We are hiring a Software Engineer for our SCII (Secret, Cryptographic and Identity Infrastructure) team. SCII builds the foundational security systems that empower every Snowflake engineer to deliver the most secure Data Cloud to our customers - solving the hardest security problems at scale so the rest of the organization doesnt have to. SCII also owns the area of End-to-end encryption (E2EE), to secure customer data that prevents third parties from reading the data while at-rest or in transit to and from Snowflake and to minimize the attack surface. **AS A SOFTWARE ENGINEER AT SNOWFLAKE, YOU WILL:** - Design, develop, and scale software systems that help Snowflake engineers build secure products across a natively multi-cloud environment. - Build and maintain security tooling to define, monitor, enforce, and detect security policy violations across the platform. - Implement automation and self-service processes that increase developer autonomy and educate engineering teams on secure design and coding practices. - Contribute to the architecture and evolution of core security infrastructure - spanning secret management, key management, service identity, authentication, and authorization. - Partner with engineering teams across the company to understand security pain points and deliver solutions that reduce friction without compromising on safety. - Write well-tested, reliable code and participate in design reviews, code reviews, and on-call rotations to keep critical systems healthy. **OUR IDEAL SOFTWARE ENGINEER WILL HAVE:** - A Bachelors degree in Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience. - Hands-on experience in software development using one or more of: JavaScript, Java, Python, C, C++, Golang, or Rust. - Strong interpersonal and communication skills - the ability to collaborate across teams and explain technical concepts clearly. - A genuine interest in building software that has direct security and reliability impact at scale. **BONUS POINTS FOR THE FOLLOWING:** - Masters degree or PhD in Computer Science or a related technical field. - Experience designing, building, testing, and maintaining reliable, scalable software solutions. - Familiarity with secure software development lifecycle (SSDLC) or security infrastructure, including secret management systems, service identity, authentication, or authorization. - Experience deploying and operating services on Kubernetes. - Experience building production services on AWS, Azure, or GCP. **WHY JOIN OUR SCII TEAM AT SNOWFLAKE?** The SCII team sits at the intersection of security, customer and infrastructure - a rare vantage point where the work you do directly shapes how thousands of Snowflake engineers build and ship, as well as where you can directly impact the encryption and key management for our customers. You wont be maintaining someone elses security layer; youll be defining it. Whether its rethinking how secrets are managed at enterprise scale, evolving service identity for a hyper-growth multi-cloud platform, or making authorization invisible and reliable, the problems are genuinely hard and the impact is company-wide. This is a team that values craft, curiosity, and collaboration. Youll work alongside engineers who care deeply about the foundations they build and who take pride in making complex security invisible to the developers who depend on it. If you want a role where your technical decisions matter and your growth is tied directly to the scale of the platform youre protecting, this is it. Snowflake is growing fast, and were 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?
