There is only one Data Cloud. Snowflake’s founders started from scratch and designed a data platform built for the cloud that is effective, affordable, and accessible to all data users. But it didn’t stop there. They engineered Snowflake to power the Data Cloud, where thousands of organizations unlock the value of their data with near-unlimited scale, concurrency, and performance. This is our vision: a world with endless insights to tackle the challenges and opportunities of today and reveal the possibilities of tomorrow.

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 critical to customer trust and maintaining Snowflake’s performance, reliability, and security.

• Design and implement features to provide identity and access management including integration with the next generation identity providers and protocols.
• Build authorization frameworks to provide fine grained access control, including data centric access control, beyond standard role-based access control which can scale to managing access over millions of objects and users.
• Design and develop solutions for secure data sharing and access delegation in a globally distributed service.

AS A SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER - IDENTITY & ACCESS MANAGEMENT, YOU HAVE: 

• 8+ years of industry experience designing, building, and supporting large-scale distributed systems in production, with recent experience in building large scale cloud services.

• Experience with database systems and database internals, such as query engines and optimizers are a big plus. 
• Extremely strong fundamental computer science skills.
• Strong development skills in Java or C++ preferred.
• Advanced degree in Computer Science or related degree.
