• Scripting & Automation: Ability to automate PAM lifecycle tasks (discovery, onboarding, credential rotation, reporting) using PowerShell/Python and Delinea REST APIs, including error handling, logging, and idempotent execution.
• Networking & Infrastructure: Proficient in troubleshooting and designing network connectivity for PAM components (DNS, TLS, firewalls/ports, proxies, load balancers) to support secure agent communications and distributed services.
• DevOps & Cloud Technologies: Experience integrating PAM into CI/CD and cloud operations using tools like Git, pipelines, IaC (Terraform/ARM/CloudFormation), and cloud IAM services (Azure/AWS/GCP) to manage privileged access in modern delivery environments.
