Principal Engineer, Cloud Architecture
About us and the role
Saviynt is the most innovative cloud identity and access governance platform on the market. We secure hundreds of millions of identities at many of the world’s largest enterprises, helping them transform their identity programs and protect their people, assets, and infrastructure. We are growing aggressively and need senior cloud architects to help us scale our infrastructure. As a Principal Engineer in the Cloud Architecture team, you will be an integral member of a small, high-performance/high-impact team responsible for compute, data storage and pipelines, and network architecture. You are a hands-on technical leader writing design docs and code. Successfully scaling our infrastructure requires not only making smart technical design decisions but empowering our engineers to build upon and operate it.
We need you to
Understand and deeply focus on the real-world benefits your systems and products will have on our customers. No ivory tower architecture
Be driven by and have bias toward autonomy. You’ll be given context on the problems we’re trying to solve, but you’ll need to figure out how to solve them on your own
Be driven by and have a bias toward execution. You’ll need to employ excellent judgement, communicate your decisions clearly and widely, and be accountable for the results
Be invested in the long-term view. While we need to deliver value this quarter, we need to avoid technical debt and other forms of unnecessary complications will serve us poorly in the future
Possess engineering breadth and depth. We need generalists, but you also need to be deeply skilled in one or more areas of network, data storage, data pipelines, compute, or software delivery
