Original job description

ARKION PlatformStandard

For Executives

Built for boards, CIOs, and audit committees

Executive Brief

A non-technical overview of the NHI governance gap and how Arkion closes it. Built to forward to your board.

Compliance Crosswalk

DORA, NIS2, ISO 27001:2022, SEC Cyber-Disclosure: mapped to exactly which Arkion capability satisfies each control.

Cost of Inaction

Translate NHI exposure into dollars. The cost of a credential-related breach measured against the cost of governing one.

Trust Center· soon

Security architecture, sub-processors, DPA / MSA / BAA templates, attestation roadmap. Built for procurement.

Learn

Field notes, principles, and the Standard

NHIG: The Complete Guide

What Non-Human Identity Governance is, the five primitives, the maturity ladder, and how to start. The entry point to the category.

The NHIG Standard

Version 1.1 of the Non-Human Identity Governance Standard. Principles, vocabulary, maturity model. Open for comment.

The Vocabulary

Twelve operational terms Arkion authored for the category. NHID, Machine Speed, Silent Expiry, Orphaned Identity, and eight more.

Field Notes

Regulatory updates, principle additions to the Standard, breach post-mortems. Slow, considered writing from inside the category.

AI Agent Governance

What it means to govern an AI agent's identity: provisioning, scoping, revoking. Topic explainer.

Certificate Lifecycle

From issuance through rotation to revocation. The cryptographic primitives Arkion is built on.

Identity Registry

The single system of record for every non-human identity in your enterprise.

Why Now

DORA. NIS2. SEC Cyber-Disclosure. The 2024–2026 timeline that turned NHI governance from optional to required.

Tools

Estimate, scan, and act

Risk Estimator

Two minutes. Seven questions. A directional estimate of how many non-human identities are operating outside any governance boundary.

Discovery Scan

A read-only scan of one environment. Every NHI found, named, scored. Delivered to your inbox. No agents installed.

Implementation Timeline

Day 1 scan. Week 1 findings call. Week 2–3 pilot. Week 4 governed estate. The path from first call to first audit answer.

About the Role

We are looking for a Backend Software Engineer with strong Rust expertise to build secure, scalable, and high-performance services for our Next-Gen Human Identity (NHI) Platform.

You will play a key role in designing and implementing backend services, APIs, and cryptographic workflows, working closely with the Software Architect, Frontend Engineer, and Cloud & Deployment Engineer.

This role requires someone who is both strong in systems programming and backend development, and comfortable working on security-focused systems (TLS, certificates, identity).

Responsibilities

What you’ll own.

Backend development

Design and build high-performance backend services in Rust.
Develop REST/gRPC APIs for certificate management, identity workflows, and system operations.
Implement asynchronous and concurrent systems using Rust best practices.
Write clean, maintainable, and testable code.

Security & cryptography

Work with TLS/SSL, X.509 certificates, and secure communication flows.
Implement or integrate certificate lifecycle management (issuance, rotation, revocation).
Ensure secure handling of keys, secrets, and authentication flows (mTLS, token-based).

Cloud-native & distributed systems

Build services designed for containerized environments (Docker).
Work with Kubernetes-based deployments.
Collaborate on scalability, observability, and reliability.
Integrate with cloud services (AWS, Azure, or GCP).

Data & persistence

Design and implement PostgreSQL schemas.
Optimize queries and ensure performance at scale.
Handle transactional workflows and consistency.

Collaboration

Work closely with the Software Architect on system design.
Partner with the Frontend Engineer on API contracts.
Partner with the Cloud Engineer on deployment and runtime concerns.
Contribute to technical discussions and design decisions.
Required Skills

What you’ll bring day one.

Core backend & Rust

3 to 6 years of backend development experience.
Strong proficiency in Rust.
Experience with async programming (tokio, async/await).
Experience with Rust web frameworks (Axum, Actix, Warp).
Solid understanding of ownership, concurrency, and memory safety.

API & systems design

Experience building RESTful or gRPC APIs.
Understanding of microservices architecture.
Ability to design clean, versioned APIs.

Database

Strong experience with PostgreSQL.
Knowledge of indexing, query optimization, and schema design.

Cloud & DevOps awareness

Experience with Docker and Kubernetes basics.
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines.

Security awareness

Understanding of TLS/SSL fundamentals.
Secure coding practices.
Experience with certificate management is a strong plus.
Nice to Have
PKI systems, certificate authorities, ACME protocol.
KMS / HSM integrations.
Identity & access management systems.
Next.js frontend integration exposure.
Experience in security or infrastructure platforms.
Why Join Us

01

Work on a cutting-edge security and identity platform.

02

Solve real-world cryptographic and infrastructure challenges.

03

High ownership and impact in a growing team.

04

Opportunity to work across Rust, cloud, and security domains.
