Security Infrastructure Software Engineer

Security Infrastructure Software Engineer | C / Python | Cork, Ireland (100% Onsite)

A world-renowned semiconductor company is hiring in Cork, Ireland. This is a chance to build the secure services that protect cryptographic keys across the whole organisation.

Why this role is exciting

You’ll join the development team behind the services that support device image signing and factory provisioning, using keys protected by Hardware Security Modules (HSMs). The services are mostly delivered as Java applications on standalone, on-premises servers with attached HSMs, built to very high security and assurance standards. This is an engineering role, not a cybersecurity IT position.

What you’ll do

• Contribute across the full lifecycle: architecture, development, testing, integration and debugging
• Work with device engineering teams on what is possible and efficient with the secure infrastructure
• Help shape the architecture of the company’s products

What you’ll bring

• Proven programming skills in C and Python
• Experience with build toolchains and multi-module projects
• Experience with C for embedded environments (e.g. PowerPC architecture, ELF binary generation)
• Experience with the SDLC using defined tools and processes
• Experience with build frameworks such as Maven or Gradle
• A general understanding of source code management (e.g. Git) and PKI
• A general understanding of CI/CD pipelines for automated build, sign and publish workflows
• Strong communication and documentation skills, and the ability to collaborate across distributed teams

Ideally, you’ll also have

• Java development experience, including Spring, RESTEasy, JAXB and JCA/JCE
• Experience building, signing and publishing native applications with Java- or Python-centric toolchains in a cross-platform environment
• A clear understanding of PKI/certificates and cryptographic key management
• Working experience with OpenSSL (1.x FIPS and 3.x), PKCS#11 and HSM platforms and toolchains
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines for build, sign and publish
• A broad understanding of web and REST API services, UI frameworks, and XML/JSON
• Familiarity with post-quantum cryptography
• Experience with containerisation (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes)

What’s on offer

• Salary, stock and performance-related bonus
• Employee stock purchase scheme and matching pension scheme
• Life, medical, income and travel insurance
• Maternity/paternity leave and education assistance
• Relocation and immigration support (if needed)
• Subsidised physical and mental wellbeing memberships, and a bicycle purchase scheme
• Employee-run clubs including running, football, chess and badminton

Location: Cork, Ireland. This is a 100% onsite role.
