Snowflake is seeking a Senior Software Engineer for the Anti-Abuse team within Security Foundations. This team protects Snowflake and its customers from abuse on the platform by building foundational security primitives across a complex multi-cloud environment to combat fraud, account takeovers, data exfiltration, and AI security threats at scale.
In this role, you will design, build, and scale security-by-default capabilities that protect Snowflake products across a complex multi-cloud environment. You'll develop intelligent security platforms and services that leverage AI/ML and risk scoring to identify, prioritize, and respond to security threats and policy violations. You'll build real-time detection and prevention systems to defend against account compromise, AI abuse, and data exfiltration through adaptive enforcement and granular policy controls.
You'll create security intelligence and monitoring capabilities that detect suspicious account and user activity, generate actionable insights, and enable timely response. You'll partner across Security, Engineering, and Product teams to define security strategy, influence product design, and drive adoption of secure engineering practices. You'll also raise the engineering bar by setting standards for system design, code quality, operational excellence, and scalable security architecture within the Security Foundations organization.
The Anti-Abuse team sits at the intersection of security engineering and platform scale, building foundational capabilities that protect millions of customers across every cloud rather than maintaining legacy point solutions. You'll have real influence over the roadmap and the opportunity to work on some of the hardest adversarial engineering challenges in the industry: fraud, account takeover, data exfiltration, and emerging AI security threats.
Snowflake's culture is built on ownership and collaboration, with every engineer having an equal opportunity to innovate, drive impact, and grow. The company is growing fast and scaling its team to enable and accelerate growth.
