Job description

At Sysdig, we believe cloud security isn't a compromise - it's a promise. From the start, our mission has been clear: to help organizations secure innovation in the cloud, the right way.

We created Falco, the open standard for cloud threat detection, and continue to lead the cloud security market with runtime insights, open innovation, and agentic Al. Creators of technology trusted by over 60% of the Fortune 500, Sysdig gives teams the real-time clarity to move fast and defend what matters most.

Culture matters here. We believe diversity fuels stronger ideas, and open dialogue drives sharper decisions. Recognized as a Best Place to Work and one of Deloitte's fastest-growing companies for the past 5 years, we're here to raise the standard for what cloud security and workplace culture should be.

If you have the passion to dig deeper, the desire to challenge convention, and the curiosity to build something better, Sysdig is the right place for you.

What you will do

• Reporting to the Manager of Engineering, you will design, build and operate the identity and account services — authentication, authorization and user/team directory — that every other Sysdig engineering team depends on
• Build scalable, highly available, distributed and performant platform services used by multiple engineering teams
• Build and maintain the cross-product capabilities the team owns, including automations, analytics system and ticketing integration
• Own and evolve the best-in-class onboarding experience for connecting cloud provider accounts (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI), working closely with Product, Frontend, Design, and QE.
• Participate in an on-call rotation to address any urgent issues

What you will bring with you

• 5+ years of professional working experience as a Software Engineer designing and shipping distributed, highly available services.
• Strong proficiency in Go or Java and hands-on experience with Postgres or another relational database and messaging system (such as NATS).
• Experience with AI coding agents (Claude or others) and a proactive approach to learning how to leverage them to improve workflows.

What we look for

• Ability to move between high-priority projects and tasks in a distributed, remote-first team.
• Experience with SaaS applications and delivering large software projects end-to-end
• Familiarity with Single Sign-On (SSO) integration is a plus.

When you join Sysdig, you can expect

• Extra days off to prioritize your well-being
• Mental health support for you and your family through the Modern Health app
• Great compensation package

The annual compensation range for this full-time position is between €54,000 and €68,000. Actual offers may be higher or lower than this range based on a variety of factors, including your work location, job-related experience and education.
The national collective bargaining agreement (CCNL) applied by Sysdig is CCNL Terziario-Confcommercio.

We would love for you to join us! Please reach out even if your experience doesn't perfectly match the job description. We can always explore other options after starting the conversation. Your background and passion will set you apart, especially if your career path is different.
