About the Role

We are seeking a Security Engineer to join a leading organization in the retail and e-commerce industry. This role focuses on implementing secure identity frameworks and workload authentication across distributed systems. You will work on cutting-edge technologies to ensure secure communication between services in a dynamic, large-scale environment.

Job Description

As a Security Engineer, you will be responsible for designing, deploying, and maintaining SPIFFE/SPIRE-based identity solutions. You will integrate these frameworks with container orchestration platforms, service meshes, and proxy workloads to enhance security posture. This position requires hands-on experience with SPIRE components and the ability to customize attestors and identity issuance workflows.

Key responsibilities include:

• Deploy and manage SPIRE Server and SPIRE Agent in production environments.
• Design and implement secure workload identity solutions using SPIFFE IDs and trust domains.
• Build or customize workload and node attestors to meet organizational needs.
• Implement SVID issuance and rotation for X.509 and JWT formats.
• Integrate SPIRE with Kubernetes clusters, service meshes (e.g., Istio, Linkerd), and Envoy-based workloads.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless identity management across distributed systems.

Qualifications

Required:

• Proven hands-on experience deploying and managing SPIRE Server and SPIRE Agent.
• Strong understanding of SPIFFE IDs, trust domains, and workload identity concepts.
• Experience designing and implementing SVID issuance and rotation (X.509/JWT).
• Ability to build or customize workload and node attestors.
• Practical experience integrating SPIRE with Kubernetes, service meshes (Istio, Linkerd), and Envoy-based workloads.

Preferred:

• Background in large-scale distributed systems or cloud-native environments.
• Familiarity with container security and zero-trust architectures.
• Experience with scripting or automation tools for identity management.
• Knowledge of TLS, PKI, and cryptographic principles.
