## About the Role

* 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
 * Proficiency in one or more of Java, C++, Python, Golang, or Rust, with solid SQL skills for data-driven features
 * Experience shipping and on-calling production services with a focus on availability, reliability, and observability
 * A collaborative, low-ego approach to engineering - comfortable iterating quickly and working across PM, design, and peer engineering teams
 * BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience, * Knowledge of identity and access management concepts and protocols - SAML, SCIM, OAuth, OIDC, Federation, MFA, or RBAC
 * Familiarity with security infrastructure domains such as secret management, key management, service identity, authentication, or authorization
 * Experience with database internals, query engines, or data platform systems
 * Exposure to machine learning or AI systems, particularly applied to anomaly detection, behavioral analytics, or risk classification
 * Contributions to developer platforms, SDKs, or multi-tenant extensibility frameworks
 * Experience deploying and operating services on Kubernetes or production cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)

## Description

* 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
