Bitwarden is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join its India Engineering Center of Excellence, focusing on the Secrets Manager platform. In this role, you will lead the development of a dedicated secrets engine, machine-to-machine (M2M) authorization protocols, and developer-focused CLI/SDKs. You'll play a pivotal role in designing core infrastructure for Bitwarden's next-generation AI Identity and Access management platform, with a focus on securing credentials and API keys against custody risks posed by autonomous AI agents and headless workloads.
You will operate as a "T-shaped" professional, owning services end-to-end from design and secure development through automated testing, deployment, and production operations. Working within an "Embedded Trio" model (Product, Design, Engineering), you'll collaborate to design and ship elegant, secure, and resilient code.
Key responsibilities include: designing and building high-performance APIs, SDKs, and CLIs for Secrets Manager; implementing secure, zero-knowledge machine authentication and scoped access tokens; working within a decoupled platform architecture to ensure Secrets Manager operates as a highly scalable, independent tenant; owning automated testing, deployment pipelines, and production SRE health; building developer-friendly API endpoints and comprehensive documentation; and proactively threat-modeling services to maintain strict compliance standards.
You bring 3-6 years of software engineering experience with strong proficiency in Rust, C#/.NET, or TypeScript. You have practical experience designing or integrating machine identity platforms, vaulting services, OAuth/OIDC, or token-based authorization structures. You're curious about AI agent security, LLM memory isolation, and sandboxed execution environments. You're comfortable writing robust automated tests, maintaining containerized environments (Docker/Kubernetes), and using modern APM and SRE logging tools. You have solid cryptographic foundations and excellent communication skills with a passion for open-source software and developer tooling.
