Your Team & Role

As a Director, Infrastructure Security Engineer for Identity Governance and Administration, you will serve as a hands-on technical expert responsible for the architecture, delivery, and day-to-day operations of our security infrastructure platforms spanning Privileged Access Management (PAM), Secrets Management, and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). You will specialize in one of these domains while contributing across the others, designing, building, operating, and continuously improving these critical platforms alongside product owners, tech leads, and engineering teams.

This role is for a highly skilled engineer who thrives on solving complex technical challenges and brings strong product knowledge in Cyber Ark Privileged Cloud, Hashi Corp Vault, or Keyfactor Command and EJBCA. You will drive automation, integrations, and operational excellence while ensuring all solutions meet Information Security Standards and regulatory requirements.

Key Responsibilities You will own one or more of the following platform areas and contribute across the others: - (PAM) Administer and mature Cyber Ark Privileged Cloud — onboarding privileged accounts, configuring CPM/PSM/PVWA components, building safe structures, defining connectors, and integrating with enterprise identity and SIEM platforms

• (Secrets) Architect, deploy, and operate Hashi Corp Vault clusters — managing secrets engines (KV, PKI, database, AWS/Azure), auth methods (LDAP, App Role, Kubernetes), policies, leases, and DR/replication configurations

• (PKI) Design, implement, and operate PKI platforms including Keyfactor Command and EJBCA — managing certificate authorities, certificate lifecycle automation, enrollment profiles, and integrations with enterprise systems

• Build and maintain automation using Python, Go, Ansible, Terraform, and REST APIs to streamline platform operations, integrations, and self-service workflows

• Develop and document platform patterns, runbooks, and self-service capabilities that enable application teams to consume PAM, Secrets Management, and PKI services consistently and at scale

• Ensure platform security throughout the product lifecycle — integrating new features, responding to vulnerability disclosures, applying patches, and validating configurations against security baselines

• Support audit and compliance engagements (PCI-DSS, SOX, and regulatory) by defining controls, producing evidence, and driving remediation for PAM, Secrets Management, and PKI findings

• Collaborate with product owners and tech leads to define feature stories, technical design, and deliver robust, high-impact solutions

The Skills & Expertise You Bring

• 10+ years of experience in infrastructure or security engineering, with 5+ years focused on PAM, secrets management, or PKI platforms

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent hands-on experience

• Ability to work independently with minimal guidance — a hands-on practitioner who can architect, operate, and troubleshoot platforms end-to-end

• Strong problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills with the ability to influence technical direction across teams

• Understanding of risk management, compliance frameworks, and business context needed to make sound technical decisions aligned to the company's security posture
