Security Developer (KONG) 100% Remote

Our team enables other teams to safely and securely accept traffic, empowering them with standardized mechanisms for authentication and authorization. We work with developers from across the company, as well as internal business partners and architects, to help deliver scalable solutions that protect their APIs and underlying architecture.

We accomplish this by building software that allows organizations to easily setup and maintain their own secure gateways, and allows application teams within those organizations to easily onboard to those gateways.

A developer in this role will be collaborating with these partner teams to ensure our key design choices meet their requirements, and they will be communicating these decisions to stakeholders. They must be ready to help dive into partner team issues, and help drive the design of our common architecture.
