  • Collaborate with Security, PKI, DevOps, Infrastructure, and Application teams to automate certificate operations.
  • Develop reusable tools and utilities to simplify certificate lifecycle management.
  • Integrate automation into CI/CD pipelines to improve deployment efficiency.
  • Troubleshoot application, automation, and certificate-related issues across Windows and Linux environments.
  • Participate in application design, code reviews, testing, and production deployments.
  • Document technical solutions, automation workflows, and operational procedures.

Required Qualifications
  • 5+ years of software development experience using C# and .NET.
  • Strong experience developing automation using PowerShell.
  • Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs.
  • Solid understanding of object-oriented programming, design patterns, and secure coding practices.
  • Experience working with Windows Server environments.
  • Familiarity with Git, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, or similar CI/CD tools.
  • Exposure to PKI concepts, SSL/TLS certificates, digital certificates, encryption, or certificate lifecycle management.
  • Understanding of certificate provisioning, renewal, revocation, and certificate authorities.
  • Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration abilities.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with Venafi Trust Protection Platform (TPP) or other enterprise certificate management solutions.
  • Experience integrating with Venafi APIs or similar security platforms.
  • Knowledge of PKI infrastructure, Certificate Authorities (CA), HSMs, and machine identity management.
  • Experience with Ansible, Infrastructure as Code, or configuration management tools.
  • Exposure to Docker, Kubernetes, or containerized applications.
  • Experience with cloud platforms such as Azure, AWS, or GCP.
  • Background in DevSecOps or Security Automation.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related discipline.
