Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree or equivalent experience in CS, Engineering or related field.
• 8+ years building and operating production software with ownership of a service with availability expectations.
• Strong hands-on engineering in Python, Java, Go or similar across the full stack of a cloud service.

Responsibilities

• Build key and certificate inventory, lifecycle tracking, and the interfaces that make them usable.
• Instrument it with telemetry, audit evidence, and policy-based authorization for sensitive material.
• Own signing flows end to end: API and CLI surfaces and the customer experience on top of them.
• Support post-quantum in production signing: ML-DSA dual signing on HSM-backed keys, LMS software keys, and hybrid flows.
• Build the agent-assisted paths that let customers help themselves, and supervise where a human must stay in the loop.
• Measure deflection rate, time to first signature, onboarding time; if it does not move a number, it did not work.
