Staff Software Engineer

Location: Pune, India

This role is based in Pune. This location works on a hybrid model, 2-3 days in the office. You will be required to interview in person.

About SailPoint:
SailPoint is defining the next era of identity security. Our unified, AI-powered platform seamlessly secures both the Human Fabric of your workforce and the Agentic Fabric of AI and non-human identities, completely eliminating organizational blind spots.

Built on core principles like zero-standing privilege and contextualized risk, our platform transforms identity from a vulnerability into a strategic business advantage. Today, we are trusted by some of the largest, most complex organizations in the world to deliver intelligent, autonomous identity security at scale.

About the Role:
As a Senior Software Engineer focused on Technical Partner Integrations, you will spearhead technical exploration, rapid prototyping, and proof-of-concept (POC) integrations with strategic technology partners such as AWS, Google, Snowflake, Anthropic, and OpenAI. In this role, you will bridge product strategy and engineering execution by rapidly building, testing, and validating integrations to determine what should be productized into core SailPoint solutions.

You will explore modern agentic workflows and AI-driven platforms, designing flexible integration templates and ensuring all prototypes adhere to SailPoint's engineering architecture and AWS platform standards. When a POC demonstrates high customer value, you will lead the technical transition to core product engineering teams for full-scale development and GA launch.

About the Team:
You will join the Product Acceleration Team, working closely with Product Management and technical partner leads while maintaining strong alignment with SailPoint's India engineering organization. Our team is fast-paced, collaborative, and innovation-focused, operating at the intersection of emerging AI technology, ecosystem partnerships, and enterprise identity security. You will work closely with a US based team, so therefore need to be available to work 4-5 overlapping US hours each working day.

Roadmap for Success:

30 Days

• Complete SailPoint onboarding and familiarize yourself with our core architecture, AWS platform stack, and development workflows.

• Gain a deep understanding of SailPoint's agentic identity security capabilities, integration framework, and current partner roadmap.

• Establish relationships with Product Management, Technology Partnership leaders, and core engineering counterparts in Pune.

60 Days

• Build, deploy, and evaluate your first partner integration POC in a sandbox environment.

• Establish standard templates, documentation, and evaluation criteria for validating partner technical feasibility and product viability.

• Actively engage in technical discovery discussions with strategic technology partners.

90 Days

• Deliver end-to-end prototypes for 2-3 priority partner integrations (such as cloud data or AI platform partners).

• Establish a streamlined handoff process to package successful POCs, architecture diagrams, and code artifacts for core engineering teams.

• Present technical findings and product recommendations to product and engineering leadership.

6 Months

• Lead technical architecture and development for complex, multi-party integrations involving agentic AI and non-human identity frameworks.

• Serve as the primary technical authority for partner integration feasibility across high-priority partner ecosystems.

• Successfully transition at least one major integration prototype into core product engineering for formal productization.

1 Year

• Define the long-term technical blueprint and framework for rapid partner integration prototyping at SailPoint.

• Expand SailPoint's ecosystem reach by continuously identifying, testing, and onboarding next-generation technology integrations.

• Mentor team members and drive best practices for partner engineering, API design, and integration testing across the organization.

Requirements:

• Bachelors degree in related field, or equivalent professional experience.

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience designing, building, and deploying scalable distributed systems and RESTful APIs.

• Demonstrated hands-on experience building third-party SaaS, cloud, or developer platform integrations.

• Strong proficiency in modern programming languages such as Java, Python, or Go.

• Solid experience with AWS cloud infrastructure, microservices architecture, and modern DevOps/CI/CD pipelines.

• Familiarity with agentic workflows, AI/LLM integration patterns, and data platforms (e.g., Snowflake, Google Cloud Platform, OpenAI/Anthropic APIs).

• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills, with the ability to translate partner technical capabilities into product requirements.

• Strong problem-solving abilities and comfort working in an ambiguous, fast-paced prototyping environment.

• Be open to working 4-5 overlapping US hours each working day

AI-assisted engineering:

Our engineers are expected to use AI development tools as a core part of their daily workflow, not as a novelty. We expect you to use these tools to accelerate delivery, expand your scope, and raise the quality bar, while applying strong engineering judgment to review, validate, and own everything that ships under your name. Comfort with prompting, agentic workflows, and human-in-the-loop review of AI-generated code is a baseline expectation for this role.

AI related Technology:

• Cursor, Claude Code

• Python-based AI/ML frameworks and libraries such as scikit-learn, pandas, and numpy

• Deep Learning Frameworks such as PyTorch

• LLMs and Foundation Models in Bedrock, VertexAI, or similar
