Sr Staff Software Development Engineer

BeyondTrust, Remote Canada +1

The role

BeyondTrust is seeking a Senior Staff Software Development Engineer to set the technical direction for NHI Governance. NHI Governance is the Pathfinder Insights module that discovers, assesses, and remediates non-human identities — service principals, IAM users, access keys and secrets, workload identities, and AI agents — across Microsoft Entra ID, AWS, and on-premise environments. The system spans .NET 10 services over PostgreSQL; an inventory pipeline fed from governed Databricks lakehouse views; durable Temporal workflows (Python workers, a .NET gateway, protobuf contracts) that onboard, rotate, reduce access for, and decommission live customer credentials, with custody in BeyondTrust Password Safe and storage adapters for AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, and HashiCorp Vault; and Angular micro-frontends in the Insights console.

What you need

What You’ll Bring

Deep expertise architecting and operating large-scale, multi-tenant, distributed cloud services, with a track record of owning architecture across multiple teams or an entire domain.
Expert in C#/.NET, plus working proficiency in Python — our Temporal workers and every activity that touches a credential are Python. (Equivalent depth in another typed backend language is fine if you can lead a .NET codebase.)
Production experience with durable or long-running workflow orchestration (e.g., Temporal, AWS Step Functions, Durable Functions) and event-driven systems (e.g., Kafka) — idempotency, retries, compensation, and workflow versioning.
Hands-on experience building or operating systems that create, rotate, or revoke credentials — cloud access keys, service principals and app registrations, certificates, or vault-held secrets — and a sound instinct for blast radius.
PAM or vault platform integration experience: managed accounts, rotation plugins, functional accounts. BeyondTrust Password Safe a plus.
AWS at design level: you have designed how services obtain identity and secrets in production across multiple accounts and environments — least-privilege IAM, workload identity (e.g., IRSA or OIDC federation) instead of long-lived keys, Secrets Manager and KMS, and infrastructure as code (Terraform/Terragrunt).
Azure at working level: Microsoft Entra ID app registrations and service principals, Microsoft Graph permissions and admin consent, managed identities, and Key Vault.
Experience defining and versioning API and schema contracts (OpenAPI, protobuf) consumed by multiple teams.
Production familiarity with Kubernetes (EKS preferred) and GitOps delivery.
Excellent communication; able to influence technical direction across teams and with leadership.
Comfortable working in an AI-assisted codebase and setting the standard for how AI-generated code is reviewed — especially changes that touch permissions.

Who You Are

A technical authority who takes ownership of the hardest problems and delivers scalable, safe solutions.
A force multiplier who elevates the engineers and teams around you.
Someone who balances technical excellence with pragmatic decision-making, ensuring security without unnecessary complexity.
A strong communicator and influencer across technical and business audiences.

Better Together

Diversity. Inclusion. They’re more than just words for us. They are the guiding values of how we build our teams, cultivate leaders, and create a culture where people feel connected.

We take care of our employees so they can take care of our customers. Customers who come from all walks of life just like us. We hire incredible people from diverse backgrounds because when we are different together, we are stronger together.
