At Snowflake, we are powering the era of the agentic enterprise. To usher in this new era, we seek AI-native thinkers across every function who are energized by the opportunity to reinvent how they work. You don’t just use tools; you possess an innate curiosity, treating AI as a high-trust collaborator that is core to how you solve problems and accelerate your impact. We look for low-ego individuals who thrive in dynamic and fast-moving environments and move with an experimental mindset — who rapidly test emerging capabilities to discover simpler, more powerful ways to deliver results. At Snowflake, your role isn't just to execute a function, but to help redefine the future of how work gets done.
The database security identity & access management (IAM) team owns the services, systems, and product features that help our customers confidently bring their most sensitive data and workloads to Snowflake. We build solutions for secure authentication, simple yet granular access control, and safe, flexible data sharing and delegation. This includes features such as user management, multi-factor authentication, federated single sign-on, session and key pair authentication, and access control at all levels of the database (object, row, and column). Our systems are mission critical to customer trust and maintaining Snowflake’s performance, reliability, and security.
