Diversity. Inclusion. They’re more than just words for us. They are the guiding values of how we build our teams, cultivate leaders, and create a culture where people feel connected. We take care of our employees so they can take care of our customers. Customers who come from all walks of life just like us. We hire incredible people from diverse backgrounds because when we are different together, we are stronger together. The Role BeyondTrust is seeking a Senior Staff Software Development Engineer to set the technical direction for the NHI Governance domain within our Pathfinder products. As one of the most senior engineers on the team, you will own architecture across the domain and its integration with our shared platform substrates, drive our hardest technical bets, and establish the standards, interfaces, and patterns that other teams build on. You will lead the server-side loop — discover, assess, and remediate non-human identities (service accounts, workload identities, secrets and keys, and AI agents) across cloud and on-premise environments — and act as a force multiplier across engineering, solving complex identity and security challenges at What You’ll Do - Set and drive technical direction and architecture across the NHI Governance domain and its integration with shared platform services. - Own the most complex, high-risk, and cross-cutting technical initiatives end to end, from ambiguous problem to delivered system. - Define the standards, interfaces, and contracts that multiple teams and products depend on, and shepherd their adoption. - Partner with product, design, and peer engineering leaders to align technical strategy with business goals across BeyondTrust. - Act as a force multiplier — mentoring staff and senior engineers, raising the technical bar, and improving how the organization builds. - Lead design reviews and make the critical build/buy and architectural trade-off decisions. - Drive quality, security, observability, and performance as first-class concerns across the domain. - Resolve ambiguity at the largest scope, ensuring the right problems are framed, sequenced, and solved. What You’ll Bring - Deep expertise architecting and delivering large-scale, distributed, cloud-native systems. - Expert programming skills in C#, Go, TypeScript, Java, or other modern languages, with authority in API and distributed-systems design. - Hands-on experience with Claude Code (or comparable agentic AI coding tools) to design, build, and review software at high velocity, and the judgment to set the patterns, standards, and guardrails other engineers follow. - A track record of owning architecture and technical direction across multiple teams or an entire domain. - Strong, hands-on AWS expertise designing, hosting, and operating production applications at scale, including compute (e.g., EKS), networking, IAM, managed data stores, and sound scaling, reliability, and cost trade-offs. - Deep understanding of CICD and hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation). - Experience designing multi-tenant shared services consumed by other engineering teams. - Familiarity with data modeling, exploration, and visualization at scale. - Exceptional problem-solving and the ability to drive clarity and technical direction amid significant ambiguity. - Excellent communication skills, able to influence technical direction across teams and with leadership. Nice To Have - Deep domain experience in identity security: IAM, NHI/Secrets, cloud IAM (AWS IAM, Microsoft Entra ID), OAuth/OIDC. - Graph databases, graph data modeling, and analytics at scale. - Experience taking new platform-native modules from 0 to 1 at enterprise scale. Who You Are - A technical authority who takes ownership of the hardest problems and delivers scalable solutions. - A force multiplier who elevates the engineers and teams around you. - A bar-raiser for delivering results and relentlessly pursuing high quality. - Someone who balances technical excellence with pragmatic decision-making, ensuring security without unnecessary complexity. - A strong communicator and influencer across technical and business audiences.
