- Integrate established encryption, key-wrapping, and secret-management mechanisms.
- Prepare and review architecture, interface, design, and requirement documentation.
- Implement centralized logging, monitoring, audit trails, and end-to-end traceability for access events.
- Support the development and maintenance of software applications related to cybersecurity initiatives.

Experience: Five to ten years of software development experience, including GoLang programming in Linux environments and hands-on experience within cloud infrastructures.
Technical Skills: Strong proficiency in object-oriented design, data structures, and secure software development practices. Demonstrated experience designing REST APIs, gRPC services, and networked client-server applications. Experience with structured data formats such as JSON and XML, as well as authentication, authorization, and role-based access control systems.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with cryptographic key management, certificate management, PKI, or secret-management systems.
- Working knowledge of AES, RSA, TLS/mTLS, key wrapping, initialization vectors, and related cryptographic concepts.
