• Partner with the AI Identity Governance function to operationalize new policies as AI adoption expands
• Maintain runbooks, standards and audit evidence for machine and AI identity access controls to support compliance and audit readiness
• Report on NHI access risk, rotation coverage and remediation metrics to security leadership

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in privileged access management, identity security or infrastructure security engineering
• Hands-on experience operating a PAM platform (CyberArk, HashiCorp Vault, Delinea, BeyondTrust or equivalent) in production
• Practical experience managing secrets, service account credentials or machine-to-machine authentication at enterprise scale
• Working knowledge of AI agent and MCP server architectures and how they authenticate and request access to systems and data
• Familiarity with least-privilege and just-in-time access models applied to non-human identities
• Strong scripting or automation skills (Python, PowerShell or Terraform) to operate PAM controls at scale
• Solid understanding of cloud IAM in at least one major provider (AWS, Azure or GCP)

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience integrating PAM platforms with cloud secrets managers (AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault) or CI/CD pipelines
• Familiarity with SPIFFE/SPIRE, mTLS or other workload identity standards
• Exposure to AI/ML platform engineering or LLM application infrastructure
