Role summary

BeyondTrust is seeking a Sr Software Development Engineer to join their cybersecurity SaaS team. This role focuses on building the NHI Governance domain within Pathfinder products, designing and operating full-stack services for identity and security challenges. Responsibilities include developing backend services, APIs, and data pipelines, owning features end-to-end, and mentoring junior engineers. The ideal candidate will have strong programming skills in languages like C#, Go, TypeScript, or Java, full-stack capability, hands-on AWS experience, and understanding of CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code. Experience in identity security is a plus.

BeyondTrust is a place where you can bring your purpose to life through the work that you do, creating a safer world through our cybersecurity SaaS portfolio.

Our culture of flexibility, trust, and continual learning means you will be recognized for your growth, and for the impact you make on our success. You will be surrounded by people who challenge, support, and inspire you to be the best version of yourself.

The Role

BeyondTrust is seeking a Senior Software Development Engineer to help build NHI Governance. NHI Governance is the Pathfinder Insights module that discovers, assesses, and remediates non-human identities — service principals, IAM users, access keys and secrets, workload identities, and AI agents — across Microsoft Entra ID, AWS, and on-premise environments. The system spans .NET 10 services over PostgreSQL; an inventory pipeline fed from governed Databricks lakehouse views; durable Temporal workflows (Python workers, a .NET gateway, protobuf contracts) that onboard, rotate, reduce access for, and decommission live customer credentials, with custody in BeyondTrust Password Safe and storage adapters for AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, and HashiCorp Vault; and Angular micro-frontends in the Insights console. It ships through GitOps to Amazon EKS in commercial and government environments.

You will own how NHI Governance connects to the systems it governs — Microsoft Entra ID, AWS IAM, and vault and PAM platforms including BeyondTrust Password Safe — end to end: the integration code and workflow activities, the least-privilege permissions customers grant us, the setup experience that explains them, the screens that expose them, and the real test environments that prove it all works.

What You’ll Do

  • Build and own integrations with Microsoft Graph (Entra ID), AWS IAM/STS, and vault and PAM platforms — Python workflow activities and .NET services that are idempotent, retry-safe, and compensable.
  • Own the per-feature permission matrix: exactly which Graph roles, IAM actions (with resource and condition scoping), and Password Safe permissions each feature needs. Keep it true as the code changes.
  • Build the guided setup assets customers run — an Entra setup script, an AWS CloudFormation quick-create, and Password Safe checklists with live verification — and the in-product checks that tell a customer what's missing and how to fix it.
  • Own the team's real test environments: Entra test tenants, AWS sandbox accounts, and Password Safe instances, plus the automation that mints, grants, sweeps, and verifies them with least privilege and no standing secrets.
  • Own the live end-to-end suites that run governance journeys against real tenants, and debug failures across the API, workflow, vendor API, and permission layers.
  • Ship the full stack for what you integrate: .NET APIs over PostgreSQL and the Angular micro-frontend screens for connectors, vault setup, and readiness.
  • Be the team's escalation point for opaque vendor failures — the uniform 401s and 403s whose real cause is in an audit log.

    • What You’ll Bring

  • Strong backend engineering in Python and C#/.NET — strong in one, working in the other. REST API design. PostgreSQL.
  • Hands-on Microsoft Entra ID administration as an engineer: app registrations and service principals, Microsoft Graph application permissions and admin consent, app ownership, managed identities, and federated credentials. You have debugged “why is this 403.”
  • AWS IAM in depth: cross-account roles and external ids, policy conditions and resource scoping, STS, Secrets Manager, and SSO/CLI profiles. Comfortable reading and writing Terraform and CloudFormation.
  • Experience automating credential lifecycle — creating, rotating, or revoking keys, client secrets, certificates, or vault secrets — with a sound instinct for blast radius.
  • Scripting fluency in PowerShell and bash; customers run our setup scripts.
  • Working TypeScript and Angular, enough to own a feature's screens in our module-federation micro-frontends.
  • Testing against real dependencies, including environment fixtures you set up and tear down yourself.
  • Comfortable in an AI-assisted codebase; reviews generated code critically, especially permission and IAM changes.

    • Nice To Have

  • PAM or vault platform administration: BeyondTrust Password Safe (managed systems, functional accounts, rotation plugins), HashiCorp Vault, Azure Key Vault.
  • Temporal or another durable workflow engine; Kafka.
  • Additional identity platforms (GCP service accounts, GitHub Apps, Okta).
  • Playwright or other browser end-to-end testing; Docker Compose local stacks.
  • GovCloud / FedRAMP experience.
  • Daily hands-on practice with agentic coding tools such as Claude Code.

    • Who You Are

  • Someone who enjoys making real systems actually work, not just compile.
  • Patient with vendor documentation, and good at writing the doc the next person needs.
  • Careful by default with privileged access.
  • A collaborator who owns problems end to end and shares what they learn.

    • Better Together

    Diversity. Inclusion. They’re more than just words for us. They are the guiding values of how we build our teams, cultivate leaders, and create a culture where people feel connected.

    We take care of our employees so they can take care of our customers. Customers who come from all walks of life just like us. We hire incredible people from diverse backgrounds because when we are different together, we are stronger together.
