Senior Software Engineer (Secrets Manager)

Overview

Build and operate the application stack for Bitwarden's Secrets Manager, which lets developers, DevOps and cybersecurity teams centrally store, manage and deploy sensitive credentials. This is a hands-on role spanning a .NET API, a Rust SDK core, a TypeScript and Angular web client, SDK bindings in eight further languages, and integrations written in Go, C++, Java, PHP and Python.

What you'll do

• Own features from specification through production: write the design, build it across the API, client and SDK, test it, ship it, and stay with it once live.
• Review teammates' pull requests with care and invite the same scrutiny of your own.
• Pair on hard problems, share what you learn, and help newer engineers find their footing in a security-sensitive codebase.
• Maintain clean service boundaries and design resilient APIs so Secrets Manager can evolve independently of the core platform.
• Take on the hardest problems in the codebase and contribute to performance, reliability, accessibility, architecture and maintainability.
• Use AI coding assistants effectively in daily engineering and exercise judgement about where they help and where they do not.
• Own the operational health, performance and reliability telemetry of your services in production.
• Partner closely with Product, Design, Security and the other teams' engineers to design and validate solutions before implementation begins.

What you'll need

• 5+ years building and operating production software, with a track record of owning substantial, technically demanding features end to end as an individual contributor.
• Expertise in languages such as Rust, Go and Python.
• Expertise in tooling such as Terraform, Ansible and GitHub Actions.
• Expertise in containerized environments such as Kubernetes.
• Expertise in writing, consuming and using SDKs / APIs.
• Experience with C# / .NET.
• Experience with TypeScript / Angular.
• Experience with Entity Framework with implementations of Postgres, MySQL and SQLite.
• Familiarity with languages such as C++, Java and PHP.
• Familiarity with the WASM instruction format.
• Practical experience with containerized environments (Docker/Kubernetes), automated test frameworks (unit, integration and end-to-end), and SRE/observability tools (APM, alerting and telemetry dashboards).
• Familiarity with zero-trust and zero-knowledge security architectures, encryption standards and threat-modeling methodologies.
• Practical experience using AI coding assistants in day-to-day engineering, such as Claude Code, Copilot or similar.
• A highly collaborative and adaptable mindset, comfortable in rapid, outcome-driven feedback loops.
• Excitement for open source, developer advocacy and building a more secure internet.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, valuing clear written documentation and using data to make technical decisions.
