Job description

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 Security Engineer for our Enterprise Security team. Threats facing modern organizations are changing fast, driven by AI, cloud complexity, and a growing attack surface. Enterprise Security protects Snowflake, our employees, and our customers by building and running endpoint security at enterprise scale. That covers endpoints and identities, and also the AI-assisted workflows and intelligent systems the modern enterprise now runs on.

AS A SENIOR SECURITY ENGINEER AT SNOWFLAKE, YOU WILL:

• Deploy, maintain, and scale Snowflake's endpoint security solutions, including EDR, DLP, secure browser, MDM, and AI security tools, across a multi-cloud, multi-SaaS environment, and contribute to architecture decisions as we grow.

• Build automation and tooling with software engineering and AI to reduce toil, improve detection fidelity, and speed up response.

• Monitor security events, investigate incidents, and build detection and prevention controls that protect against endpoint compromise and data exfiltration.

• Run risk and threat analyses on the endpoint fleet, then drive remediation of the vulnerabilities you find through to resolution, applying zero-trust principles to reduce the attack surface.

• Help write and roll out security policies, procedures, and standards for endpoint protection, in line with relevant compliance frameworks.

• Work with Security, Engineering, IT, and Product partners to implement secure practices, and give technical guidance to employees and end users.

• Uphold high standards in threat modeling, detection quality, and incident response, and share knowledge with teammates through reviews and documentation.

OUR IDEAL SENIOR SECURITY ENGINEER WILL HAVE:

• 3+ years of hands‑on experience in information security, such as security engineering, detection, threat intelligence, or incident response, with a focus on endpoint security.

• Proficiency in at least one programming language such as Python, Go, Java, C, C++, or JavaScript, plus experience using AI-assisted development.

• Hands‑on experience deploying and maintaining endpoint security tools (e.g., EDR, DLP, MDM, secure browsers) across Windows, macOS, and Linux.

• Solid understanding of operating systems, network protocols, application platforms, and endpoint security concepts and best practices.

• Experience owning well‑scoped technical projects from design through delivery with limited supervision.

• A bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

BONUS POINTS FOR THE FOLLOWING:

• Experience with AI security solutions or securing AI-assisted workflows.

• Experience with infrastructure from major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure) and enterprise SaaS platforms at scale.

• Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CEH, or Security+.

• Ability to explain security concepts clearly to technical and non-technical audiences.

WHY JOIN OUR ENTERPRISE SECURITY TEAM AT SNOWFLAKE?

Snowflake is one of the fastest-growing enterprise software companies in history, and Enterprise Security is central to protecting the company along with the customers and data that run on it. You'll work with Engineering, IT, and Product teams across a globally distributed, multi-cloud, multi-SaaS environment, building security capabilities at a scale and speed few companies reach, alongside strong engineers you can learn from. If hard problems energize you and you see security as a product discipline as much as a defensive one, Snowflake is where you can build what's next.

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.
