JOB TITLE: Lead Software Engineer, PKI & Cryptographic Trust Services
The Experience Salesforce Data Security team is seeking a Lead Software Engineer to architect, build, and scale a unified certificate Registration Authority. This foundational trust layer authenticates and authorizes millions of daily certificate issuance requests to secure machine-to-machine communication and data-in-transit across a global multi-cloud platform. You will design highly concurrent, multi-substrate build paths in Go, develop synchronous and asynchronous issuance paths using distributed state-machine orchestration, and implement hierarchical policy engines. Key responsibilities include mentoring engineers, managing certificate lifecycles, and integrating with public and private Certificate Authorities. You will utilize Go, Java, or Rust, alongside AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot and Cursor. The role solves critical cryptographic trust problems, requiring expertise in PKI, X.509 profiles, mTLS, and post-quantum cryptography standards.
