Senior Software Development Engineer

About the role

Join Delinea's Non-Human Identity (NHI) team as a Senior Software Engineer, where you will be instrumental in developing products that discover, govern, and secure machine identities such as service accounts, secrets, workloads, and AI agents. These machine identities now outnumber human identities significantly in enterprise environments, making this role critical to modern security infrastructure. You will be responsible for architecting, developing, and maintaining secure, scalable microservices that run in Kubernetes on Microsoft Azure. Your work will involve leveraging C# on the .NET platform, with data stored in Azure Cosmos DB and relational databases like Azure SQL. This position offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to Delinea's mission of strengthening identity and access management ecosystems through innovative engineering practices and high-quality code. You will report directly to the team's engineering manager and collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver robust solutions that meet security, privacy, and operational standards.
