You’ll help take a proven, mission-focused product suite beyond its original customer environment and make it deployable across a much wider range of customers and environments.

Your core challenge is to genericize the current solution. That means removing customer-specific dependencies, abstracting environment-specific configurations, and building interfaces that let authorization workflows and key management operations run across many different customer environments. Your work will touch every major part of the ecosystem: clients, the Portal, Proxy services, and OpenBao-based key management services.
