Job Description

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 Data Governance team builds services, systems, and product features to help our customers govern all their data assets through the full lifecycle within Snowflake. We provide fine grained secure data access, data privacy guards, data lineage tracking, and auditability access. We leverage ML techniques across our product offerings to make the lives of Data Stewards easier.

AS A SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER IN DATA GOVERNANCE AT SNOWFLAKE, YOU WILL:

  • Work closely with Product Managers to drive projects from idea formulation to design and implementation

  • Design and build data governance features

  • Solve real business needs at large scale by applying your software engineering and analytical problem solving skills

  • Make trade-offs to design the best system for Snowflake customers' needs

  • Collaborate with engineers across teams to help deliver cross-functional initiatives

OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE:

  • 5+ years of hands-on software engineering experience

  • Fluency in Java required

  • Experience with database fundamentals including working with SQL

  • Systems programming skills including multi-threading, concurrency, etc.

  • Some experience in database security or building data governance systems is a bonus

  • BS in Computer Science or a related field; Masters or PhD preferred

Every Snowflake employee is expected to follow the company’s confidentiality and security standards for handling sensitive data. Snowflake employees must abide by the company’s data security plan as an essential part of their duties. It is every employee's duty to keep customer information secure and confidential.

Snowflake is growing fast, and we’re 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.
