Sr. Manager, Cloud Infrastructure Engineering

For this role, we are looking for someone to lead the infrastructure engineering effort for Saviynt's Platforms team.

We seek a self-starter who will drive projects to achieve results and meaningful outcomes.

You should be respected as a thought leader, able to influence, persuade and direct sound technical and architectural choices across many teams.

You will need to demonstrate executive presence, represent technical direction and architectures to everyone from new grads to C-level executives and do more than talk – you will build and own critical services and deliver them to production.

This is an operations-heavy role – your team will manage a significant subset of all compute infrastructure at Saviynt and the leader will need significant operational experience in a high-scale, cloud-based, high-reliability, and always-on operational environment.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Lead the Infrastructure Engineering team, which provides compute as a service via managed Kubernetes, as well as a unified and integrated API gateway. This team manages hundreds of K8s clusters across multiple cloud providers.

Define the long-term strategy for Infrastructure Engineering, including new areas for greenfield exploration such as Infrastructure Resource Lifecycle Management, and managed-DBs as a service, including deployment pipelines and observability.

Speak at industry events, representing Saviynt's Developer Platforms group and our strategy for approaching Developer Experience and Platform Engineering.

Act as a liaison to client and partner engineering teams to share the Developer Platforms mission, vision and roadmap

Gather input on client needs and proposed integration points with technical services which are delivered by our partner organizations

Inspire and encourage our internal customer teams to contribute to Developer Platforms via an internal open source and open contribution model

Review and provide feedback on features, technology, architecture, designs, time & budget estimates, and test strategies

Manage projects risks & engage in creative problem solving

Develop and evolve engineering and business processes to optimize team efficiency

Partner with other teams across Saviynt on achieving common goals
