Company mission
To provide intelligent, cloud-first identity governance & access management solutions that enable organizations to achieve Zero-Trust security.
Role
Who you are
- 12+ years in software engineering including backend: Java/Spring or Node.js, REST, microservices, and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Frontend experience: React, TypeScript, CSS, UI component libraries, accessibility, and emerging micro-frontend architecture (preferred)
- Cloud platforms experience (AWS, Azure, or GCP), DevOps, observability, CI/CD pipelines
- Prior involvement with AI/ML systems, ideally including autonomous or agentic behavior design, prompt engineering, reinforcement learning, or rule-based reasoning systems
- Comfortable balancing reactive and proactive systems and integrating human-in-the-loop control and transparency
- Leadership & Domain Knowledge
- Proven record leading engineering teams—planning, mentoring, delivering complex enterprise solutions
- Excellent communication and consensus-building skills; able to explain sophisticated AI behavior clearly
- Proactive, customer-centric mindset: able to ask “what could this agent do next?” rather than simply “what did the user ask?”
- Familiarity with Identity Governance & Administration (IGA), Privileged Access Management (PAM), or Connector frameworks is a strong plus
- Soft Skills & Qualifications
- Adaptability in fast-paced, changing environments
- Keen attention to ethical and responsible AI practices, especially around autonomy and security
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in CS, Engineering, or equivalent experience
What the job involves
- Lead requirements analysis, software architecture, and design for full-stack systems infused with agentic AI components
- Develop scalable, secure cloud-native (AWS/Azure/GCP) services combining REST/microservices, modern frontend frameworks, and AI-driven decision logic
- Implement autonomous modules capable of planning, proactive actuation, and continuous learning
- Integrate explainability, feedback loops, and safe-guard mechanisms into agentic behaviors
- Drive best practices in coding standards, code reviews, automated testing, CI/CD, and DevOps workflows
- Mentor and lead engineers in building trustworthy, agentic systems while championing Agile/Scrum methodologies
- Collaborate cross-functionally to align AI behaviors with security, privacy, UX, and compliance goals
- Document development lifecycle, maintain existing services, and originate new agentic capabilities
Our take
Sayvint’s Identity Governance and Administration platform helps secure access to corporate systems in the cloud such as Workday, Office 365, AWS, Salesforce, SAP and Hadoop. It was created to offer an innovative, modern solution as its founder believed that existing identity services were not optimized.
By spending its early years in stealth mode, developing its product technology and switching to a cloud based model, the company was well prepared for a quick up-scale. This has been achieved partly because of the fact that it favours targeting large companies, boasting clients like Marriott, BP, KuppingerCole and Toyota Connected.
Sayvint faces a major rival in the form of SailPoint, which was an earlier entrant in the space, and went public sooner. However, Sayvint is growing rapidly and has converted some notable customers from SailPoint in the process. The company has continually invested in its platform to maintain a competitive edge, earning industry recognition along the way, and has recently concentrated on securing new customers and growing its partner ecosystem.
