The Secrets Management Platform Engineer designs, implements, and operates a centralized enterprise secrets management platform that securely manages credentials, keys, certificates, tokens, and other sensitive authentication material across applications, services, cloud environments, and CI/CD workflows.This role is responsible for onboarding thousands of applications and services into the secrets management platform; automating credential provisioning, retrieval, and rotation; integrating secrets management into DevSecOps and cloud-native workloads; enforcing least-privilege access; and maintaining compliance through auditing, monitoring, policy enforcement, and lifecycle governance.The engineer will support AWS GovCloud and Zero Trust requirements by eliminating hard-coded credentials, implementing strong identity-based access controls, using FIPS 140-2/3 validated cryptography, and integrating with AWS KMS and approved secrets-management services.Job ResponsibilitiesOnboard applications, services, users, and machine identities into a centralized secrets management platform such as CyberArk or HashiCorp Vault, based on the selected enterprise platform.Design and implement secure processes for credential provisioning, storage, retrieval, rotation, revocation, and retirement.Integrate AWS Secrets Manager and AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store with enterprise applications and cloud-native workloads.Develop and enforce least-privilege Identity and Access Management policies for access to secrets, credentials, encryption keys, and privileged services.Automate secrets management workflows using Python, Terraform, Ansible, and approved infrastructure-as-code technologies.Integrate secrets management into CI/CD pipelines and DevSecOps workflows to eliminate manually managed or embedded credentials.Design and support secrets integration for containers, Kubernetes-based workloads, cloud services, virtual machines, and application platforms.Implement and maintain PKI and certificate management processes, including certificate issuance, renewal, rotation, revocation, and expiration monitoring.Eliminate hard-coded credentials, static passwords, embedded API keys, and unmanaged secrets from source code, configuration files, scripts, pipelines, and application deployments.Implement FIPS 140-2/3 validated cryptographic controls and integrate secrets-management solutions with AWS KMS in AWS GovCloud where required.Configure authentication methods and access policies for users, applications, workloads, and machine identities.Implement dynamic or short-lived credentials where supported to reduce reliance on long-lived static secrets.Maintain centralized auditing, logging, monitoring, and alerting for secrets access, administrative activity, credential rotation, and policy violations.Develop and enforce governance standards for secret ownership, naming, classification, access, rotation frequency, expiration, and lifecycle management.Partner with application, cloud, platform, cybersecurity, and DevSecOps teams to integrate secrets-management capabilities into enterprise architectures and development workflows.Troubleshoot authentication, authorization, credential rotation, certificate, API, and platform integration issues.Maintain technical documentation, onboarding procedures, platform standards, operational runbooks, and governance processes.Continuously improve platform availability, scalability, automation, security controls, onboarding efficiency, and operational resilience.Job QualificationsBachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology, Information Systems, or a related technical discipline.Demonstrated experience implementing or administering an enterprise secrets management platform such as CyberArk or HashiCorp Vault.Experience with AWS Secrets Manager, AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store, and AWS KMS.Strong understanding of Identity and Access Management, role-based access control, policy-based access, and least-privilege principles.Hands-on automation experience using Python, Terraform, and/or Ansible.Experience integrating secrets-management solutions with CI/CD pipelines, DevSecOps workflows, and automated deployment processes.Experience with PKI, certificate management, encryption, key management, and certificate lifecycle automation.Understanding of container and cloud security, including secrets integration for Kubernetes, containerized applications, and cloud-native workloads.Experience designing credential rotation, dynamic secrets, machine identity, and privileged-access workflows.Familiarity with FIPS 140-2/3 validated cryptography and cryptographic requirements for government or regulated environments.Experience implementing controls to identify and eliminate hard-coded credentials and unmanaged secrets.Strong understanding of Zero Trust principles, particularly least privilege, identity-based access, continuous verification, and credential minimization.Experience supporting AWS GovCloud, government, defense, or other regulated cloud environments is preferred.Experience with centralized logging, monitoring, auditing, compliance reporting, and security-event integration.Strong troubleshooting, documentation, governance, automation, and cross-functional collaboration skills.Preferred Certifications:AWS Certified Security – SpecialtyAWS Certified Solutions Architect – AssociateHashiCorp Certified: Vault Associate or applicable
