Senior Software Engineer (PAM)
Bitwarden
Bitwarden, the open-source password and identity security company, is hiring a Senior Software Engineer for its Privileged Access Management (PAM) team in Delhi. The employer frames this as a foundational role in shaping its India engineering center of excellence.
The stated pay is USD 61,000 per year, unusually transparent for an India security role at this level.
What the work involves
The engineer leads design and development of Bitwarden's next-generation privileged access platform: gateway services, terminal access protocols such as SSH and RDP session proxying, and auditing and enforcement features. Bitwarden describes a "True Ownership" model where engineers own services end to end, from design and secure development through automated testing, deployment and operational health, including on-call rotations and postmortems.
The team works in a co-located cross-functional "Embedded Trio" of product, design and engineering.
What the employer asks for
- 4+ years as a software engineer with team lead experience: setting technical direction, mentoring senior engineers and owning outcomes.
- Strong proficiency in C#/.NET, Rust or TypeScript, plus JEST or a comparable testing framework.
- Security domain experience: secure gateway architectures, reverse proxies, session proxying, IAM, key rotation and real-time audit logging.
- Containerized environments (Docker/Kubernetes), observability tooling, and familiarity with zero-trust architectures and threat modeling.
