Staff Software Engineer, Privileged Access Management (PAM) / Password Manager (PWM) - India

Position Overview

We are seeking a Staff Software Engineer with 12+ years of experience to serve as a technical anchor, system architect, and engineering catalyst for our core platform. In this high-impact role, you will define macro-architectural strategy, author and pitch technical visions to cross-functional leaders, and anchor engineering teams in executing scalable, highly secure microservices. You will blend deep hands-on expertise in .NET, Go, and PAM solutions with strategic leadership in AI-driven development and modern release engineering.

Architectural Leadership & Executive Pitching:

• Architectural Ownership: Own the end-to-end technical vision and architectural decisions for high-throughput, highly available microservices and multi-platform solutions.

• Technical Anchoring: Serve as the primary technical anchor across multiple engineering squads-establishing engineering standards, resolving complex system trade-offs, and mentoring senior engineers.

• Technical Pitches & RFCs: Craft and deliver compelling technical pitches, Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), and RFCs to convince executive leadership, Product, and Infrastructure partners on strategic platform investments.

• Cross-Functional Alignment: Translate complex business objectives into clear, scalable technical roadmaps while balancing velocity, technical debt, and system stability.

Core Systems & Security Engineering

• Platform Development: Architect and write high-performance production code using C#, .NET (ASP.NET Core / ABP Framework), Go, TypeScript, and gRPC.

• Privileged Access Management (PAM): Design and deploy enterprise PAM/IDAM architectures (CyberArk, BeyondTrust, HashiCorp Vault) and SCIM protocol integrations enforcing Zero Trust and Least Privilege principles.

• Multi-Platform Strategy: Collaborate with the cross-functional teams (e.g., data engineering team) to define data architecture strategy across relational (SQL Server, PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (DocumentDB) platforms; across environments and similarly collaborative with the infrastructure teams to have better infrastructure strategy in place that targets towards cost-saving on a long-term basis.

• Problem solving & Troubleshooting: Active participation in the incident management process and contributing PIRs, taking ownership/accountability for a quick turn-around to resolve the incident.

Delivery Automation & AI Strategy:

• CI/CD & Quality Rigor: Champion deployment automation across Origin CI, Kargo, and WoK, ensuring comprehensive unit, functional, Playwright E2E, and Performance, Scalability, and Reliability (PSR) testing.

• AI Framework Governance: Pioneer spec-driven AI development by championing the BMAD framework to standardize, govern, and scale AI-assisted coding (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot) and reusable skill libraries.

Required Qualifications:

• Experience: 12+ years of progressive software development experience, with a proven track record operating as a Staff Engineer, Principal Engineer, or Lead Architect in enterprise product environments.

• Architectural Mastery: Demonstrated history of making company-level architectural decisions, pitching complex technical solutions to non-technical stakeholders, and anchoring multi-team initiatives.

• Core Tech Stack: Advanced proficiency in C#, .NET (ABP framework), Go, gRPC, TypeScript, and database engineering (PostgreSQL / DocumentDB).

• Security & Infrastructure: Hands-on expertise in Privileged Access Management (PAM), SCIM, AWS/GCP cloud platforms, and Kubernetes.

• Testing & Release: Expertise in continuous delivery pipelines, PSR non-functional testing, and automated E2E testing frameworks (Playwright).
