Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Security, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
12–15 years in Identity & Access Management, PKI, or security infrastructure engineering
Proven experience operating large-scale enterprise PKI environments
Strong understanding of cryptography, authentication, and trust models
Hands-on expertise with PKI platforms, HSM, key management, automation, Active Directory, and Microsoft Entra ID

Nice To Haves

Industry certifications in security or cloud (e.g., CISSP, Azure Security)
Experience in regulated industries such as oil & gas or energy
Knowledge of Zero Trust architecture, Conditional Access, and identity security engineering
Familiarity with ITIL and operational processes in regulated environments

Responsibilities

PKI & Certificate Services: Design, deploy, and manage enterprise PKI platforms (Microsoft ADCS, DigiCert, NDES, cloud-integrated services). Own certificate lifecycle management (issuance, renewal, revocation, compliance, automation). Implement post-quantum cryptography capabilities aligned to business and regulatory requirements. Manage HSM-backed key protection and integration with key management systems.
Cloud & Hybrid Identity Integration: Integrate PKI with Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID for hybrid identity scenarios. Enable certificate-based authentication for workloads, APIs, devices, VPN, and service accounts. Align PKI services with Azure and multi-cloud security architectures.
Security Engineering & Zero Trust: Implement phishing-resistant authentication using FIDO2, PIV, and certificate-based methods. Support Conditional Access policies leveraging identity, device posture, and risk signals. Advance Zero Trust maturity and continuous security posture improvement.
Privileged Access & Operational Security: Integrate PKI with PAM solutions (e.g., Delinea) for secure service account authentication. Support privileged access workstations and hardened admin environments. Lead break-glass and recovery scenarios using secure access controls.
Automation, Reliability & Operations: Drive automation using scripting, APIs, and orchestration to reduce manual processes. Lead disaster recovery exercises, upgrades, and PKI platform modernization. Provide advanced engineering support, incident response, and root cause analysis.
Leadership & Stakeholder Engagement: Serve as a PKI subject matter expert within Digital Identity – Protection. Collaborate across security, cloud, and operations teams. Mentor engineers and contribute to standards and operational excellence.
