What is a PKI Developer?

A PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) Developer is a software engineer who designs, implements, and maintains cryptographic systems that manage digital certificates and public-key encryption. They work with protocols and tools that ensure secure data exchange and authentication across networks. PKI Developers typically integrate security solutions into applications, manage certificate authorities, and enforce security policies. Their role is crucial in industries that require secure communications, such as finance, healthcare, and government.

What are typical challenges a PKI Developer faces when implementing certificate management solutions in large organizations?

PKI Developers often encounter challenges such as integrating certificate management with legacy systems, ensuring interoperability across diverse platforms, and maintaining high levels of security while automating certificate issuance and renewal. Additionally, they must address user training and awareness to prevent misuse of digital certificates and navigate compliance requirements like auditing and reporting. Collaboration with IT security, network teams, and application owners is crucial to ensure smooth deployment and ongoing support of PKI infrastructure.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a PKI Developer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a PKI Developer, you need a strong background in cryptography, computer science, and secure software development, often supported by a relevant degree or certification. Expertise in public key infrastructure (PKI) tools, certificate authorities, security protocols, and familiarity with platforms like OpenSSL or Microsoft CA is essential. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for this role. These skills are important to ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and trustworthiness of digital communications and data across organizations.

Job description

Senior PKI Engineer / SME
• Location: On-site at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) • Clearance: Active TS
• Benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, Retirement and more What This Job Feels Like
• Work centers on designing and maintaining trust models that other systems depend on, often with little margin for error. • Problems are rarely straightforward—solutions must account for vendor constraints, security requirements, and interoperability edge cases. • Ownership of PKI architecture and implementation from policy design through operational support. • High OPTEMPO; requires precision, persistence, and disciplined follow-through. What You’ll Do
• Design and manage PKI architectures, including root/intermediate hierarchies, chains of trust, and certificate lifecycle processes. • Create and maintain segmented trust models (organizational partitions, cross-domain trust, constrained intermediates). • Generate and support certificates for diverse use cases, including handling vendor-specific constraints and non-standard requirements (e.g., wildcard usage, SAN configurations, custom extensions). • Troubleshoot certificate validation issues across systems, applications, and network boundaries. • Collaborate with systems, network, and application teams to ensure certificates function correctly within their environments. • Define and enforce certificate policies, revocation strategies (CRL/OCSP), and security controls. • Mentor engineers on PKI fundamentals and correct implementation practices. Tech Knowledge / Skills
• PKI fundamentals: X.509, certificate chains, trust stores, key management • Microsoft CA, OpenSSL, and other PKI tooling • TLS/SSL, mutual authentication, certificate-based access control • CRL, OCSP, revocation and lifecycle management • Integration points: web servers, load balancers, applications, network devices Requirements
• 8+ years experience in PKI, security engineering, or related systems roles in secure/cleared environments • Active TS; must be able to obtain TS/SCI • Professional certification required; expert-level capability preferred • Demonstrated ability to design and troubleshoot PKI systems across multiple platforms and vendors • Experience with complex trust models and real-world certificate interoperability challenges
• DoD 8140 compliance required
• The likely salary range for this position is $140,000-$250,000. This is not, however, a guarantee of compensation or salary. Rather, salary will be set based on experience, and contractual agreements and could fall outside of this range.
