Aalyria is a leading technology company that supplies laser communications technology and temporospatial software-defined networking platforms to the aerospace industry. Backed by Battery.
About the role
As a Staff Software Engineer on the Security Platform team, you'll set the direction for how Aalyria secures Spacetime. The team owns security for Aalyria products, and we build each capability once so it works the same in every environment Spacetime ships into. A system built this way produces its own compliance evidence. You'll work with product engineers and the infrastructure and developer platform teams to make that the default. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 10+ years of backend software engineering on production services, including ownership of systems other teams depend on
- Deep experience in Go, or deep backend experience in a comparable language and readiness to work in Go daily
- Firsthand knowledge of the failure modes of token based authentication, including audience confusion, unverified issuers, key confusion, and redirect handling at token endpoints, from having shipped through them
- Working knowledge of Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure
- Experience setting technical direction across teams: writing design docs, driving decisions to closure, and earning adoption without direct authority
- Experience mentoring engineers and raising the quality of design and code review

Spacetime runs in commercial cloud, government cloud, and classified or disconnected environments, and that last category shapes the work. Trust decisions must be verifiable offline, at sites we cannot reach, with no upstream to call. Most identity platforms assume a connected world. Ours cannot. Our security platform is evolving, with capabilities that grew up alongside Spacetime being consolidated into one coherent layer with identity at its center. You'll shape that evolution and set the patterns the rest of engineering follows. The people who thrive here bring depth in identity, PKI, and authorization, plus the judgment to make good tradeoffs when requirements pull in different directions.
