Staff Software Engineer, Product Security

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 Staff Software Engineer, Product Security for our Security Foundations team. Product security sits at the center of the trust customers place in the Snowflake platform, and this role owns the hard technical problems that keep that trust intact. You will drive security architecture and secure-by-design practices across engineering teams, shaping how new products are built rather than reviewing them after the fact. AS A STAFF SOFTWARE ENGINEER, PRODUCT SECURITY AT SNOWFLAKE, YOU WILL: - Set the technical direction for product security across multiple engineering teams, influencing architecture decisions before code is written - Design and build security-critical services, frameworks, and controls that other engineering teams adopt as defaults - Lead threat modeling and security design reviews for the platform's most complex and high-risk systems - Partner with product and engineering leaders to embed secure-by-design principles into the development lifecycle - Investigate and drive resolution of the highest-severity security issues, then eliminate the underlying class of problem, not just the instance - Mentor senior and mid-level engineers, raising the security engineering bar across the organization - Own initiatives end to end, from problem framing and scop
