Senior Software Development Engineer - Iris AI
Delinea is a pioneer in securing human and machine identities through intelligent, centralized authorization, empowering organizations to seamlessly govern their interactions across the modern enterprise. Leveraging AI-powered intelligence, Delinea’s leading cloud-native Identity Security Platform applies context throughout the entire identity lifecycle – across cloud and traditional infrastructure, data, SaaS applications, and AI.
The Iris AI team is building the AI-powered capabilities of the Delinea Platform, putting LLMs to work on real security problems: detecting anomalies in audit data, making authorization decisions smarter, and building agents that do real work for our customers.
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.
Requirements
- 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.
Nice to Have
- 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.
Delinea is not considering candidates that need any type of US work authorization now or in the future.

- Healthcare insurance.
- Pension/retirement matching.
