About Delinea:
Delinea is the identity security platform that continuously controls what AI agents, humans and machines can do and for how long. It extends privileged access management from the point of access to the moment of action, using just-in-time authorization to reduce standing privilege across on-premises, multi-cloud and short-lived infrastructure, without adding friction for legitimate users. Delinea provides visibility across every identity type, scores the risk each one carries, and preserves the context behind access decisions, making them auditable and defensible. It supports both static and ephemeral access, letting teams apply Zero Standing Privilege where risk demands it without replacing existing infrastructure.

Job Summary
This position is on the JIT Proxy team, which builds secure, just-in-time access to the resources customers depend on, including databases, servers, Kubernetes clusters, and other infrastructure. Instead of relying on standing access and long-lived credentials, users get access only when they need it, and only for as long as policy allows.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will help design, build, and operate the secure proxy and cloud services behind this product. That includes supporting protocols and connection types such as SSH, RDP, Kubernetes, and database connections, high-performance networking, distributed systems that stay correct at scale, and security that customers trust with access to their most sensitive infrastructure. We are deeply security-minded, applying Zero Trust and least-privilege principles throughout, and we care about building software that is reliable, observable, and easy to run in customer environments. You will report to the team's engineering manager.
What You'll Do:
Design, build, test, and maintain highly concurrent services that power secure, just-in-time access to customer resources.
Build and extend proxy capabilities across a growing range of protocols and resource types, including SSH, RDP, Kubernetes, databases, and more.
Develop distributed systems that securely deliver and enforce tenant policy, identity, and resource data across cloud services and proxies running in customer environments.
Build, deploy, and operate cloud services on Kubernetes and Azure, along with proxy software deployed into customer environments.
Write clean, well-tested software with a strong focus on secure networking, reliability, performance, observability, and maintainability.
Work with architects, product managers, and partner platform teams to define technical approaches and deliver features from design through production.
Diagnose complex connectivity, protocol, security, and performance issues across cloud services and customer environments.
Mentor other engineers, contribute to code and design reviews, and help continuously improve our engineering practices.
What You'll Need:
Bachelor's or Master's degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
5+ years of professional software engineering experience building backend, distributed, networking, or systems-level software.
Strong experience with concurrent programming, networking, and network protocols.
Strong understanding of distributed systems, including reliability, failure handling, APIs, and service-to-service communication.
Experience building secure software, including authentication, encryption, credential handling, or other security considerations for networked systems.
Experience with Azure, AWS, or another major cloud provider and cloud-native technologies such as Kubernetes.
Strong problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to navigate complex technical problems and collaborate effectively across teams.
A track record of mentoring other engineers and an eagerness to learn new technologies, protocols, and problem domains.
We'd Love to See:
Experience developing production software in Go (Golang), particularly concurrent or networked services.
Experience building proxies, gateways, or other networked systems, including implementing or debugging protocols such as SSH, RDP, Kubernetes, or database protocols.
Experience with security and identity technologies, including authentication, secrets management, credential brokering, or policy-as-code and authorization engines such as Cedar.
Experience with observability and event-driven systems using technologies such as OpenTelemetry and message brokers.
Experience shipping software into customer environments, including handling version skew, upgrades, and operational troubleshooting.
Experience with cloud infrastructure and development tooling such as Terraform, Azure DevOps or similar CI/CD systems, and container-based integration testing.
Understanding of Zero Trust architectures, just-in-time and least-privilege access, FIPS compliance, and secure software development practices.
