  • Strong Java/Spring Boot expertise; solid fundamentals in distributed systems and scalable API design.
  • Experience with event-driven systems (Kafka/JMS), caching (Redis/Memcached), and RDBMS (Oracle preferred).
  • Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, and CI/CD.
  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science (or related field).

Strongly Preferred Domain Experience (Any 2+)

  • PKI/CLM (X.509, CSR workflows, CA integrations, CRL/OCSP, HSM-backed signing)
  • ACME v2 / cert-manager
  • SPIFFE/SPIRE and workload identity models
  • Cloud managed identity (AWS/Azure/GCP) and OIDC federation
  • Service mesh & mTLS
  • Kubernetes controllers/operators and CRDs
  • NHI and AI-agent security concepts and platforms

Nice to Have
