SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER, IRIS AI

ABOUT THE IRIS AI TEAM

Iris AI powers the AI-driven capabilities of the Delinea Platform, tackling real-world security challenges. Our team leverages LLMs to detect anomalies in audit data, enhance authorization decisions, and deploy intelligent agents that deliver tangible results for our customers. The work is innovative, fast-paced, and directly impacts some of the world’s largest organizations.

THE ROLE

As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll design, build, and operate the cloud services that drive Delinea's AI features. LLMs are a core part of your toolkit: from inference and retrieval to agents and evaluation, you’ll take ownership across the product surface. Our services are developed in C#/.NET, Python, and Go—strength in any is valued, and openness to learn others is expected. You’ll report to the Director of Engineering, Iris AI

This position is in a Hybrid Model in Mexico city.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Build and operate scalable, highly available backend services in C#/.NET, Python, and Go, utilizing Azure and Kubernetes.

• Develop LLM-powered features using platforms such as Azure AI Foundry: model integration, context pipelines, RAG, tool calling, agents, and evaluation.

• Design event-driven, asynchronous architectures across microservices.

• Take end-to-end responsibility for delivery, including infrastructure-as-code with Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and production incident response.

• Collaborate with product, UX, and other platform teams; actively participate in code and design reviews.

• Leverage AI in your daily workflow; use coding agents to design, write, and review code held to the same standard as hand-written code.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

• Bachelor’s in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience.

• 8+ years of experience designing and building production backend services in C#/.NET, Python, or Go, and engaging across the full software development lifecycle.

• Hands-on experience building products with LLMs, including inference, structured outputs, RAG, tool calling, or agents (e.g., Azure AI Foundry, OpenAI API, Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex AI, Anthropic API, or similar).

• Proficiency with AI-assisted development (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor), with emphasis on spec-driven development, careful context management, and verified, tested output.

• Strong understanding of distributed systems, API design, and microservices, as well as experience with a major cloud provider.

• Sound knowledge of multi-tenant SaaS architecture and the challenges of operating at scale.

BONUS POINTS

• Experience building tools, APIs, or integrations that AI agents call (e.g., MCP servers, function/tool-calling interfaces, plugins).

• Depth in ML and MLOps: fine-tuning, evaluation harnesses, and model deployment in production.

• Expertise in Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines.

• Background in identity security, PAM, or Zero Trust architectures.
