Staff Software Engineer

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).
