• Work across SQL (e.g. PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (e.g. Cassandra) data stores backing the platform.
• Engage in issue triage and collaborate closely with client and engineering teams to rapidly address integration challenges.
• Create and refine technical documentation and intuitive self-service resources.
• Collaborate proactively with internal Crypto Services teams to help direct the roadmap and features of the platform.

• Solid understanding of both front-end (e.g. Angular) and back-end technologies.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex technical concepts clearly and effectively.
• Proactive self-starter with the proven ability to context-shift with minimal direction and support various tasks at different stages of delivery.

Preferred:

• Knowledge of PKI fundamentals and applied cryptography.
• Experience with distributed NoSQL databases (e.g., Cassandra) and high-availability, fault-tolerant systems.
• Exposure to regulated environments or privacy-sensitive, security-critical applications.
