About this role
At Snowflake, we are powering the era of the agentic enterprise. 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. We look for low-ego individuals who thrive in dynamic and fast-moving environments and move with an experimental mindset — who rapidly test emerging capabilities to discover simpler, more powerful ways to deliver results. At Snowflake, your role isn't just to execute a function, but to help redefine the future of how work gets done.
We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer for our Cloud Security team. This team reduces risk to Snowflake at scale through software-defined controls rather than one-off fixes, building the platforms and pipelines that make entire classes of problems go away. You won't just find problems; you'll ship the systems that improve and verify the security posture of Snowflake products across 600+ million assets and three cloud providers (AWS, Azure, and GCP), with a growing focus on using AI to reason over posture data at a scale humans can't.
AS A SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER AT SNOWFLAKE, YOU WILL:
- Build solutions and services that operate, protect, and govern our security posture across 600+ million assets and three clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP).
- Automate security controls across cloud environments, including core primitives: IAM, detection and monitoring, configuration management, and data protection.
- Build real-time security monitoring, logging, and alerting, using Snowflake technologies to make Snowflake more secure.
- Define and maintain security baselines, policies, and standards for public cloud platforms.
- Design and operate continuous, AI-augmented pipelines that ingest posture and telemetry across hundreds of millions of assets, score risk, and automatically surface the highest-impact issues.
