Our Team:

System of Record is Technology Infrastructure’s (TI) single source of asset identity, configuration, and relationship data. What we build is trusted as a core tool used for change management, inventory management, risk analysis and production support. Our work is a crucial component in TI’s automation and self-service provisioning goals. Systems that need data about TI assets depend on us for information and are able to code against our single interface to discover a rich view of the entire estate.

On any given day we are leveraging open source technologies to accomplish our mission and working with modern tools such as Kubernetes, Golang and microservices to tackle complex problems.

We’ll trust you to solve problems like how to efficiently handle unpredictable user request behavior, achieve low latency response times in the face of complex data joins, and model data from seemingly disjoint sets.
