About this role

The Senior Software Engineer for AI Gateway position at Delinea is a full-time, hybrid role based in Mexico City with remote flexibility. This opportunity suits an experienced backend or networking specialist who wants to build innovative security controls for artificial intelligence and identity platforms.

Role Overview

Securing AI relies on controlling what AI agents can do at the moment they act, which happens directly at the gateway level. In this role, the engineer adds new AI security features to an access proxy product and integrates this capability into the Delinea Platform. Responsibilities include connecting the product to the platform for real customers, transitioning features natively without disrupting current users, and reporting directly to the Director of Engineering for Securing AI.

Key Responsibilities

Build innovative AI security features into the access proxy product where user and agent traffic gets inspected and controlled.
Treat communication protocols like Model Context Protocol as enforcement boundaries while building controls for agent-to-agent interactions.
Connect the proxy product to the Delinea Platform and validate the experience with design partners and paying customers.
Transition features into the Delinea Platform as the product matures while ensuring a seamless experience for active customers.
Enforce just-in-time access and policy decisions directly in the request path utilizing platform identity and authorization building blocks.
Collaborate closely with product management and engineering teams responsible for the platform proxy and access engine.

Requirements

Typically 8 or more years of professional experience building production-grade backend or networking systems.
Hands-on operational experience working with proxies, gateways, API gateways, or related systems sitting in the request path to inspect or control traffic.
Strong programming skills in modern backend languages including Go, C#, Java, or Rust.
Proven experience evolving software products across multiple releases, specifically moving capabilities between systems without interrupting existing customers.
Ability to independently navigate complex technical problems, exercise sound judgment, and make optimal design trade-offs with limited direction.

Nice to Have

Practical experience with secure access technologies such as privileged access management, zero trust network access, SSH, RDP, or database proxying.
Working familiarity with AI agents, Model Context Protocol, or large language model traffic.
Professional background in cybersecurity or identity management.
