About The Position

BeyondTrust is seeking a Sr Software Development Engineer to help build the NHI Governance domain within our Pathfinder products. You will design, build, and operate the full-stack services that power 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. Working across the stack — from APIs, data pipelines, and platform services through to the occasional UI surface — you will own meaningful features end to end, partner closely with senior engineers, product, and design, and deliver secure, scalable, high-quality software that solves complex identity and security challenges at scale.

Requirements

• Strong programming skills in one or more modern languages (C#, Go, TypeScript, Java, or similar), with solid experience designing and building APIs and microservices.
• Full-stack capability — comfortable owning backend services and able to work in a modern JavaScript/TypeScript framework when a feature calls for it, without a primary UI focus.
• Hands-on, day-to-day experience using Claude Code (or comparable agentic AI coding tools) to design, build, and review software at high velocity, with the judgment to critically review what the tools produce.
• Hands-on AWS experience building and operating production services (e.g., compute, IAM, managed data stores), with sound reliability and cost awareness.
• Understanding of CI/CD and hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation).
• Familiarity with data modeling and working with data at scale.
• Solid grasp of modern testing and observability practices in cloud environments.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to make progress amid ambiguity.
• Good communication and collaboration skills across technical and cross-functional conversations.

Nice To Haves

• Domain experience in identity security: IAM, NHI/Secrets, cloud IAM (AWS IAM, Microsoft Entra ID), OAuth/OIDC.
• Experience with event-driven architecture, graph data modeling, or analytics at scale.
• Experience building multi-tenant services consumed by other engineering teams.
• Familiarity with a modern JavaScript framework (Angular, React, or Vue with TypeScript).

Responsibilities

• Design, build, test, and operate scalable, resilient backend services, APIs, and data pipelines across the domain.
• Own features end to end — from design and implementation through production rollout, observability, and operational health.
• Contribute across the stack where needed, integrating services with front-end workflows and other platform teams.
• Participate in and help lead design discussions, making sound technical trade-offs for the work you own.
• Review functional and technical requirements to identify gaps, propose simplifications, and help scope and sequence work.
• Uphold a high-quality bar through code review, testing, and secure development practices.
• Investigate and resolve complex bugs and reliability issues across the services you own.
• Mentor less-experienced engineers and share best practices in cloud-native development.
