Software Engineer - Trust Center

About the role

The Trust Center team builds a trust and risk management platform to empower Snowflake customers to monitor, identify, achieve, and maintain strong security, governance, privacy and compliance posture and allow for effective and simple risk management within Snowflake.

• Leverage industry-accredited benchmarks (e.g., CIS — Center for Internet Security) to develop opinionated, standards-based security posture assessments for Snowflake customers
• Contribute to behavioral analytics pipelines and PII attribution capabilities that help detect, prevent, and respond to threats and abuse vectors
• Build and maintain compliance reporting, vulnerability patching transparency, and access transparency tooling that customers rely on for their own security programs
• Support and extend a developer ecosystem that spans Snowflake, end customers, and external third-party developers — including integrations with Snowflake's Marketplace
• Apply AI-assisted development practices and maintain a full-stack mindset, using frontier tooling to move faster and build more resilient software

• Contributions to developer platforms, SDKs, or multi-tenant extensibility frameworks
