Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Delinea is a company focused on securing human and machine identities through an AI-powered Identity Security Platform. The Iris AI team is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to design, build, and operate cloud services supporting AI features, including LLM inference, retrieval, agents, and evaluation. The role involves developing scalable backend services, event-driven architectures, and production infrastructure across Azure and Kubernetes.
Responsibilities
- Build and run scalable, highly available backend services in C#/.NET, Python, and Go on Azure and Kubernetes
- Build LLM-powered features on platforms like Azure AI Foundry: model integration, context pipelines, RAG, tool calling, agents, and evals
- Design event-driven, asynchronous architectures across our microservices
- Own delivery end to end: Terraform, CI/CD, monitoring, and production incident response
- Work closely with product, UX, and other platform teams; give and get sharp code and design reviews
- Build with AI every day. We use coding agents to design, write, and review code, and we hold that code to the same bar as anything written by hand
Skills
- A degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience
- 8+ years designing and building production backend services in C#/.NET, Python, or Go, with experience across the full software development lifecycle
- Hands-on experience building products with LLMs (not just using them): inference, structured outputs, RAG, tool calling, or agents on Azure AI Foundry, the OpenAI API, Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, the Anthropic API, or similar
- Fluency with AI-assisted development (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) treated as a discipline in its own right: spec-driven development, careful context, and verified, tested output
- Strong grasp of distributed systems, API design, and microservices, plus experience with a major cloud provider
- Solid understanding of multi-tenant SaaS architecture and the trade-offs of operating at scale
- For this Job, Delinea is not considering candidates that need any type of US work authorization now or in the future. This includes, but is not limited to: F1-OPT, F1-CPT, H-1B, TN, L-1, J1, etc
- Experience building tools, APIs, or integrations that AI agents call - MCP servers, function/tool-calling interfaces, plugins, or similar
- ML and MLOps depth: fine-tuning, eval harnesses, and deploying and evaluating models in production
- Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines
- Identity security, PAM, or Zero Trust background
