About the role

Senior Software Engineer for Snowflake's Cloud Security team focused on building platforms and pipelines to reduce security risk across 600+ million assets and three cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP), with AI-augmented posture analysis.

Responsibilities

  • 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.
  • Own security workstreams end to end and raise the engineering bar through design reviews, mentorship, and technical guidance for the team.
  • Bring software engineering best practices to security work: documentation, testing, and observability, because a control you can't test, monitor, or reason about isn't a control.

Qualifications

  • 5+ years of software engineering experience preferred, or equivalent experience.
  • Experience designing and owning secure, large-scale systems, with working knowledge of secure architecture principles and threat modeling.
  • A passion for developer experience: making security the default rather than a restriction.
  • Experience building software in one or more languages such as Java, C++, Go, or Python.
  • Familiarity with distributed architectures and building scalable APIs (e.g., gRPC, REST).
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills across engineering and cross-functional stakeholders.
  • A commitment to data-driven, scalable decision-making that holds up over time.
