Enterprise identity and security engineering for Sysco's global foodservice operations
Sysco LABS is the innovation arm of Sysco Corporation (Fortune 500, $81B revenue), operating out of Colombo with engineering teams across Sri Lanka, Austin, and Houston. The tech stack reveals a security-first posture: SailPoint IdentityIQ, CyberArk, Microsoft Entra, and ServiceNow anchor identity and access management, complemented by AWS, Azure, and GCP for infrastructure. Hiring is accelerating with a pronounced security and identity specialization (9 open security roles, 13 senior/lead positions), directly mirroring internal pain points around compliance, secure access for 80,000 users, and PAM (Privileged Access Management) implementation across the enterprise.
Notable leadership hires: iOS Technical Lead, Technical Lead
Sysco LABS develops enterprise technology spanning Sysco's entire foodservice ecosystem—from supply chain logistics and warehouse operations to restaurant ordering platforms and customer-facing applications. The team builds full-stack solutions (iOS, Swift, JavaScript, cloud infrastructure) while maintaining the identity, security, and governance standards required for a Fortune 500 global distributor. With over 1,000 employees, the organization balances startup agility with enterprise-scale challenges: managing identity lifecycle for 80,000 users, reducing cyber risk, and integrating technology across rapid M&A activity. Current focus areas include SailPoint customization, PAM solutions deployment, Workday/Azure AD/Salesforce integration, and environment monitoring at global scale.
