From the start, our mission has been clear: to help organizations secure innovation in the cloud, the right way.\nWe 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.\nCulture 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.\nIf 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.\nWhat you will do\nDrive 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.\nBuild 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.\nMake 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.\nBuild the AI and agent-triggered automations (approvals, spend alerts, agent-initiated workflows); general business automation stays with IT.\nOwn 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.\nDefine 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.\nBuild the governance that standard requires. Route workflows by data sensitivity, enforce least privilege and auditability, and keep unproven models sandboxed away from production data.\nDrive alignment across IT, Security, and DevX on the platform's direction - get multiple teams building against a written standard without owning their roadmaps.\nWhat you will bring with you\n6+ years in software engineering, platform engineering, or DevOps, including ownership of something in production that others depended on.\nHands-on AWS - IAM, ECS or Lambda, CloudWatch, and working VPC knowledge. Required, not a bonus.\nFull-stack range - backend services, APIs, CI/CD, containerized deployments.\nBuilder - you can write an MCP server or API integration from scratch, not just wire up a managed connector.\nHands-on with LLMs - comfortable with LLM APIs, prompt engineering, and agent development; you've shipped something with them.\nSelf-direction - you can take an underspecified task and figure out the ambiguous parts to create impactful solutions.\nWhat we look for\nA bias to ship, and to automate the thing you just did by hand.\nWillingness to own the boring parts: upgrades, credentials, quotas, on-call reality.\nCandor: you raise problems and disagreements early, including when a platform choice looks wrong.\nJudgment about when to buy instead of build. We would rather run a small, coherent stack than a perfect, sprawling one.\nWhen you join Sysdig, you can expect\nExtra days off to prioritize your well-being\n401(k) Retirement Savings Plan with a 3% company match\nMaternity and Parental Leave\nMental health support for you and your family through the Modern Health app\nFull health benefits package for you and your family","description_format":"text","description_chars":4152,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Parental leave","Retirement plans"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cloud Security","DevSecOps","Security Operations"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T18:59:09Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 7 · green card filings: 5","filings_12m":7,"filings_prev_12m":19,"green_card_filings_12m":5,"median_offered_wage_usd":179583,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":4}],"liveness":{"score":44,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.729,"p_room":0.6,"age_days":62,"expected_fill_days":64,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:late","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/sysdig-ai-platform-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/sysdig-ai-platform-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-03T21:30:08Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":742,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-04T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":34889},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=34889"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsysdig-ai-platform-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsysdig-ai-platform-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsysdig-ai-platform-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/sysdig-ai-platform-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsysdig-ai-platform-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":762707}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"sysdig.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":762707},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
