Staff Software Engineer, Platform Cryptography

What you'll do

• Build and operate secure, reliable cryptographic services for regulated environments, including end-to-end Kubernetes service ownership.
• Assess AI/ML applications in crypto and security, such as key-usage anomaly detection and certificate-risk scoring.
• Translate security and compliance requirements into cryptographic frameworks; mentor engineers and advance threat modeling and secure design.

What they ask for

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience building and operating large-scale production applications and services.
• Production-scale proficiency in Java, Go, Python, Node.js, or another strongly typed language; experience with Kubernetes and cloud-native services.
• Experience with APIs and service integrations, SQL and NoSQL databases, and public cloud platforms.
• Working understanding of cryptographic primitives and TLS/PKI, with demonstrated secure coding, threat modeling, vulnerability management, and code review practices.

Nice to have

• Direct experience in cryptography, PKI, key or secrets management, certificate lifecycle systems, HSM/KMS integration, or crypto-agility.
• Hands-on AI/ML exposure, regulated-environment experience, post-quantum cryptography, or a record of mentoring engineers.
