating lease costs. Sublease income was not material for each of the three and six months ended July 31, 2026 and 2025. Impairment charges were not material for the six months ended July 31, 2026. During the six months ended July 31, 2025, the Company recognized impairment charges of $87.8 million for operating lease right-of-use assets, and $20.8 million for property and equipment, net, primarily relating to the cease-use of its San Mateo office facility. These impairment charges represent the amounts by which the carrying values of the asset groups exceeded their estimated fair values, and were recorded as general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The fair values of the impaired asset groups were estimated using discounted cash flow models (income approach) based on market participant assumptions, including the expected downtime prior to the commencement of future subleases, projected sublease income over the remaining lease periods, and discount rates to reflect the level of risk associated with receiving future cash flows. These assumptions are classified within Level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of the impaired asset groups are not material. Other Contractual Commitments—Other contractual commitments relate mainly to third-party cloud infrastructure agreements and subscription arrangements used to facilitate the Company’s operations at the enterprise level. During the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2026. and through the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company amended an existing three-year agreement with a third-party AI service provider that began in December 2025 to support the Company’s AI products. Under the amended agreement, the Company has committed to spend an additional $190 million for the first contract year, increasing the total minimum purchase commitment over the three-year contract term ending November 2028 to $390 million. As of July 31, 2026, the total remaining minimum purchase commitment was $270 million. Services accessed through certain public cloud providers may be applied toward the Company’s contractual spend commitments under this amended agreement. The Company is required to pay the difference if it fails to meet the minimum spend for any contract year. In June 2026, the Company amended an existing third-party cloud infrastructure agreement that provides for a total purchase commitment of $6.0 billion over a five-year contract term ending March 2031. Under the amended agreement, the Company has committed to utilize incremental exabytes of storage at certain contracted rates over a 10-year contract term that extends the term for such storage from March 2031 to May 2036. The incremental exabytes of storage may be subject to adjustments based on our actual usage. The Company estimates the aggregate minimum purchase obligation for the incremental exabytes of storage to be approximately $58 million as of July 31, 2026. 401(k) Plan—The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan covering all eligible U.S. employees. Contributions to the 401(k) plan are discretionary. The Company did not make any matching contributions to the 401(k) plan for each of the three and six months ended July 31, 2026 and 2025. Legal Matters—On March 23, 2021, a former employee filed a charge with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) claiming that he was terminated in retaliation for engaging in concerted activity protected under the National Labor Relations Act. On September 15, 2023, following a hearing before a NLRB administrative law judge, the administrative law judge issued his ruling in favor of the former employee and ordered that he be awarded certain compensatory and other damages. The Company is appealing the ruling to the Board of the NLRB. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that a loss could ultimately result from an unfavorable outcome and that an estimate of the potential range of loss is between zero and $25 million, plus interest. No material loss accrual was recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of each of July 31, 2026 and January 31, 2026, because management believes the likelihood of material loss resulting from this charge is not probable given the further appellate proceedings that are due to take place. On February 29, 2024, a stockholder class action lawsuit was filed against the Company, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, and the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging violations under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. On April 7, 2025, the lead plaintiff filed a second amended complaint seeking an unspecified amount of damages, attorneys’ fees, expert fees, and other costs. After the Court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the second amended complaint and granted the lead plaintiff leave to file a third amended complaint, the lead plaintiff filed its third amended complaint on April 14, 2026. The Company filed its motion to dismiss the third amended complaint on June 3, 2026. As of September 3, 2026, the parties were awaiting the Court’s ruling on the Company’s motion to dismiss the third amended complaint. In addition, since the filing of the class action lawsuit, five additional complaints containing securities derivative claims have been filed in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware, United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and United States District Court for the Northern District of California, respectively, against the Company and certain of the Company’s directors and executive officers alleging similar violations. The derivative claims have been stayed pending resolution of the motion to dismiss the third amended complaint. The Company is unable to estimate any reasonably possible loss, or range of loss, with respect to these matters at this time. The Company and the other defendants intend to vigorously defend against the claims in these actions. On June 13, 2024, a