Job description

SailPoint is the leader in identity security for the cloud enterprise. Our identity security solutions secure and enable thousands of companies worldwide, giving our customers unmatched visibility into the entirety of their digital workforce, ensuring workers have the right access to do their job – no more, no less. Built on a foundation of AI and ML, our Identity Security Cloud Platform delivers the right level of access to the right identities and resources at the right time—matching the scale, velocity, and changing needs of today’s cloud-oriented, modern enterprise.

About the Role

Additionally, you will support our core database and streaming platforms in production and participate in the team's on-call rotation.

About the Team

You will join the Core Data Infrastructure team. We are responsible for running, maintaining, and scaling the critical data stores, distributed databases, and messaging systems that power our global Identity Security Cloud platform. Our technical ecosystem includes PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, Elasticsearch, DynamoDB, and Kafka. We are a highly collaborative, globally distributed group of engineers who believe that high-quality professional engineering should empower individuals to make a real impact. This dedicated automation role is designed to systematically eliminate manual toil, allowing the engineering team to focus on solving complex, novel data challenges.

Roadmap for Success

30 Days

Complete your engineering onboarding, gain a solid conceptual understanding of our cloud-native event-driven microservices architecture, and begin shadowing on-call engineers.

You will identify your first high-frequency manual runbook candidate for automated remediation.

60 Days

Design, build, and deploy your first event-driven automation into our production environment using Python/TypeScript and AWS. You will also begin fully participating in the team's production on-call rotation.

6 Months

Codify at least three major operational runbooks into safe, self-service or auto-triggered systems. You will establish shared deployment patterns and lead the team in utilizing LLM-augmented development tools like Cursor and Claude with proper code-review guardrails.

1 Year

Own the automation roadmap for the Data Infrastructure team, leading to a measurable 50% reduction in repetitive operational tasks. You will partner closely with SRE, Security, and product teams to champion event-driven, self-healing systems across our cloud environment.

Requirements

• Bachelors degree in related field, or equivalent professional experience
• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with meaningful time spent building or operating production systems at a SaaS or cloud service provider
• Experience in 24x7 production operations for a highly available SaaS or cloud environment, including on-call responsibilities
• Deep hands-on experience with AWS cloud infrastructure, especially Lambda, EventBridge, IAM, CloudWatch, and CloudTrail
• Experience deploying, operating, and troubleshooting databases and distributed data stores in production (such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, Elasticsearch, DynamoDB, or Kafka)
• Experience designing event-driven architectures and monitoring-triggered automation rather than just scheduled scripts
• Solid working knowledge of Kubernetes in production, including deployments, RBAC, controllers, and safe operational actions
• Experience with Prometheus and alert-driven workflows (Alertmanager, webhook consumers, or equivalent)
• Strong security instincts, including least-privilege IAM design, secrets handling, and blast-radius reasoning
• Track record of building for auditability, including structured logs, correlation IDs, and immutable change records
• Demonstrated use of LLM-augmented development tools such as Cursor and Claude, with a point of view on how to review their output responsibly
• CI/CD experience (such as GitHub Actions or Jenkins) and comfort owning the pipeline for your services
• Strong understanding of systems, networking, and distributed systems troubleshooting
• Strong written communication, with the ability to turn complex operational incidents into clear runbooks and code
• Ability to operate autonomously across time zones and collaborate with a globaly distributed team

Preferred Skills

• Experience replacing manual toil at scale with a measurable reduction in alerts, tickets, or MTTR
• Background in SRE, DevOps, or platform engineering for a large multi-tenant SaaS environment
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and GitOps patterns
• Experience with data pipeline tooling (such as Apache Airflow) and streaming platforms (Kafka)
