Key skills for this role
Join the engineering team responsible for ensuring the reliability, availability, and operational excellence of the Idira Identity Security Management platform (formerly CyberArk), supporting Identity Security Administration (ISA), Secure Infrastructure Access (SIA), Privilege Cloud (pCloud), and Tenant Management (TM).
As a Senior Staff Escalation Engineer, you will investigate the platform's most complex production issues, partnering directly with global R&D teams to identify root causes, drive product improvements, and enhance platform reliability.
You will own technical investigations from initial escalation through engineering resolution, collaborating closely with software engineers to diagnose software defects, improve product quality, and strengthen platform resiliency.
This is a hands-on software engineering role - not a traditional support position.
Success requires the ability to think like a software engineer while approaching production issues with the curiosity of an investigator.
As the engineering escalation point between Technical Support and global R&D, you will help resolve the platform's most technically challenging production issues while influencing product quality, improving operational processes, and helping Engineering build more reliable cloud services.
