• Implement a pluggable key‑management layer supporting cloud KMS providers, bring-your-own-key models, envelope encryption, and per-client cryptographic isolation
• Build and enforce fine-grained capability grants for individual clients, workflows, operations, and service-to-service requests
• Own GitOps-based deployment pipelines for versioned workflow definitions across isolated client environments
• Develop onboarding automation for identity provisioning, compliance configuration, and client-specific key‑management setup
• Build secure connector services for third‑party APIs, including scoped access, platform-managed credentials, request validation, and audit logging
• Improve platform observability, reliability, failure recovery, security, and operational readiness while supporting production incident response

Required Qualifications

• Experience building and operating production backend services using Go or Rust
• Experience designing event-driven systems using Kafka or similar technologies, including retries, idempotency, replay, and at‑least‑once delivery
• Experience implementing authentication and authorization using OAuth 2.0, OIDC, token lifecycle management, or fine‑grained access controls
• Experience implementing encryption or key‑management solutions using cloud KMS platforms, envelope encryption, or key‑hierarchy designs
• Experience operating multi‑tenant production systems using structured logging, metrics, distributed tracing, and incident‑response practices

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Temporal or another durable workflow orchestration platform
• Experience integrating identity platforms such as Zitadel, Keycloak, Auth0, Okta, or similar technologies
• Experience with ClickHouse or another columnar, append‑only, or audit‑focused data store
• Experience with GitOps, CI/CD, Kubernetes, or infrastructure‑as‑code deployment practices
• Experience integrating MSP, PSA, RMM, security, or Microsoft 365 platform APIs
