Entersekt is a global leader in our domain, so we set the bar high.

The Role

You will help deliver features for an Entersekt component team that builds solutions involving GSM channel and identity proofing components for authentication. The solution will run in a secure, high-availability Kubernetes environment in the cloud. Standby support is required for this role.

• Cloud and Kubernetes management: Implement and maintain services in cloud-based environments using Kubernetes, Docker, and Helm to ensure secure, efficient, and highly available deployments.
• Collaborate in Agile teams: Participate in Agile ceremonies and work closely with cross-functional teams to deliver features in line with Entersekt’s fast-paced and iterative development processes.
• Mentor and guide junior engineers: Support the team lead in mentoring junior engineers, providing code reviews, guidance, and sharing best practices.
• Standby support: Be part of the on-call rotation for production systems, providing support and ensuring the smooth running of the authentication solutions you help build.
• Performance tuning and testing: Ensure the performance and reliability of the systems by implementing thorough unit and performance tests.
• Follow engineering best practices: Apply architectural design patterns, SOLID principles, and other best practices in software engineering, contributing to the overall quality and maintainability of the codebase.
• Stay current with technology trends: Keep up-to-date with the latest developments in cloud, security, and distributed system technologies, applying this knowledge to improve Entersekt’s offerings.

Skills and Experience

Successful candidates for this role will generally possess the following qualifications and skills:

• 4+ years’ experience with object-oriented development in Java.
• Experience with Golang is advantageous.
• A proven track record of delivering high-quality software into production.
• Knowledge of unit testing and performance testing.
• Experience with container technologies like Kubernetes, Docker, and Helm.
• An understanding of, and experience in, OO and architectural design patterns.

• Experience working in an Agile environment and with Agile development methodologies like Scrum.
• Knowledge of cryptography and PKI.
• A software/engineering qualification (for example, a computer science degree) is preferred.
