Aembit is a well-funded cybersecurity startup founded in late 2021. The company’s founders have a strong track record, having started several companies that were successfully acquired. We are focused on a new area in the hot identity space.
We are looking for a versatile and experienced senior software engineer to join our Edge team. In this role, you will contribute to the design, development, and maintenance of the full suite of Aembit Edge software. While our core components are primarily written in Rust, we value engineers with diverse language backgrounds who can adapt and contribute effectively to our technology stack.
This is a role for a well-rounded engineer who is comfortable working across different technologies and is ready to own entire projects from start to finish.
Aembit is fully remote. This is an excellent opportunity for you to be impactful and develop a new security product for a large market from the ground up.

- Develop and Maintain Edge Components: Take ownership of key software projects, guiding their development, roadmap, build, and release processes to ensure stability and performance for our customers.
- Contribute to Core Components: Work on our core Edge team’s components, including our primary agent proxy and CLI (largely written in Rust), which support various deployment targets such as Kubernetes, VMs (Linux, Windows), and serverless.
- Build for Developers: Work on projects that improve the developer experience and streamline the integration of our product into customer environments.
- Collaborate and Improve: Work within a team of senior engineers to improve our CI/CD pipelines, test automation, and overall development practices.
