Lead Software Developer (Voltage SecureData)
About The Position
Join the Voltage SecureData Engineering team at OpenText as a Lead Software Developer. This role focuses on building the cryptographic engine behind Voltage SecureData, a data-centric encryption platform that protects sensitive information across various environments. The team develops core cryptographic libraries, SDKs, and platform integrations. The platform supports multiple operating systems including Linux, Windows, macOS, AIX, Solaris, IBM z/OS, and HPE NonStop, with SDKs for Java and C#/.NET. The primary focus of engineering work is on the portable C/C++ core, cryptographic services, and cross-language SDK integration. This is a hands-on leadership position where you will write and debug production code, lead technical design discussions, mentor engineers, and resolve complex customer and platform issues.
Requirements
- Expert-level C/C++, C#, and Java development
- Strong systems programming background across Linux, Windows, or UNIX-like platforms
- Experience building portable, maintainable cross-platform software
- Practical applied cryptography experience: TLS/SSL, public-key cryptography, symmetric encryption, message authentication, key management
- Experience with native interop and cross-language SDK design
- Strong build engineering skills with CMake and CI/CD pipelines
- Technical leadership experience in code reviews, architecture, and mentoring
Nice To Haves
- PKCS#11 and HSM integration experience (nCipher, Atalla, Thales Luna)
- JVM and managed-runtime debugging experience
- Knowledge of post-quantum cryptography
- Payments/security standards such as EMV, PCI-DSS, or ISO 8583
- Experience using AI-assisted development tools effectively in production environments

- Drive cross-platform build and CI/CD strategy using CMake, GitLab CI, and Jenkins
- Maintain API and ABI stability across platforms and releases
- Mentor engineers and support architectural decision-making
- Partner with QA on unit, integration, and platform qualification testing
- Act as an escalation point for cryptographic, HSM, PKCS#11, and platform-related defects
- Develop and review cryptographic functionality, including symmetric and asymmetric encryption, key management and wrapping, TLS configuration and certificate handling, and message authentication and format-preserving encryption
- Own Java and C# SDK layers, including native interoperability with the core C library
- Improve platform security posture, including FIPS 140 and post-quantum readiness
- Support IBM z/OS integrations involving xLC/C++, JCL, SMP/E, RACF/ACF2, and COBOL/native interfaces
- Maintain HPE NonStop platform support and customer fixes as required
Benefits
- Ownership of security-critical systems used by major enterprises
- Rare exposure to platforms such as IBM z/OS and HPE NonStop
- Direct involvement in cryptographic and platform-level engineering challenges
- A senior, engineering-driven team focused on technical quality and real-world problem solving
