About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Develop and deploy detections using modern engineering practices (testing/validation, CI/CD pipelines, detections as code, detection development lifecycle, etc.), including both rules-based and AI-assisted detections
  • Mature our threat detection program by analyzing gaps and mitigating risks via detective controls, including experimentation with AI/ML approaches where they improve signal-to-noise ratio or analyst efficiency
  • Build and maintain strong partnerships with our stakeholders to provide detection as a service, including self-service patterns, reusable components, and AI-enhanced detections that support their domains
  • Continuously measure and improve detection quality (coverage, precision/recall, false positive rate, latency)

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • Security Engineering Experience (Threat Detection, Incident Response, Threat Hunting, Product Security, Corporate Security, or other related disciplines)
  • Solid experience writing code (Python, Go, etc.), with a desire to apply these skills to AI/ML-powered use cases in detection and response
  • Experience collaborating with various security teams and stakeholders
  • Ability to review and analyze logging and observability requirements that support detection and response
  • A risk-based approach to security to help prioritize key security initiatives and determine when AI provides meaningful value over traditional rules and heuristics
  • Knowledge of the current security landscape with domain knowledge in several of: cloud security, identity and access, SaaS security, endpoint security, data security, and insider risk
  • An automation-first mindset for scaling security, including comfort with CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and “detections as code.”
  • A humble, team-oriented engineer who prioritizes team success in a zero-ego environment
  • Experience with development in a high-level programming language (Go, Python, etc.)
  • Experience handling data programmatically (SQL, Python, etc.)
  • Experience writing production code including unit tests, version control, and CI/CD integration
  • Experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP) and understanding of its native logging, monitoring, and security services
  • Familiarity with the risks that impact SaaS products and workstations

Benefits

Comp & perks
  • We are laser focused on doing security in the agentic era, and we do not tolerate the status quo
  • We have strong demand from our customers and strong support from the business for security, giving us both mandate and runway to invest in next-generation, AI-driven detection and response capabilities
  • We are a great team with a diverse set of backgrounds and skills and we are excited to add engineers who want to push the frontier of AI in security
  • You want to be part of a team solving Security Threat Detection at a global scale, leveraging Snowflake’s own data platform and AI capabilities to build detections and workflows that meaningfully raise the bar for defenders
