Build the future of the AI Data Cloud. Join the Snowflake team.

There is only one Data Cloud. Snowflake's founders started from scratch and designed a data platform built for the cloud that is effective, affordable, and accessible to all data users. But it didn't stop there. They engineered Snowflake to power the Data Cloud, where thousands of organizations unlock the value of their data with near-unlimited scale, concurrency, and performance. This is our vision: a world with endless insights to tackle the challenges and opportunities of today and reveal the possibilities of tomorrow.

Our Database Platform Security team is dedicated to building best-in-class security solutions for the Snowflake platform. We focus on three key areas:

• Zero Trust/Network Security: We ensure secure access from/to Snowflake to customer environments through features like network policies and private links.

• Lead highly impactful initiatives from idea formulation to design and implementation.

• Innovate, design and build highly available, reliable, and secure distributed services and solutions within the global Snowflake platform.

• Ensure operational readiness of services, leading incident management and mitigation discussions including meeting customer commitments for security, reliability, availability, and performance.
