Are you passionate about cybersecurity, encryption, and automation in a highly secure and mission-critical environment?
Join a specialized technical team dedicated to the end-to-end management of Identity Management (IDM) and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) services, supporting secure digital operations and communication. As a PKI/IDM Engineer, you will play a central role in ensuring the continuity, compliance, and resilience of certificate services, smart card enrollment, and secure authentication mechanisms.
What you'll do
Automate and Containerize: Develop robust automation tools and scripts using Python, PowerShell, and Ansible.
Work with containerized environments (Docker/Kubernetes) to streamline deployment and scalability.
PKI Lifecycle Management: Oversee the full certificate lifecycle—from issuance to revocation—for both users and devices. Administer the Card Management System and support certificate authorities and related PKI components.
Support and Operations: Act as 2nd/3rd-level support for identity and certificate-related issues.
Manage service tickets (via ServiceNow), perform system monitoring, patching, backups, documentation, and smart card enrollments.
Contribute to Exercises and Missions: Participate in integration, testing, and deployment of secure systems in support of both project-based and operational environments.
Standards and Procedures: Draft SOPs and operational documentation. Stay current with developments in SSL/TLS, cryptography (including post-quantum), and PKI best practices.
What we're looking for
Education & experience:
Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in IT or Cybersecurity.
3+ years of experience in PKI implementation, cryptographic infrastructure, and secure networking.
Technical skills:
Strong knowledge of PKI, smart cards, digital certificates, and cryptography.
Proficient in scripting (Python, PowerShell) and working with Red Hat Linux and SQL.
Experience with automation tools (Ansible) and containerization (Kubernetes).
Familiarity with CI/CD for MLOps and post-quantum cryptographic practices is a plus.
Soft skills:
Analytical and detail-oriented with strong documentation habits.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
Able to respond to incidents and on-call support requirements with reliability and professionalism.
Security Requirement: NATO Secret security clearance is mandatory for this role.
This role is key to maintaining the integrity, availability, and security of critical infrastructure systems. If you're ready to contribute to secure, high-impact operations,apply now and take your career to the next level in identity and encryption engineering!
