About the team
You’ll be joining the newly formed Privileged Endpoint team, which is building an Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM) product. EPM is used by company IT admins to control what applications and processes end users can run on their work devices. It does this by allowing or blocking each action based on company policy. The product will contain a set of cloud-based microservices with a UI where IT admins can create the rules for this company policy.
The team is fully remote, UK-based, and, as a small team, you will be a key contributor.
The role
In a typical day you’ll be leading the implementation of the backend of the cloud-based services for the new product. This will include implementing logic for the API endpoints in Golang, such as operations on EPM policy information, EPM audit data, and logs. You’ll also work on the cloud-based storage mechanisms for EPM to store and process large amounts of policy and audit data.
You’ll work closely with the rest of the EPM team so that the cloud backend is able to communicate with users’ work devices via HTTPS, and with teams working on existing microservices in the wider SailPoint Identity Security Cloud (ISC) platform to integrate EPM functionality into the wider product.
In 90 days, you’ll be on-boarded and starting to lead the implementation of the cloud backend.
In 6 months, you’ll be operating with a high degree of autonomy in several areas, such as the microservices, cloud storage, and Kafka streams.
In 1 year, you’ll be the Subject Matter Expert on EPM cloud and able to run projects as the team grows.
