The engineer will develop primarily in Python, support existing applications using JavaScript and TypeScript, troubleshoot complex technical issues, and help transform manual identity and access processes into reliable, code-driven workflows. The role is best suited for someone who enjoys understanding how systems work, independently solving problems, and owning software through development, implementation, and ongoing support.
Main Responsibilities:- Design, develop, test, and maintain backend automation solutions using Python.
- Build services, APIs, and integrations supporting identity and access management workflows.
- Develop automated solutions for privileged-access and local-administrator-access processes.
- Support applications and integrations built around HashiCorp Vault and related IAM technologies.
- Replace manual and cumbersome processes with scalable, code-driven workflows.
- Troubleshoot application errors, integration failures, and production issues.
- Perform software enhancements, bug fixes, maintenance, and patching.
- Work with team members and business partners to identify processes that can be streamlined through automation.
- Apply sound software design, architecture, testing, and development practices.
- Deliver solutions that support operational efficiency, risk reduction, compliance, and cost avoidance.
- Contribute to future opportunities involving cloud automation, artificial intelligence, and large language models.
Must Have Skills:- Strong professional Python development experience, including building and maintaining backend applications or services.
- Experience designing, developing, testing, and supporting production software.
- Strong software engineering fundamentals, including application design, architecture, testing, debugging, and maintainable code.
- Demonstrated experience independently troubleshooting technical problems and researching root causes.
- Experience developing APIs, integrations, automation workflows, internal tools, or backend services.
- Experience with JavaScript and/or TypeScript.
- Ability to take ownership of technical solutions and deliver working software, rather than only providing recommendations.
- Curiosity, initiative, and the ability to learn unfamiliar systems and technologies.
Nice to Have Skills:- Docker experience.
- AWS or other cloud-platform experience.
- Identity and Access Management experience.
- HashiCorp Vault or other secrets-management platform experience.
