Why This Role Matters
Saviynt’s platform is mission-critical for our customers. As we scale globally, reliability, availability, and performance are not optional—they are core product features.

This is a high-impact, hands-on engineering role with broad influence across infrastructure, platform, and application teams. You will shape how Saviynt designs, operates, and measures reliability at scale.
This role is ideal for engineers who want to work on hard reliability problems, influence architecture across teams, and leave a lasting mark on a growing SaaS platform.
 
 

What You Will Do: In this pivotal role, you will be instrumental in designing, building, and maintaining the shared infrastructure services and platforms that our product and application teams will depend on • You will focus on creating reusable, reliable, and scalable solutions that abstract away complexity, enabling other teams to focus on their core business logic and deliver features faster in a multi-cloud environment • Design and build core platform components and shared infrastructure services that other development teams will integrate with and leverage to deploy and operate their applications • Architect, implement, and manage highly available and scalable Kubernetes platforms as a service for internal consumers • Develop robust, internal-facing tools and automation for infrastructure provisioning and management primarily using Go (Golang) • Architect and optimize foundational solutions within Cloud environments (AWS, Azure, etc.), focusing on creating reusable patterns and modules for other teams • Design and implement shared Event-Driven Architecture components and messaging platforms using technologies like Kafka or Google Pub/Sub that product teams can easily utilize • Develop and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab CI and ArgoCD) as a service, providing standardized and automated deployment workflows for various development teams • Design and build resilient Distributed Systems components that serve as building blocks for other applications, focusing on reliability, fault tolerance, and performance • Manage and optimize our shared infrastructure across Multi-Region Cloud Environments, ensuring that platform services are globally available and performant for all consumers • Establish and enhance centralized Observability and Monitoring platforms and tools that provide self-service insights for consuming teams • Define and implement clear, well-documented RESTful API designs for the infrastructure services you build, ensuring ease of integration for internal clients • Implement and manage Service Mesh (e.g., Envoy, Istio) capabilities, providing traffic management, security, and policy enforcement as a shared platform for services • Design, implement, and optimize highly available Relational Database services or shared data platforms for broad organizational use • Collaborate closely with product development teams to understand their infrastructure needs and pain points, providing technical guidance and support • Participate in on-call rotations to support the critical shared infrastructure you build
