Implement a pluggable secrets-management and KMS abstraction supporting multiple cloud providers, bring-your-own-key models, envelope encryption, and customer-level cryptographic isolation

Build capability-grant enforcement for individual customers, workflows, operations, and service-to-service requests

Own GitOps-based deployment pipelines for versioned workflow definitions across isolated customer environments

Develop onboarding automation for identity provisioning, compliance configuration, and customer-specific key-management setup

Build secure connector services for third-party APIs, including scoped access, managed credentials, request validation, and pre-execution audit logging

Improve platform observability, performance, failure recovery, operational readiness, and production incident response

Required Qualifications

Experience building and operating production backend services using Go or Rust

Experience designing event-driven systems using Kafka or similar technologies, including retries, idempotency, replay, and at-least-once delivery

Experience implementing authentication and authorization using OAuth 2.0, OIDC, token lifecycle management, or fine-grained access controls

Experience implementing encryption or key-management solutions using cloud KMS platforms, envelope encryption, or key-hierarchy designs

Experience operating multi-tenant production systems using structured logging, metrics, distributed tracing, and incident-response practices

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with Temporal or another durable workflow orchestration platform

Experience integrating identity platforms such as Zitadel, Keycloak, Auth0, Okta, or similar technologies

Experience with ClickHouse or another columnar, append-only, or audit-focused data store

Experience with GitOps, CI/CD, Kubernetes, or infrastructure-as-code deployment practices

Experience integrating MSP, PSA, RMM, security, or Microsoft 365 platform APIs

Experience building software for environments subject to SOC 2, HIPAA, CMMC, or similar requirements

Experience developing multi-cloud platform services across AWS, Azure, or GCP
