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.
We are hiring a Security Incident Response Engineer to join our Incident Response team. You will help redefine how incidents are handled at scale, pairing autonomous AI agents with human judgment so that we can detect, investigate, and contain threats faster across a rapidly growing cloud and AI footprint.

Deep familiarity with AI/LLM tooling, security copilots, and AI-driven telemetry to accelerate investigations, threat triage, and post-incident reporting
Knowledge of securing frontier AI infrastructure, including model training and serving pipelines and AI agent permissions
Proven ability to detect and respond to modern AI-driven attacks
Proficiency in Python to build automated orchestration pipelines, reduce manual incident response toil, and programmatically enrich security alerts
Expert-level understanding of cloud security architectures (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and container runtime isolation (Docker, Kubernetes)
Ability to translate incident findings and root-cause analysis into short-term tactical fixes and long-term security engineering objectives
Ability to perform static and dynamic malware analysis using sandbox environments and modern AI-assisted reverse engineering tools
BONUS POINTS FOR THE FOLLOWING:
Experience with threat hunting or building detection-as-code programs
Experience running sensitive investigations alongside Legal and HR, such as insider risk cases
Familiarity with large-scale data platforms and using them to analyze security telemetry
Contributions to open-source security tooling, detection rules, or the broader security community
Industry certifications such as GCIH, GCFA, or GREM
WHY JOIN OUR INCIDENT RESPONSE TEAM AT SNOWFLAKE?
This is an opportunity to shape what incident response looks like in the agentic era. You will work on the front line of defending one of the world's most important data platforms, building the AI-driven workflows that let a team of experts respond with the speed and precision that modern threats demand.
