Virtru is looking to solve the problem of data security in a way that enables sharing rather than preventing it. They are building a platform and applications based on the Trusted Data Format (TDF) open standard to allow Fortune 500 companies and government agencies to share data securely, privately, and with control, even in complex on-premise, air-gapped, and cloud-native environments.
Requirements
- Strong proficiency in Go (Golang) and experience building production-grade, scalable services with it.
- Solid experience with JavaScript and Node.js for backend development, including managing production Node.js services.
- Experience with both microservice and monolithic architectures, APIs (gRPC, REST), and distributed systems.
- Solid understanding of containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and CI/CD principles.
- Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi, or similar.
- Deep experience in cryptography, including knowledge of cryptographic primitives, protocols, and secure key management.
- Deep understanding of identity federation principles beyond just protocol usage (OIDC, SAML), including experience designing or contributing to federated trust systems.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain our core backend platform and services using Go.
- Manage, maintain, and enhance multiple backend systems and services built with JavaScript and Node.js.
- 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 solutions for complex enterprise and federal customer deployments, including on-premise and air-gapped environments.
- Develop and maintain infrastructure as code using tools like Terraform or similar IaC platforms.
- Collaborate on the architecture and implementation of our multi-language SDKs (Go, Java, JavaScript) to ensure they integrate seamlessly with the backend.
Other
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a significant focus on backend development.
- A demonstrated ability to independently own complex technical projects from design to deployment.
- Thinking outside of the box to respectfully challenge your teammates and managers in the pursuit of excellence
- Strong sense of urgency with an action-oriented mindset
- Able to collaborate and adapt to shifting priorities as business needs evolve
