Job Summary
This position is on the team building StrongDM, now part of Delineaâthe universal access management platform that secures and audits access to databases, servers, Kubernetes clusters, and web applications. As a Staff Software Engineer, you will apply deep expertise across distributed systems, security, and cloud architecture to help shape the technical direction of StrongDMâs proxy and control-plane platform. You will take on the platformâs most complex and ambiguous engineering challenges, exercise independent judgment on architecture and design decisions that span multiple teams, and serve as a recognized subject matter expert on secure, high-scale distributed systems written in Go. You will report to the teamâs engineering manager.
What Youâll Do:
Lead the architecture and technical direction of highly concurrent, distributed backend systems in Go (Golang), setting engineering standards that extend across multiple teams within StrongDM and Delinea.
Drive design decisions for the proxy data plane (gateways and relays) and control-plane services, evaluating tradeoffs on the platformâs most complex and ambiguous technical problems.
Partner with architects, product managers, and DevOps/SRE leadership to shape multi-quarter system roadmaps, translating broader business priorities into concrete technical strategy.
Serve as a subject matter expert on secure network protocols and cryptographic systems (TLS/mTLS, credential brokering, key management), guiding their application across the platform.
Lead code and design reviews across teams, holding a high bar for performance, security, and maintainability, and coach engineers on applying that bar independently.
Investigate and resolve the most challenging technical issues in distributed, multi-cloud production environments, often requiring evaluation of ambiguous or intangible tradeoffs.
Author and maintain architectural and technical strategy documentation that informs decisions beyond your immediate team.
Mentor engineers across the team and may direct the work of others, building the cross-team relationships that help align engineering execution with company objectives.
What Youâll Need:
Bachelorâs or Masterâs degree in computer science, software engineering, or related technical discipline.
8+ years of professional experience working as a software engineer, with deep expertise in Go (Golang) , distributed systems, and backend/network service development at scale.
Demonstrated experience architecting highly concurrent, distributed systems and exercising independent judgment on methods, techniques, and evaluation criteria, including Goâs standard networking and cryptography libraries.
Strong understanding of distributed systems, network protocols, and API design (gRPC/Protobuf and/or RESTful APIs), with the ability to reason about tradeoffs across an entire system.
Experience with AWS (or another major cloud provider) and cloud-native deployment models at production scale.
Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to convey advanced technical concepts and persuade diverse stakeholders and audiences.
Proven ability to build formal working relationships and coordinate across multiple teams and functions.
Conceptual thinking skills sufficient to understand advanced technical issues and their broader implications for the business.
Demonstrated track record mentoring engineers and being recognized as a subject matter expert others turn to for guidance.
Weâd Love to See:
Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) beyond a single provider.
Experience establishing or influencing engineering-wide standards for Terraform automation and CI/CD pipelines.
Deep expertise with secure protocols, mTLS and PKI, secrets management (e.g., HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault), and credential brokering.
Familiarity with proxying database, SSH/RDP, Kubernetes, and HTTP traffic, and with building CLI or desktop client tooling.
Experience shaping Zero Trust architecture strategy, just-in-time access models, and policy-as-code (e.g., Cedar) at an organizational level.
