The listing
At Sysdig, we believe cloud security isn't a compromise - it's a promise. From the start, our mission has been clear: to help organizations secure innovation in the cloud, the right way.
We created Falco, the open standard for cloud threat detection, and continue to lead the cloud security market with runtime insights, open innovation, and agentic Al. Creators of technology trusted by over 60% of the Fortune 500, Sysdig gives teams the real-time clarity to move fast and defend what matters most.
Culture matters here. We believe diversity fuels stronger ideas, and open dialogue drives sharper decisions. Recognized as a Best Place to Work and one of Deloitte's fastest-growing companies for the past 5 years, we're here to raise the standard for what cloud security and workplace culture should be.
If you have the passion to dig deeper, the desire to challenge convention, and the curiosity to build something better, Sysdig is the right place for you.
What you will do
- Drive the business-side Bedrock runtime and gateway configuration - model access, cost attribution, content-filtering guardrails, model pinning, and quota management, behind an AWS/Okta-SSO'd gateway - co-owned with our DevX lead, who leads the shared-substrate architecture.
- Build and run the MCP fleet - ship, secure, and patch self-hosted and managed MCP servers for business apps and databases, and own the MCP registry. Partner with IT to graduate MCPs into stable, IT-managed assets.
- Make the secure path the easy path without administering identity or devices yourself: author the MDM config payload and the Okta-group-to-IAM mapping that IT pushes and enforces, and specify the desktop client setup and auth flows for non-technical employees.
- Build the AI and agent-triggered automations (approvals, spend alerts, agent-initiated workflows); general business automation stays with IT.
- Own the technical direction for the agent-hosting substrate other teams build on - the design docs and standards, not just the code. There is no existing pattern today; you set it, and other teams adopt it as their default.
- Define what "healthy" and "safe to ship" mean for every agent and MCP server on the platform - the cost, usage, and reliability telemetry (the Bedrock-to-Snowflake pipeline, identity-matched, with threshold alerting), plus a tiered-autonomy model: what stays read-only, what can act, what needs a human in the loop or a rollback path.
- Build the governance that standard requires. Route workflows by data sensitivity, enforce least privilege and auditability, and keep unproven models sandboxed away from production data.
- Drive alignment across IT, Security, and DevX on the platform's direction - get multiple teams building against a written standard without owning their roadmaps.
