Kaseya is the leading provider of AI-powered IT management and cybersecurity software, serving Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and internal IT organizations worldwide. Our comprehensive platform helps organizations efficiently manage, secure, and automate their IT environments, driving operational efficiency and long-term business success.

Backed by Insight Partners, a leading global software investor, Kaseya has experienced sustained double-digit growth and continues to expand its global footprint. Today, Kaseya supports customers in more than 20 countries and manages over 15 million endpoints worldwide.

Founded in 2000, Kaseya was built by builders - and we're still building. We look for people who create rather than wait, who see a hard problem and lean in, and who treat challenges as raw material.

We're building teams that grow, perform, and make an impact. If you're driven by the itch to make things better - a product, a process, a career - you'll fit right in.

At Kaseya, we don't just raise the bar. We build it.

Job Summary

We’re hiring Platform Backend Engineers to build the services connecting workflow execution, identity, event routing, secrets management, and audit infrastructure within the Kaseya Intelligence Platform. This is hands-on backend engineering in Go or Rust for a platform used by other engineering teams and agentic AI workloads. Correctness, reliability, security, and operational clarity are core design requirements for everything you build.

Roles & Responsibilities

Build and operate platform services supporting API access, Kafka-based event routing, workflow execution, machine identity, and immutable audit records
Design event-driven workflows that convert PSA webhooks, RMM alerts, and platform events into durable execution using Kafka and Temporal
Implement a pluggable secrets-management and KMS abstraction supporting multiple cloud providers, bring-your-own-key models, envelope encryption, and customer-level cryptographic isolation
Build capability-grant enforcement for individual customers, workflows, operations, and service-to-service requests
Own GitOps-based deployment pipelines for versioned workflow definitions across isolated customer environments
Develop onboarding automation for identity provisioning, compliance configuration, and customer-specific key-management setup
Build secure connector services for third-party APIs, including scoped access, managed credentials, request validation, and pre-execution audit logging
Improve platform observability, performance, failure recovery, operational readiness, and production incident response

Required Qualifications

Experience building and operating production backend services using Go or Rust
Experience designing event-driven systems using Kafka or similar technologies, including retries, idempotency, replay, and at-least-once delivery
Experience implementing authentication and authorization using OAuth 2.0, OIDC, token lifecycle management, or fine-grained access controls
Experience implementing encryption or key-management solutions using cloud KMS platforms, envelope encryption, or key-hierarchy designs
Experience operating multi-tenant production systems using structured logging, metrics, distributed tracing, and incident-response practices

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with Temporal or another durable workflow orchestration platform
Experience integrating identity platforms such as Zitadel, Keycloak, Auth0, Okta, or similar technologies
Experience with ClickHouse or another columnar, append-only, or audit-focused data store
Experience with GitOps, CI/CD, Kubernetes, or infrastructure-as-code deployment practices
Experience integrating MSP, PSA, RMM, security, or Microsoft 365 platform APIs
Experience building software for environments subject to SOC 2, HIPAA, CMMC, or similar requirements
Experience developing multi-cloud platform services across AWS, Azure, or GCP

Compensation Range

The base salary range for this job is CAD $160,000 – $240,000 / year.

An individual’s base pay depends on various factors including geographical location and review of experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities of the applicant. At Kaseya, certain roles are eligible for benefits and additional rewards. These rewards are allocated based on individual impact in role. In addition, certain roles also have the opportunity to earn sales incentives based on revenue or utilization, depending on the terms of the plan and the employee’s role.

Additional Information

Kaseya provides equal employment opportunity to all employees and applicants without regard to race, religion, age, ancestry, gender, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, citizenship status, physical or mental disability, veteran status, marital status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.
