About the role

  • The DigiCert Platform team is the foundation everything else runs on.
  • This is high-leverage, high-stakes platform engineering.
  • We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer who combines deep Java and React expertise with production-grade IAM knowledge, and who treats AI as a genuine part of how they work - not a novelty.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the design and development of Java backend services and RESTful APIs - driving architectural decisions, defining API contracts, and setting the bar for code quality across the team
  • Own complex full-stack features spanning Java backend services and React frontend, from requirements through production, including performance optimization and long-term maintainability
  • Architect and implement IAM flows - OAuth 2.0, OIDC, and SAML - with deep, production-tested knowledge of token lifecycle, session management, multi-tenant identity, and integration with Okta, Azure AD, or equivalent identity providers
  • Champion security engineering practices: secure-by-design architecture, threat modeling, RBAC/ABAC patterns, token security, and zero-trust principles applied in a platform context
  • Drive CI/CD maturity - own and improve pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar
  • Operate confidently with infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes, and IaC tools (Terraform, Helm) at production scale, including cost-aware design and platform reliability
  • Mentor and grow junior and mid-level engineers through code reviews, design feedback, pairing sessions, and technical guidance
  • Own observability and incident response for the services you build - define SLOs, instrument with New Relic, Splunk, or Datadog, and lead post-mortems that improve the system
  • Partner closely with Product and Design to shape requirements, push back on scope when needed, and consistently deliver value on time

Requirements

  • Proficiency with CI/CD pipelines, Docker, Kubernetes, and IaC tools (Terraform or Helm)
  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and cloud-native design patterns

Nice to have

  • Experience with event-driven architectures - Kafka or similar - for real-time security event processing or audit pipelines
  • Familiarity with digital certificates, PKI, or the broader DigiCert ONE trust platform
  • Track record of introducing AI-first development practices to a team - beyond personal use, raising the floor for others
  • Contributions to open-source projects in identity, security, or platform infrastructure
  • Experience with advanced deployment patterns (feature flags, progressive rollouts) and experimentation frameworks in a platform context

  • Job summary
  • The DigiCert Platform team is the foundation everything else runs on. We build and own the DigiCert One platform that powers every other DigiCert product - the shared infrastructure, services, and identity layer that product teams across DigiCert depend on to ship. Most critically, we own IAM for the entire DigiCert product portfolio: every login, every session, every access decision across DigiCert ONE flows through our team.
  • This is high-leverage, high-stakes platform engineering. The systems you build won't serve one product - they'll serve all of them, at enterprise scale, with security requirements that leave no margin for error.
