Role Overview :

We are looking for a highly skilled Automation Engineer specializing in Non-Human Identity (NHI) security and Secrets Management. This role focuses on designing and implementing scalable automation frameworks to manage the lifecycle of machine identities, including credential rotation, certificate renewal, and secure onboarding workflows. You will work at the intersection of security, DevOps, and platform engineering, enabling seamless and secure integrations across CI/CD pipelines and enterprise systems.

Primary Skills :

- Credential Rotation & Lifecycle Management

- Certificate Renewal Automation

- Onboarding Workflows for Secrets Management

- CI/CD Integration & Pipeline-Native Secrets Injection

- Event-Driven Workflow Engineering (rotation triggers, alerts, policy remediation)

Key Responsibilities :

- Design and implement end-to-end automation frameworks for NHI lifecycle management, including automated credential rotation, certificate renewal, and secrets onboarding workflows.

- Build and maintain robust integrations between secrets management platforms and CI/CD pipelines, enabling secure, pipeline-native secrets injection without hardcoding credentials.

- Develop automated discovery solutions to identify unmanaged, orphaned, or misconfigured non-human identities across cloud and on-premise environments.

- Engineer event-driven workflows to handle credential rotation triggers, expiry alerts, anomaly detection, and policy violation remediation in real time.

- Automate the provisioning, scaling, and configuration of vault and secrets infrastructure using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform or similar.

- Enable self-service onboarding capabilities for application teams, reducing dependency on security teams while ensuring adherence to security policies.

- Define and implement automated testing and validation pipelines for secrets configurations, access policies, and compliance checks.

- Collaborate closely with Security Operations (SecOps) to automate incident response playbooks related to NHI risks, breaches, or policy violations.

- Create and maintain comprehensive technical documentation, including architecture diagrams, runbooks, API documentation, and onboarding guides.

- Continuously evaluate and integrate emerging tools and technologies in automation, orchestration, and secrets management to enhance platform capabilities.

Required Skills & Qualifications :

- Strong experience in Secrets Management tools (e.g., HashiCorp Vault or equivalent)

- Should have 7+ years of experience in similar role

- Hands-on expertise in CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, etc.)

- Proficiency in Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc.)

- Experience with event-driven architectures and automation frameworks

- Knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and hybrid environments

- Strong scripting skills (Python, Bash, or similar)

- Understanding of identity and access management (IAM) and security best practices

- Experience with API integrations and microservices architecture
