What you need

What you’ll bring

Strong professional experience building and operating production backend services and improving their reliability, performance, and maintainability..
Experience designing and implementing RESTful and/or gRPC APIs.
Deep understanding of distributed-systems principles, including consistency, concurrency, fault tolerance, networking, and service-to-service communication.
Fluency in Go, Java, C++ or Python; willingness to work primarily in Go.
Experience with relational or distributed data stores, asynchronous processing, and service integration patterns.
Strong testing practices, including unit, integration, contract, load, and failure-mode testing as appropriate.
Ability to communicate technical decisions clearly in design documents, reviews, and cross-functional discussions.
Sound judgment when working with sensitive data, trust boundaries, authorization decisions, and security-sensitive failure modes.

Experience in one or more of the following areas is helpful but not required

Designing or building authorization systems at scale, including policy evaluation, permissions, tenant isolation, or least-privilege access.
Encryption, key management systems, cloud key management services, HSMs, or KMIP.
OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, workload identity, federation, or related identity protocols.
SCIM, enterprise identity integrations, SSO, or lifecycle management.
SRE and reliability practices, including incident response, error budgets, capacity planning, and operational readiness.

Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, infrastructure as code, or platform engineering.
Building security products for enterprise, regulated, or otherwise security-sensitive customers.
Integrating SaaS or cloud services with customer-managed on-premises infrastructure, private clouds, public clouds, and enterprise security products.

What success looks like

In your first three months, you will develop a deep understanding of the team’s systems and customers, and contribute to production services. You will take ownership of meaningful technical problems and improve the clarity, reliability, and operational readiness of the services you support.

Over time, you will deliver secure and dependable capabilities, influence architecture beyond your immediate area, improve API and service reliability, and help the team scale its engineering practices as the Security Products portfolio grows.

Why join Security Products?

Build foundational security capabilities for an AI-native cloud platform.
Solve challenging problems at the intersection of security, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and customer experience.
Work on services where correctness, reliability, and thoughtful security design matter every day.
