About the role

To usher in this new era, we seek AI-native thinkers across every function who are energized by the opportunity to reinvent how they work.
You don't just use tools; you possess an innate curiosity, treating AI as a high-trust collaborator that is core to how you solve problems and accelerate your impact.
At Snowflake, your role isn't just to execute a function, but to help redefine the future of how work gets done.

Responsibilities

Design and develop core security infrastructure spanning secret management, key management, service identity, and end-to-end encryption across a natively multi-cloud environment
Design and implement extensible, plug-and-play platform components that enable first-, second-, and third-party security detectors, responders, and visualizations to be built on top of Snowflake's Trust Center
Partner with engineering teams across the company to understand security pain points and deliver solutions that reduce friction without compromising safety
Lead the design and enforcement of secure network architectures to actively defend against ransomware attacks and detect sophisticated data exfiltration attempts.
Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and on-call rotations; hold a high bar for code quality, reliability, and sound technical decisions
5+ years of industry experience designing, building, and operating large-scale distributed systems in production cloud environments
Strong foundational computer science skills - data structures, algorithms, systems design, and distributed computing
A collaborative, low-ego approach to engineering - comfortable iterating quickly and working across PM, design, and peer engineering teams

Requirements

Proficiency in one or more of Java, C++, Python, Golang, or Rust, with solid SQL skills for data-driven features
Experience with database internals, query engines, or data platform systems

Company info

the security, identity, infrastructure, and customer trust layers of one of the fastest-growing data platforms in the world.
You won't be maintaining someone else's security layer; you'll be defining it.
These are teams that value craft, curiosity, and collaboration, and that take pride in making complex security invisible to the developers and customers who depend on it.
If you want a role where your technical decisions matter and your growth is tied directly to the scale of the platform you're protecting - and you're energized by the challenge of securing the agentic era before it fully arrives - this is it.
Snowflake is growing fast, and we're scaling our team to help enable and accelerate our growth.
We are looking for people who share our values, challenge ordinary thinking, and push the pace of innovation while building a future for themselves and Snowflake.
