How much do pki jobs pay per hour?
What is a PKI?
A PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) job involves designing, implementing, and managing encryption and authentication systems to secure communications and data. Professionals in this role work with digital certificates, cryptographic protocols, and certificate authorities to ensure secure identities and transactions. They may be responsible for setting up key management systems, troubleshooting security issues, and enforcing cryptographic policies within an organization. PKI specialists are commonly employed in cybersecurity, IT infrastructure, and compliance teams.
What are typical daily responsibilities for a PKI specialist?
A PKI specialist is typically responsible for managing and maintaining digital certificates, configuring and operating certificate authorities (CAs), and ensuring the integrity and security of cryptographic keys throughout their lifecycle. Daily tasks may include responding to certificate requests, troubleshooting PKI-related issues, monitoring system performance, and staying updated on security best practices and regulatory requirements. They often collaborate with IT security, infrastructure, and compliance teams to implement secure identity and access management solutions. This role is critical in protecting an organization's digital assets and enabling secure communication across networks.
What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the PKI position, and why are they important?
To thrive in a PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) role, you need a solid grasp of cryptography, digital certificate management, and a background in computer science or cybersecurity. Hands-on experience with PKI management tools, certificate authorities (CA), hardware security modules (HSMs), and relevant certifications such as CISSP or CompTIA Security+ are highly valued. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills are essential for collaborating with cross-functional IT teams and ensuring secure environments. These competencies are vital for safeguarding sensitive data, maintaining regulatory compliance, and ensuring secure digital transactions within an organization.

Job description
Working in a federal IT environment, this position integrates PKI capabilities with identity platforms, network security controls, applications, and cloud services, resolving complex certificate and trust issues across heterogeneous environments. The engineer develops and enforces PKI policies, technical standards, and operational procedures, collaborating with security stakeholders to ensure resilience, compliance, and audit-ready operation of the PKI.
Key Responsibilities
- Architect, deploy, and operate PKI infrastructures, including certificate authorities, registration authorities, and OCSP/CRL services across on-premises and cloud environments.
- Design and manage scalable certificate lifecycle processes (enrollment, distribution, renewal, revocation, and automation) for large fleets of endpoints, applications, and services.
- Integrate PKI with enterprise systems such as identity platforms, VPN and Wi-Fi authentication, TLS termination, secure email, and code signing, resolving complex interoperability and trust issues.
- Implement and administer PKI platforms and tooling (for example, AD CS, commercial or cloud PKI, HSM-backed key stores, or machine identity management solutions) with appropriate backup, monitoring, and high availability.
- Define and maintain certificate policies, certification practice statements, and PKI runbooks that align with organizational and regulatory security requirements.
- Lead troubleshooting of PKI and certificate-related incidents, including chain and trust failures, protocol misconfigurations, and key management issues, and drive durable remediation.
- Provide expert guidance to security, infrastructure, and application teams on cryptographic standards, key management, and secure PKI usage patterns.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in IT, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
- 4-7 years of experience in security engineering or infrastructure roles with primary responsibility for architecting and operating PKI and certificate management solutions.
- Deep understanding of PKI architectures, including CA hierarchies, trust models, OCSP/CRL mechanisms, and certificate lifecycle controls.
- Strong familiarity with cryptographic standards and protocols such as TLS, S/MIME, and code signing, and their secure configuration in enterprise environments.
- Hands-on experience with enterprise PKI platforms and associated tooling, including integration with identity and network security services.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to document designs, policies, and operational procedures clearly.
- Ability to obtain and maintain a SECRET security clearance, with U.S. citizenship required.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience designing and operating enterprise-grade PKI in regulated or government environments, including integration with hardware security modules and security monitoring tools.
- Advanced security or PKI-focused certifications (for example, CISSP or PKI-specific credentials) that validate expertise in cryptography and certificate management.
- Experience contributing to broader security architectures, policies, and best practices that rely on PKI.
Compensation Ranges
Compensation ranges for ASM Research positions vary depending on multiple factors; including but not limited to, location, skill set, level of education, certifications, client requirements, contract-specific affordability, government clearance and investigation level, and years of experience.
