Delinea is an identity security platform that enables organizations to govern access across cloud and traditional infrastructure through intelligent, centralized authorization. The company applies AI-powered intelligence and Zero Trust principles to secure human and machine identities.
The JIT Proxy team builds secure, just-in-time access solutions that allow users to access resources—including databases, servers, Kubernetes clusters, and other infrastructure—only when needed and for as long as policy permits, eliminating reliance on standing access and long-lived credentials.
As a Senior Software Engineer on this team, you will design, build, and operate the secure proxy and cloud services powering this product. Your responsibilities include:
- Design, build, test, and maintain highly concurrent services that deliver secure, just-in-time access to customer resources
- Build and extend proxy capabilities across multiple protocols and resource types (SSH, RDP, Kubernetes, databases, and more)
- Develop distributed systems that securely deliver and enforce tenant policy, identity, and resource data across cloud services and customer-deployed proxies
- Build, deploy, and operate cloud services on Kubernetes and Azure, alongside proxy software deployed in customer environments
- Write clean, well-tested software with strong focus on secure networking, reliability, performance, observability, and maintainability
- Work with architects, product managers, and platform teams to define technical approaches and deliver features from design through production
- Diagnose complex connectivity, protocol, security, and performance issues across cloud and customer environments
- Mentor other engineers, contribute to code and design reviews, and improve engineering practices
You will report to the team's engineering manager.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in computer science, software engineering, or related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience building backend, distributed, networking, or systems-level software
- Strong experience with concurrent programming, networking, and network protocols
- Strong understanding of distributed systems, including reliability, failure handling, APIs, and service-to-service communication
- Experience building secure software, including authentication, encryption, credential handling, or other security considerations for networked systems
- Experience with Azure, AWS, or another major cloud provider and cloud-native technologies such as Kubernetes
- Strong problem-solving and communication skills, with ability to navigate complex technical problems and collaborate effectively across teams
- Track record of mentoring other engineers and eagerness to learn new technologies, protocols, and problem domains
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Production software development experience in Go (Golang), particularly concurrent or networked services
- Experience building proxies, gateways, or other networked systems, including implementing or debugging protocols such as SSH, RDP, Kubernetes, or database protocols
- Experience with security and identity technologies, including authentication, secrets management, credential brokering, or policy-as-code and authorization engines such as Cedar
- Experience with observability and event-driven systems using technologies such as OpenTelemetry and message brokers
- Experience shipping software into customer environments, including handling version skew, upgrades, and operational troubleshooting
- Experience with cloud infrastructure and development tooling such as Terraform, Azure DevOps or similar CI/CD systems, and container-based integration testing
- Understanding of Zero Trust architectures, just-in-time and least-privilege access, FIPS compliance, and secure software development practices
