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.
