About the Role
As a Senior Backend Software Engineer, you will be a core contributor to our Go-based backend and the open-source OpenTDF project, building the foundational services that power our entire data security platform. This is a hands-on role where you will tackle complex engineering challenges, architecting and implementing solutions that serve a diverse range of enterprise and federal customers. You will join a small, focused team with opportunities to collaborate with teams across Virtru's broader engineering organization. You will thrive in this role if you are a resilient problem-solver who is comfortable navigating the unique challenges of on-premise, air-gapped, and cloud-native environments. If you are passionate about building robust, secure, and scalable systems and want to make a significant impact on a growing platform, we encourage you to apply.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain our core backend platform and services using Go.
- Contribute directly to the open-source OpenTDF project, shaping its future and ensuring its success.
- Tackle complex engineering challenges related to data security, scalability, and distributed systems in a multi-language environment.
- Engineer and deploy solutions for complex enterprise and federal customer environments, including on-premise, air-gapped, and cloud-native deployments, using Terraform and GitOps tooling.
- Collaborate on the architecture and implementation of our multi-language SDKs (Go, Java, JavaScript) to ensure they integrate seamlessly with the backend.
- Mentor fellow engineers through constructive code reviews, pair programming, design discussions, and knowledge sharing.
- Develop well-defined written design documents and contribute to a culture of technical excellence.
- Leverage AI coding agents to accelerate development, maintain engineering standards, and scale your impact across the codebase.
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a significant focus on backend development.
- Strong proficiency in Go (Golang) and experience building production-grade, scalable services with it.
- Experience with both microservice and monolithic architectures, APIs (gRPC, REST), and distributed systems.
- Proven hands-on experience designing, deploying, and managing containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes in production environments, with practical implementation of CI/CD and GitOps pipelines (e.g., Helm, ArgoCD).
- Demonstrated experience designing and implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions using Terraform across multi-cloud environments.
- A demonstrated ability to independently own complex technical projects from design to deployment.
