These teams builds the security backbone of Snowflake - enabling customers to confidently bring their most sensitive data and workloads to the Data Cloud, empowering every Snowflake engineer to deliver the most secure platform at scale, and giving customers the tools to monitor, achieve, and maintain a strong security, governance, privacy, and compliance posture. As the agentic era accelerates, these teams are at the forefront of building AI-native security capabilities that protect the world's data. AS A SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER AT SNOWFLAKE, YOU WILL: * Design and implement critical AI security capabilities - including controlled, audited agent workflows, MCP server and client security, agent identity frameworks, and admin guardrails - that form the foundation for secure agentic enterprise adoption * Build and evolve foundational identity and access management systems, including authentication protocols, SSO integrations, multi-factor authentication, OAuth/OIDC, SAML, SCIM, and fine-grained RBAC that scales to millions of objects and users * Design and develop core security infrastructure spanning secret management, key management, service identity, and end-to-end encryption across a natively multi-cloud environment * Build and maintain security tooling to define, monitor, enforce, and detect policy violations across the platform; implement automation and self-service processes that increase developer autonomy and promote secure-by-default engineering * 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 * Leverage industry-accredited benchmarks (e.g., CIS) to develop standards-based security posture assessments; contribute to behavioral analytics pipelines and PII attribution capabilities that help detect, prevent, and respond to threats and abuse vectors * 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 ## Related Videos - [Keeping applications secure by evolving OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100152-keeping-applications-secure-by-evolving-oauth-2-0-and-openid-connect) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [How building an industry DBMS differs from building a research one](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/768-how-building-an-industry-dbms-differs-from-building-a-research-one) - [Get started with securing your cloud-native Java microservices applications](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/123-get-started-with-securing-your-cloud-native-java-microservices-applications) - [Delay the AI Overlords: How OAuth and OpenFGA Can Keep Your AI Agents from Going Rogue](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1637-delay-the-ai-overlords-how-oauth-and-openfga-can-keep-your-ai-agents-from-going-rogue) - [From Messy Queries to Scalable Systems - How Data Engineering actually works](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100203-from-messy-queries-to-scalable-systems-how-data-engineering-actually-works) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [How Much Does a Software Engineer Make?
