Our services - Common Provisioning, Identity and Access Management, Common Objects Service, Posture Service, and Policy Service - give Cisco's security products a shared language for security objects, posture, and policy, moving the portfolio toward unified policy outcomes instead of fragmented, one-off integrations; when we ship a cleaner object model or a faster policy API, every downstream team that depends on it moves faster too. We're a small, close-knit engineering team working across Go microservices, event-driven Kafka pipelines, and Kubernetes/EKS infrastructure, where engineers own problems end-to-end, value transparency, and lean on each other rather than staying siloed. It's an exciting time to join: we're pushing AI/ML deeper into how we design, build, and ship the platform, while tackling real distributed-systems challenges - multi-tenant isolation, cycle-safe hierarchy resolution, high-throughput event distribution - that shape how securely and smoothly Cisco's entire security portfolio works together. Your Impact * Design and build core components of the Common Services Platform and/or Solutions to enable scalable, secure, and resilient cloud-native deployments. * Partner with Product Management to understand requirements, estimate level of effort, and contribute to sprint and quarterly planning. * Collaborate across teams to deliver end-to-end functionality while aligning on integration points and infrastructure. * Develop POCs and prototypes to explore new ideas, validate technical approaches, or test performance. * Mentor junior engineers, sharing best practices, reviewing designs, and supporting career growth. * Influence system design, contributing to and guiding implementation to ensure high-quality, timely delivery at scale. ## Related Videos - [How Cisco embraced a DevOps culture within its network engineering team](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/99-how-cisco-embraced-a-devops-culture-within-its-network-engineering-team) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Infrastructure as Code: The Developer's Secret Weapon](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1221-infrastructure-as-code-the-developer-s-secret-weapon) - [Go with the Flow: Stop the Leaks Before Your Memory's a Waterfall!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100073-go-with-the-flow-stop-the-leaks-before-your-memory-s-a-waterfall) - [Retooling and refactoring - an investment in people.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/371-retooling-and-refactoring-an-investment-in-people) - [Next Level Enterprise Architecture: Modular, Flexible, Scalable, Multichannel and AI-Ready?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1017-next-level-enterprise-architecture-modular-flexible-scalable-multichannel-and-ai-ready) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [How Much FAANG Companies Actually Pay Software Engineers in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/230-how-much-faang-companies-actually-pay-software-engineers-in-2025) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers)
