To make every cloud deployment secure and reliable.
Role
Who you are
- You will bring your expertise to the team, and you will be exposed to other, perhaps less familiar, aspects of technology, working (and growing) alongside the other team mate to achieve the team's goals
- We are looking for people who have technical expertise in:
- Software architecture & coding best practices
- Skill in Go programming language (with 2+ years of dev experience) from design to debugging
- Experience with Kubernetes (general concepts on how it work, deploy application using helm charts)
- Experience in building automation to improve efficiency and quality of deliverable (e.g.: building pipeline with GH Actions or Jenkins, creating CLI tools)
- Eagerness to be part of our company and its culture (see our company principles https://sysdig.com/about/#canvas-10 )
- An appetite for problem solving. Whether an issue be in the components you own or with other aspects of the environment, having the grit to dig deeper to understand the problem is crucial
- Being a team player (e.g.: suggest on how to organize/improve workflows, know how to having meaningful discussions, mentor other team members)
- Experience of working in a remote and distributed team (strong written communication skills)
- Experience working in mid/large size projects in a dynamic (that doesn't mean chaotic!) environment
Desirable
- Experience developing and maintaining Kubernetes Operators
- Experience with public cloud vendors (e.g.: AWS, GKE, Azure)
- Experience in Infrastructure as Code (e.g.: terraform, AWS CDK)
- Experience in host installation tools (e.g.: Ansible, Puppet, Chef)
- Experience in build system (e.g.: CMake, Bazel, Buck)
- Involvement in open source projects (see https://sysdig.com/opensource/)
What the job involves
- You will be part of the "Agent - Install & Tools" team; we work in many domains, moving from software development to building pieces of infrastructure... and gluing them together with automation!
- You can get a sneak peek of the goals we have as a team (and some of the projects that help us to achieve them):
- Develop & maintain mechanisms to provide our customers a top-notch experience when it comes to adopting and installing our components both in cloud native and host environments (e.g. Ansible roles/playbooks, Kubernetes operators, Helm charts, etc.)
- Design and implement a packaging and distribution framework that every other team in the company will use as a building block to ship their host side components (aka “agents”) to our customers
- Take care of developers' experience for the Agent Team by creating or adopting new tools to orchestrate development environments, managing and improving the CI infrastructures, creating tools to automate processes, etc
- Assist internal and external customers with component installation or configuration issues, and use this information to create a feedback loop for improvement
- Incorporate inputs from our Product team and customers to streamline the lifecycle management of our products
- As part of the team, you will be involved in one or more of them!
Our take
As the use of containers and Kubernetes applications rise, enterprises implementing cloud apps face new security problems. These problems have created huge demand for security companies like Sysdig, which offers an open-source platform that manages security risks as companies run these modern cloud-based systems.
As well as its competitors, which include Dome9, Datadog, and Orca Security, Sysdig has enjoyed a surge in business, as more companies have had to adopt dynamic digital security solutions to enable remote working. Whilst much of its revenue comes from the US market, in recent years, it has expanded its footprint across the Middle East and Asia.
Having secured unicorn status in 2021, Sysdig remains a big player in the rapidly-growing public cloud market, with a list of impressive enterprise clients using its solutions including IBM, Goldman Sachs, Worldpay, ActiVision, and Booking.com.
