Back to jobs
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.
Snowflake’s Product Security organization ensures that security is deeply embedded into every stage of the product lifecycle—from design and development through deployment and operation. We build security capabilities that scale with Snowflake’s multi-cloud data platform while empowering engineering teams to move fast and build securely by default.
As a Senior Security Engineer on the Product Security team, you will be a hands-on technical leader who designs, builds, and scales security solutions that protect Snowflake’s products and customers. You will work closely with product and infrastructure engineering teams to influence architecture, automate security controls, and continuously raise the security bar across the platform. This role is ideal for someone who combines deep product security expertise with a strong engineering mindset and empathy for developers.
Design, implement, and evolve security architecture and controls across Snowflake’s products, with a strong focus on secure-by-default systems.
Lead and drive threat modeling, secure design reviews, and security architecture assessments for complex, multi-component systems in a multi-cloud environment.
Build and scale security tooling, automation, and services that increase developer autonomy, detect policy violations, and measurably improve security outcomes.
Partner closely with software engineering, infrastructure, and platform teams to embed security into design, development, and delivery workflows.
Translate security risks into actionable, pragmatic guidance that helps teams build safely without slowing them down.
Influence and mentor engineers within Product Security and across the broader engineering organization.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related technical field or equivalent practical experience.
6+ years of experience in security or software engineering.
Expertise in one or more security areas including AppSec, threat modeling, identity, authentication and authorization, security tooling, and/or secure architecture.
Experience reviewing the design and implementation of distributed, multi-component systems, including those that rely on third-party APIs and services.
Fluency in SQL, Python, Go or other programming languages.
Empathy for developer experience—focusing on enablement over enforcement and providing clear, actionable security guidance.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a track record of influencing cross-functional partners.
Ability to independently drive projects from concept to delivery while aligning with broader security and business goals.
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.
