Principal Architect
We’re looking for a PrivX Principal Architect to lead the architecture and technical direction within SSH’s PrivX platform and related secure-access products.
As a PrivX Principal Architect, you’ll lead the server-side architecture and backend component design for PrivX. You’ll own the technology roadmap for your area, design component and API interactions, and guide the implementation of scalable, secure solutions. Working hands-on with developers, product managers, and customers, you’ll turn requirements into well-structured, maintainable systems that align with the platform’s overall vision.
You will be part of our PrivX suite R&D team focusing on elements like zero configuration between client and server, controlling non-human identities, and the communication model between client and server. PrivX is already a well-established product, but these upcoming expansions give you the opportunity to step in at an early design stage and help lead the design in the desired direction.
Your responsibilities:
- Build and maintain the technical roadmap for your modules and features
- Design and document architectural principles, API flows, and component hierarchies
- Participate in customer technical discussions and feed insights back into product development
- Write and review code to guide quality, performance, and best practices
- Improve development tools, processes, and standards to enhance efficiency and consistency
- Communicate architectural vision clearly across teams and explain design choices to partners and customers.
What we are looking for:
- Proven experience in secure access and privileged access management across complex enterprise systems.
- Strong grasp of microservices, APIs, cloud platforms, and networking
- Experience with Go, Python, or C/C++ and modern cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, Docker)
- Hands-on approach with strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Ability to balance strategic vision with practical, incremental delivery
- Excellent communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders
Build, lead, and inspire - apply now to shape the future of secure access with SSH.
