Role summary

Sysdig is seeking a Senior Software Engineer for their Platform team to design, build, and operate identity and account services, including authentication, authorization, and user/team directories. The role involves creating scalable, highly available, distributed, and performant platform services, as well as owning the cross-product capabilities and the onboarding experience for cloud provider accounts (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI). The engineer will participate in an on-call rotation and collaborate with Product, Frontend, Design, and QE teams. Sysdig is a leader in cloud security, known for Falco and agentic AI, and is recognized for its strong culture and growth.

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.
