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).