class action was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Montana against the Company alleging that the Company failed to take reasonable measures to secure systems that contained consumer data, thereby allowing threat actors to access and exfiltrate personally identifiable information. In the months that followed, numerous additional class actions making the same or similar allegations were filed in the United States and Canada against the Company and/or customers whose consumer or employee data was exfiltrated. Among other claims, the complaints assert common law claims for negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of implied contract, and unjust enrichment, as well as statutory claims, and seek an unspecified amount of damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, as well as injunctive relief. On October 4, 2024, an order was issued by the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation combining the class actions filed in the United States into a multidistrict litigation in the District of Montana. On February 3, 2025, plaintiffs filed their representative complaint on behalf of the consumer plaintiffs. On February 14, 2025, the Court created a separate financial institution track to represent the interests of certain financial institutions (FI Plaintiffs) and an FI Plaintiff representative complaint was subsequently filed. On May 20, 2025, the plaintiffs filed an amended representative complaint on behalf of the consumer plaintiffs that asserted additional claims regarding the breach of a Snowflake customer account containing personally identifiable information from the Los Angeles Unified School District. On October 28 and 29, 2025, the Court denied the Company’s motions to dismiss the claims of the consumer plaintiffs and FI Plaintiffs. On December 19, 2025 the Company filed its answers to the complaints and the matter is currently in discovery. In addition to the multidistrict litigation, a class action is pending in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. The Company is unable to estimate any reasonably possible loss, or range of loss, with respect to these matters at this time. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims in these actions. On November 21, 2025, a class action lawsuit was filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Montana alleging copyright infringement on behalf of a putative class of individuals and entities that own a United States copyright in any work that was allegedly copied, stored, or used without authorization to train the Company’s large language model. The complaint seeks an award of statutory and other damages, attorneys’ fees, and all appropriate legal and equitable relief. On January 22, 2026, the Company filed its answer to the complaint and the matter is currently in discovery. The Company is unable to estimate any reasonably possible loss, or range of loss, with respect to this matter at this time. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the claims in this action. On February 24, 2026, a stockholder class action lawsuit was filed against the Company, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, and the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging violations under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages, attorneys’ fees, and other costs. On June 1, 2026, the Court appointed a lead plaintiff. On July 23, 2026, the Court granted the parties’ stipulation to consolidate a related securities class action filed on May 22, 2026 into this action and terminated the related action. On August 14, 2026, the lead plaintiff filed its amended complaint. The Company’s motion to dismiss is due October 13, 2026. In addition, on June 29, 2026, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed against the Company and certain of the Company’s directors and executive officers in the same court alleging violations of securities laws and other common law claims, the allegations in which track those in this action. On September 1, 2026, the parties filed a stipulation with the Court requesting that the derivative action be stayed in its entirety pending the final resolution of the class action. The Company is unable to estimate any reasonably possible loss, or range of loss, with respect to this matter at this time. The Company and the other defendants intend to vigorously defend against the claims in these actions. In addition, the Company is involved from time to time in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the ultimate outcome of these matters, the Company believes that none of its current legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Letters of Credit—As of July 31, 2026, the Company had a total of $32.8 million in cash collateralized letters of credit outstanding, in favor of certain landlords for the Company’s leased facilities and a certain employee-related benefit. These letters of credit renew annually and expire at various dates through fiscal 2039. Indemnification—The Company enters into indemnification provisions under agreements with other parties in the ordinary course of business, including business partners, investors, contractors, customers, and the Company’s officers, non-employee directors, and certain employees. The Company has agreed to indemnify and defend the indemnified party for claims and related losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party from actual or threatened third-party claims due to the Company’s activities or non-compliance with certain representations and warranties made by the Company. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential loss under these indemnification provisions due to the Company’s limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular provision. For each of the three and six months ended July 31, 2026 and 2025, losses recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in connection with the indemnification provisions, where the Company is an indemnifying party, were not material.
