We Want You! But Why Join Sysdig?
If you missed it, we recently announced a round of funding that takes Sysdig to a valuation of $2.5bn. This is really exciting for us here at Sysdig, it gives us validation that what we’re doing is seen as the right thing by external investors. They see that our customers are happy, our customers come back, and we continue to grow our customer base. This funding also marks a new push for hiring staff across the entire company. We have very ambitious growth aspirations, but they aren’t just plans with no execution, we will be adding a lot of people across the entire company.
If you’re considering a job at Sysdig, what difference does this mean for you? It’s great we have aspirations, customer validation and funding, but in context to your career, so what? If you are curious about getting into the world of cloud security and cloud-native technologies, then we hope you’ll read on.
Let's start with a story from one of our colleagues who joined us in the sales org in 2021:
Giulio came from a fairly typical Sales Engineering / Presales background, of course he knew how to do it well, but he didn’t really know about cloud-native technologies when he joined.
When Giulio joined, he got introduced to two mentors (one who has been at Sysdig for over a year, another who had recently joined and was fresh through onboarding), both worked on supporting him during his onboarding and continued to coach him as he matured. Using his chosen hardware options, he worked through the curated onboarding guides, learning about both Sysdig and the cloud-native technologies he’ll be working with.
Giulio continues to get support from his mentors, but is now a mentor to others. He continues to learn about new technologies, about new features from Sysdig, and how to improve his own sales strategies. Giulio is one of the most successful Sales Engineers at Sysdig and continues to break records.
Giulio works with another Sales Engineer in his region, but also as part of a wider team. He supports 3 sales executives and works together as part of the team to grow his business. Giulio gets the choice of doing this either remotely, or from a local regional office where he gets the benefits of interacting directly with colleagues, executives and the engineering team.
Giulio has the autonomy to focus on activities which grow his business and pipeline as much as possible, whether this is working at home to focus on customer responses, workshops with customers and colleagues, or speaking at events.
Giulio celebrates everyday wins, both personal and team wins. He works closely with others in the business such as Product Management and Customer Success to make sure he always has the best knowledge to support his customers.
When you join us, you’ll get training, mentorship and team support to become an expert in cloud security and cloud-native technologies, and get support to join us as a leader in this space.
To support your onboarding and growth, you will get:
You’ll be mostly working remotely (check the specifics in the job listing), although we have regional offices around the world you can work from, such as downtown San Francisco CA, Raleigh NC, Milan - Italy, Zaragoza - Spain, Belgrade - Serbia. This means you can choose to spend your time in the office learning, brainstorming and collaborating face to face with colleagues, or have focus time in your own home office (you’ll choose some hardware to make it more comfortable and productive). If you join the sales and marketing team, and where travel is safe, you’ll spend about 50% of your time on the road: visiting customers, attending events or meeting with colleagues.
You’ll buddy up with someone else in your team local to you, but be in a wider group that’s based in your region. For sales folks that means partnering Account Executives, Sales Engineers, Field Marketing, and Channel & Alliances, as well as the regional leaders. For engineering and product teams, this means partnering with local peers, as well as working with other engineers, product managers, product marketing, etc. Other teams have similar partnering plans.
You’ll also be part of the workload planning. For sales teams this includes pipeline generation (promoting content and events to your network), growing your own professional network, and supporting marketing activities & events. For engineers and product management this includes sprint planning, backlog grooming, sizing work and being involved in regular stand-ups, retros and other ceremonies. You’ll also be invited to join our annual Hackathon where you can partner up with colleagues you might normally work with.
If you are a remote worker, in addition to your hardware setup, you will also receive a monthly allowance that can be used for any of the following types of expenses: employee wellness, house cleaning services, home internet, phone expenses, office supplies, or office furniture. You will also have access to shared cloud accounts and managed demo environments.
