About the team

You’ll be joining the newly formed Privilege team, helping them build Privileged Access Management and Privileged Process Automation within the Identity Security Cloud Platform.

The team is fully remote, UK-based, and, as a small team, you will be a key contributor.

The role

In a typical day you’ll be working in Golang to deliver on the vision for the new product. In bridging a cloud-based SaaS offering with corporate infrastructure devices, there’ll be a mix of developing microservices in the cloud and containerised services running on Virtual Appliances within customers’ networks.

There are some interesting constraints, for example we want to ensure that customer-owned, privileged credentials are only available in plaintext within a customer-controlled environment, and this requires careful use of cryptography.

In 90 days, you’d be on-boarded and landing work in collaboration with the tech lead.

In 6 months, you’d be operating with a high degree of autonomy to deliver on the team goals.

In 1 year, you’d be a Subject Matter Expert able to run projects as the team grows.
