What is a PKI engineer?

A PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) Engineer is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining encryption and authentication systems that secure digital communications. They work with cryptographic protocols, certificate authorities (CAs), and key management systems to ensure data integrity and security. PKI Engineers typically manage digital certificates, troubleshoot security vulnerabilities, and enforce compliance with security policies. Their role is critical in industries that require strong authentication and secure communications, such as finance, healthcare, and government.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a PKI engineer?

To thrive as a PKI Engineer, you need a strong background in cybersecurity, cryptography, and network security, often supported by a degree in computer science or information technology. Experience with PKI tools such as Microsoft Certificate Services, OpenSSL, Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), and certifications like CISSP or CISM are highly beneficial. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help you excel in documenting processes and collaborating with cross-functional teams. These skills and qualifications are essential to ensure secure digital communications, prevent data breaches, and maintain regulatory compliance.

What are some common challenges faced by PKI engineers in their daily work?

PKI Engineers often encounter challenges such as managing large-scale certificate lifecycles, ensuring compatibility across diverse IT environments, and staying up-to-date with the latest security standards and vulnerabilities. Balancing the need for robust security with organizational usability and troubleshooting complex encryption issues can also be demanding. Successful PKI Engineers stay proactive in monitoring for certificate expirations, automate processes where possible, and work closely with IT, security, and compliance teams to maintain a secure and seamless infrastructure. Being adaptable and detail-oriented helps in quickly identifying and resolving issues before they escalate.

Position Overview

DTCC is looking for a hands-on PKI Engineer to support and engineer enterprise PKI and certificate infrastructure across cloud and on-premises environments.

This is an engineering role, not an operations-only certificate lifecycle management position.

Must Have

  • Certificate Lifecycle Management.
  • PKI Infrastructure.
  • PKI automation.
  • Microsoft Certificate Authority experience.
  • Hands-on engineering experience with certificate authorities.
  • PowerShell.
  • Python.
  • Ansible.

  • Automate PKI and certificate management processes.
  • Configure and maintain Microsoft Certificate Services.
  • Develop automation using PowerShell, Python, Ansible, Terraform, and/or Jenkins.
  • Support PKI infrastructure across cloud and on-premises environments.
  • Troubleshoot PKI infrastructure and certificate-related issues.
  • Improve reliability, security, and scalability of PKI services.

Important Candidate Profile

The client specifically wants an engineer who has worked on PKI infrastructure and Certificate Authorities, rather than someone whose experience is limited to certificate lifecycle operations.

Ideal Background:

  • Hands-on Microsoft Certificate Authority.
  • PKI infrastructure engineering.
  • Certificate authority configuration.
  • Automation.
  • Cloud + on-premises PKI.
  • 5–9 years of relevant experience.
