We’re ecstatic you’ve decided to join the team and help build the future of cloud data.

This page will help you cut through the noise and take necessary action.
2026 Benefits Guide
Confirm you’re eligible to enroll before you begin—regular employees and interns working at least 20 hours per week are eligible to enroll in our benefits. Learn more about benefits eligibility.
New hire coverage begins on your date of hire if you enroll within 31 days of becoming eligible. If you miss the enrollment deadline, you’ll need to wait until the next Open Enrollment (the one time each year you can make changes to your benefits for any reason).
The sooner you enroll, the sooner your benefits will be active. Generally speaking, if you enroll in benefits by 10:00 p.m. PT on your first Tuesday, your benefits will be active by Friday evening. Once your benefits are active, you can access your ID cards and member information online. Please find each carrier’s website or app on our contacts page. Kaiser enrollments can take up to 7 days to process. If you need to seek care before your benefits are active, contact a benefit advocate at snowflake@alliant.com.
401 (k) Plan: New employees are eligible to participate as of the first day of employment. If you do not take any action to enroll within the first 31 days of employment, you will automatically be enrolled with a 5% pre-tax contribution rate. You can adjust your contribution rate at any time on the Fidelity website or by calling Fidelity.
You’re smart—you know that making informed decisions requires… information! Take a little time to explore this website, or read through our benefits guide. Either one will get you caught up to speed with everything you need to know about your benefits. To help you make personalized decisions on your benefit elections, we encourage you to spend some time with ALEX….
Our benefits decision support tool. Answer some simple questions, and alex will help guide you toward making the best decisions for your situation.
