In a typical day, you will write high-performance Golang code, develop robust full-stack features using Angular on the frontend, and implement resilient microservices deployed on AWS. You will collaborate closely with distributed team members, partner with data scientists on AI-driven features, and optimize distributed cloud architectures for low-millisecond latency. About the team You will join one of our UK Platform Engineering teams dedicated to designing, building, and operating core services for SailPoint's Identity Security Cloud. We are a collaborative group of backend and UI specialists transitioning to full-stack feature ownership. We value knowledge sharing, high code quality, and regular collaboration, meeting in person once per quarter for a one- to two-day team offsite. Roadmap for success 30 days: * Complete SailPoint engineering onboarding, configure your development environment, and obtain repository access. * Review architectural documentation for the Identity Graph and policy engine to understand domain concepts and platform standards. * Shadow teammates during sprint ceremonies, design discussions, and code reviews. * Deliver and merge your first Golang pull request with comprehensive unit tests. 60 days: * Build and deploy your first end-to-end microservice feature within the policy engine. * Write robust unit and integration tests adhering to platform code coverage standards. * Participate actively in peer code reviews, offering actionable feedback. * Familiarize yourself with monitoring dashboards, alerting systems, and on-call runbooks. 6 months: * Independently deliver scalable, full-stack platform features using Golang and Angular. * Partner with the Data Science team to integrate AI-related features into policy decision workflows. * Join the primary 24x7 on-call rotation (approximately one week in 20) to support platform availability and reliability. * Identify and implement automated CI/CD pipeline improvements to accelerate release cycles. 1 year: * Lead technical design and implementation for high-throughput, low-latency microservices handling millions of identity access requests. * Mentor team members and champion engineering best practices across microservices architecture and cloud infrastructure. * Drive performance tuning initiatives across distributed cloud databases such as DynamoDB, Aurora, or Snowflake. * Contribute to architectural roadmaps and technical strategy for core platform initiatives. * ## Related Videos - [The Road to MLOps: How Verivox Transitioned to AWS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1050-the-road-to-mlops-how-verivox-transitioned-to-aws) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Developing the Backend with Stefan Lingler, CTO at Shpock](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100360-developing-the-backend-with-stefan-lingler-cto-at-shpock) - [Navigating the Corporate Jungle: Life as a Developer in a large Company](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/621-navigating-the-corporate-jungle-life-as-a-developer-in-a-large-company) - [Our GitOps approach for deploying an Identity Provider and an API Gateway in a SaaS company](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/776-our-gitops-approach-for-deploying-an-identity-provider-and-an-api-gateway-in-a-saas-company) - [Meet Your New BFF: Backend to Frontend without the Duct Tape](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/682-meet-your-new-bff-backend-to-frontend-without-the-duct-tape) ## Related Articles - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Software Engineer Salary London](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/252-software-engineer-salary-london) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Fullstack Developer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/251-fullstack-developer-salary-uk)
