As an integral member of SailPoint's Security Architecture and Engineering team, you will take on a challenging and highly impactful role that goes far beyond out-of-the-box vendor capabilities. We are looking for an API-first problem-solver to write the custom code and tool-agnostic middleware necessary to bridge our diverse security stacks. By building these advanced integrations, you will unlock maximum value and next-level security controls from our existing investments, giving you the unique opportunity to directly shape the future of our technical defenses and drive the execution of our overarching security program. You will join a highly capable team of emerging and established talent, collaborating across Security Operations, IT, and Engineering to serve as a technical ambassador for the Cyber organization. We need a builder who naturally embodies SailPoint's 4 I's (Individual, Impact, Innovation, and Integrity) - someone who eagerly embraces complex challenges and acts as a positive, driving force within our thriving work culture. Ultimately, your innovative solutions will not only secure our enterprise but contribute meaningfully to the broader cyber ecosystem., * Develop, test, and maintain robust, scalable custom security tools, middleware, and automation scripts that integrate isolated security platforms (e.g., Identity/Entra ID, MDM/Intune, EDR, SIEM, and SaaS apps) * Utilize API methodologies (REST, GraphQL, Webhooks) to create tool-agnostic data flows, enabling automated enforcement and telemetry sharing across the security stack * Assist in identifying limitations in out-of-the-box vendor capabilities (such as custom mobile application management enforcement or complex access workflows) and contribute to building custom software to close those gaps * Develop and support intuitive user interfaces (UIs) and dashboards for internal security tools, ensuring they are accessible and highly usable for Security Operations and business personnel * Support and help maintain automated deployment pipelines for security controls, incident response playbooks (SOAR), and continuous monitoring workflows * Work with internal stakeholders to understand requirements, translating security policies into automated, code-driven solutions * Ensure custom development follows strict information security, secure coding (SSDLC), and compliance standards (e.g., ISO, NIST, SOX, etc.) ## Related Videos - [Keeping applications secure by evolving OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100152-keeping-applications-secure-by-evolving-oauth-2-0-and-openid-connect) - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [Lessons learned from building a thriving Vue.js SaaS application](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1666-lessons-learned-from-building-a-thriving-vue-js-saas-application) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Securing Your Web Application Pipeline From Intruders](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/53-securing-your-web-application-pipeline-from-intruders) - [Common Mistakes in Vue.js and How to Avoid Them](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/958-common-mistakes-in-vue-js-and-how-to-avoid-them) ## Related Articles - [Events like RSAC Get You CISOs.
