How do I know whether a specific Sysdig role is remote?
Read the individual posting. The careers page ties remote flexibility to business needs, but most roles currently listed on Sysdig's own job board are posted as remote with a location marked Flexible plus a country, and each listing states whether it is remote or hybrid. A few listings name a city, such as San Francisco or Raleigh, instead.
Does Sysdig publish salary ranges in its job postings?
Yes, for many roles. US postings list a base salary or on-target earnings range, and Italy postings list ranges in euros. Each range carries a note that actual offers may be higher or lower based on work location, job-related experience and education, so the same role can carry different ranges in different US cities.
What benefits does Sysdig highlight?
In the US, medical, dental and vision coverage for employees and their dependents starts on day one, and US postings list a 401(k) with a 3% company match. Outside the US, Sysdig offers benefits based on local markets. Everyone gets access to the Modern Health platform for themselves and their family, extra days off to prioritize well-being, parental leave regardless of gender or path to parenthood, and equity opportunities.
What technical skills do Sysdig's engineering roles ask for?
Expect systems depth. Open source engineering roles ask for C/C++, Golang and Rust plus Linux, eBPF, container and Kubernetes experience. Platform software roles ask for Go or Java with Postgres or another relational database. Customer reliability roles want master-level Kubernetes and Linux skills and working knowledge of Cassandra, Elasticsearch, Postgres and Kafka. Infrastructure work spans AWS, GCP and Azure, managed as infrastructure as code.
What has Sysdig's engineering internship looked like?
A Sysdig blog post by a former engineering intern describes a three-month internship with two mentors, starting with four weeks of onboarding to learn the tech stack: Docker, Kubernetes, Golang and TensorFlow. Check the careers page for whether an internship is currently open.
