Software Engineer at SailPoint

As a Senior Software Engineer at SailPoint, you will be at the forefront of powering intelligent identity decisions across modern enterprise environments. In your day-to-day work, you will design, build, and deploy robust full-stack microservices for the Policy Engine-a mission-critical system delivering real-time and batch decision evaluations for cutting-edge initiatives like the SailPoint Agentic Fabric. You will rapidly prototype solutions, hone product requirements with cross-functional partners, and build performant, maintainable software using modern technologies including Golang and Angular. Embracing modern AI-assisted and agentic development workflows, you will actively apply the latest engineering techniques to deliver high-impact security capabilities at global scale.

About the team

You will join the UK Platform Engineering team, a highly collaborative group responsible for architecting, building, and running core platform services. The team consists of talented engineers passionate about crafting resilient distributed systems and end-to-end features. While we enjoy the flexibility of remote work, we stay closely connected through regular collaboration and gather in person once per quarter for an energizing one- to two-day team offsite.
