We are hiring a Senior Security Engineer, dedicated to Product Security Incident Response. In this role, you will lead and architect Snowflake's product-integrated Incident Response strategy, with a primary focus on AI and LLM security. You'll design, plan, and drive the implementation of incident response capabilities across Snowflake's AI product surface - including Cortex AI, Cortex Agents, Snowflake Intelligence, and the data pipelines that power them. AS A SENIOR SECURITY ENGINEER, AI INCIDENT RESPONSE AT SNOWFLAKE, YOU WILL: • Lead incident response for product-level security events, with deep focus on AI-specific threat vectors including prompt injection, model abuse, agent hijacking, and data exfiltration through AI workloads. • Integrate IR into AI product pipelines - work directly with teams shipping Cortex features, Snowflake Intelligence, and AI-powered developer experiences to embed security requirements from design through deployment. • Develop and codify our AI abuse response strategy - defining detection, containment, and remediation playbooks for LLM misuse, adversarial inputs, and AI-assisted attacks targeting Snowflake customers. • Address tech debt across the AI product stack, ensuring that new Cortex and agentic architectures meet IR readiness requirements from the ground up. • Represent the IR team to cloud engineering, AI platform teams, corporate security, and customer-facing business units. • Secure modern AI-native codebases operating across multi-cloud environments - including container-based inference services, RAG pipelines, vector stores, and agent orchestration layers. • Partner with world-class AI and security engineering teams, providing expert guidance on secure architecture for high-impact AI features and customer-facing AI capabilities. • Design and manage response capabilities built into Snowflake's AI operational infrastructure - from model serving endpoints to Cortex Search indexes and Snowpark ML pipelines. • Lead with data, code, and automation - build tooling that accelerates detection and response for product security incidents at Snowflake scale. • Drive meaningful security outcomes for the customers and enterprises trusting Snowflake with their most sensitive data and AI workloads. OUR IDEAL SENIOR SECURITY ENGINEER WILL HAVE: • 5+ years of experience in information security, primarily in incident response, security engineering, or product/application security (preferred). • Direct experience serving as incident commander for product focused security incidents. • Experience leading or actively building an application or security engineering program, with a clear point of view on securing AI/ML systems. • Experience with threat modeling and security testing across AI attack surfaces, including prompt injection, indirect injection, model inversion, embedding extraction, and supply chain attacks on AI dependencies. • Familiarity with the unique data governance and security challenges introduced by LLMs, RAG architectures, and agentic systems. • Working knowledge of cloud-native environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and the threat landscape specific to SaaS and AI platforms. • SQL proficiency, plus experience building automation and tools with common programming languages (Python preferred). • Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate security risk into actionable guidance for product teams. • Empathy for developer experience, helping AI engineers ship securely rather than slowing them down. • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience. BONUS POINTS FOR THE FOLLOWING: • Experience securing AI/ML infrastructure, including model serving, vector databases, embedding pipelines, API gateways, and LLM-integrated application architectures. • Experience building agentic incident response capabilities, including skills, agents, and pipelines. • Understanding of current attacker TTPs, including emerging AI-specific techniques such as adversarial ML, agent manipulation, and LLM jailbreaking in enterprise contexts. • Familiarity with CI/CD and secure release lifecycle patterns, with an emphasis on building security into AI feature pipelines. • Preferred certifications: GCIA, GCIH, GCSA, GDAT, CISSP/GISP, or cloud certifications (AWS, Azure, GCP). This is a chance to do incident response at the frontier of AI security, on products that thousands of enterprises rely on. You will work alongside strong AI and security engineering teams, shape how Snowflake responds to novel LLM and agentic threats, and build the tooling and playbooks that define response for AI-native systems. The work is high-impact and highly visible, with direct influence on the trust customers place in Snowflake's AI capabilities. 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. How do you want to make your impact?
