Senior Principal Software Engineer - Secrets Managment

Job description

Responsibilities Design and build secure backend services that store, manage, rotate, and deliver secrets, keys, certificates, and related sensitive materials. Improve key exchange mechanisms so software services can securely communicate, establish trust, and protect sensitive information in transit and at rest. Make secret rotation safer and more automated, reducing service breakage, manual handling, and unsafe credential storage patterns. Build reliable APIs, tooling, and workflows that help other engineering teams adopt secrets and key-management capabilities with less friction. Improve availability, scalability, monitoring, alerting, and operational safety for security-critical production systems. Lead threat modeling, security reviews, design hardening, and sensitive-data exposure analysis across service boundaries. Partner with application, infrastructure, identity, and security teams to make secret management more consistent across the company. Own production quality through incident response, debugging, operational improvements, resiliency work, and reduction of manual operations. Lead complex projects independently, drive alignment across teams, mentor engineers, and raise the engineering bar for security-sensitive systems. Qualifications Deep experience designing and operating distributed backend services in production at meaningful scale. Strong security engineering judgment across access control, encryption, identity, trust boundaries, key management, certificate lifecycle, and failure modes. Experience building reliable APIs, automation, and developer-facing infrastructure used by multiple engineering teams. Operational excellence in observability, incident response, reliability engineering, scalability, and safe production change management. Ability to lead ambiguous technical programs, make durable architecture decisions, influence across teams, and mentor engineers. Comfort working with application, infrastructure, identity, and security partners on high-trust, security-sensitive systems. Practical experience with threat modeling, security reviews, hardening, and production risk reduction for sensitive-data systems. *Design, develop, troubleshoot and debug software programs for databases, applications, tools, networks etc. As a member of the software engineering division, you will take an active role in the definition and evolution of standard practices and procedures. Define specifications for significant new projects and specify, design and develop software according to those specifications. You will perform professional software development tasks associated with the developing, designing and debugging of software applications or operating systems.
