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 Product Security team ensures that Snowflake products are built and shipped with the highest level of security. Our team drives the security posture of Snowflake products and is responsible for embedding security into every stage of the product lifecycle, from design through deployment and beyond. We design and build frameworks, systems and services that keep Snowflake secure. As a Principal Software Engineer II on the Product Security team, you will be the senior technical authority for Product Security and play a critical leadership role in shaping and advancing Snowflake’s security. This is a unique opportunity to define and influence our long-term security strategy and have a direct impact on the security of the Snowflake platform and the trust of our customers.

Everpure (NYSE: P) has evolved from storage pioneer to data platform, closing fiscal 2026 with $3.7 billion in revenue, its first billion-dollar quarter, and accelerating growth into FY27. Our strategic agenda spans the companies defining the next era of technology - hyperscalers, AI labs, the AI hardware supply chain, data platform providers, and the broader AI ecosystem. This type of work—work that changes the world—is what the tech industry was founded on. So, if you're ready to seize the endless opportunities and leave your mark, come join us. THE ROLE Everpure Cloud Azure Native is already live and generally available—we’ve shipped the first version of the service, and we’re now focused on making it better every quarter: expanding use cases, entering new markets, and raising the bar on reliability and developer experience. Our Foundation team owns a Go‑based control‑plane service that orchestrates how customers consume enterprise‑grade block storage natively in Azure. Around it, we work with a modern cloud stack including Temporal and other platform services for workflows, automation, and observability. This is a production cloud service, not an internal tool: the code you write directly shapes how customers deploy, scale, and operate storage in their Azure environments. This is a rare opportunity to work on a core storage service in a major public cloud , in a joint effort between Everpure and Microsoft. You’ll design and evolve APIs and service behavior that sit in the critical path of real workloads, collaborating closely with engineers across both companies. We move fast without breaking customers: clear API contracts, long‑lived interfaces, solid test automation, and CI/CD are part of the job, not side projects. If you want to own services end‑to‑end, solve real distributed systems problems in the public cloud, and see your work reflected directly in how Azure customers use storage, this is the place to do it. WHAT YOU'LL DO Own and evolve a production clo
