WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Platform & Feature Development: Design, build, and maintain high-performance APIs, SDKs, and CLIs for Secrets Manager and our future AI Identity and Access security frameworks.
- Machine & AI Identity Custody: Implement secure, zero-knowledge machine authentication, scoped access tokens, and runtime secrets injection gateways that protect credentials from being exposed to parent AI models or local execution environments.
- Decoupled Architecture: Work within our Decoupled Platform Architecture to ensure Secrets Manager operates as a highly scalable, independent tenant using its own dedicated data stores and asynchronous event-driven message networks.
- End-to-End Ownership: Own the automated testing, deployment pipelines, and production SRE health of your team's services, participating in on-call rotations and postmortem analyses to drive continuous operational improvement.
- Developer Usability: Build usable, highly developer-friendly API endpoints, integration libraries, and comprehensive technical documentation to lower the friction of secrets enrollment and machine onboarding.
- Security & Compliance: Proactively threat-model new services, remediate security vulnerabilities, and ensure our secrets engine maintains our strict, audited compliance standards .
WHAT YOU BRING
Overall Experience: 3-6 years in Software Engineering
Technical Stack: Strong proficiency and experience in AI-Led Development in Rust, C# / .NET, or TypeScript (our core Secrets Manager SDK is built in Rust).
Identity & Secrets Management: Practical experience designing or integrating machine identity platforms, vaulting services, OAuth/OIDC, or token-based authorization structures (e.g., JWT, access tokens, API keys).
AI/Agent Security Interest: Curiosity or experience with the security implications of AI agent architectures, large language model (LLM) memory isolation, or sandboxed execution environments.
T-Shaped Engineering Mindset: Experience writing robust automated integration tests, maintaining containerized environments (Docker/Kubernetes), and using modern APM and SRE logging tools (e.g., Azure Monitor, Grafana) to monitor services in production.
Cryptographic Foundations: Solid grasp of symmetric/asymmetric encryption, zero-knowledge protocols, and OS-level secure storage APIs.
Collaborative Mindset: Excitement to work in a high-velocity, outcome-driven environment using rapid prototyping and data-driven prioritization.
Open Source & Communication: Excellent written communication and a strong passion for open-source software, developer tooling, and modern internet security.
