Job description

Position Title: DevOps Engineer - Certificate Management & Engineering
Work Mode: remote
Work Authorization: US Citizens, Green Card Holders, TN Visa, Green Card EAD's
Position Status: Contract
Pay Rate: $70.00 - $80.00
Position Description:
Join a dynamic team as a DevOps-focused Certificate Management & Engineering Contractor supporting enterprise operations and automation initiatives. This role is vital in enhancing certificate lifecycle management, automation workflows, and cloud/Kubernetes security efforts. You will design, develop, and implement automation solutions that streamline certificate renewal, inventory, and deployment processes, while reducing manual effort and risk. Your work will also drive modernization efforts involving Kubernetes certificate automation, code/container signing, and integration with cloud platforms to ensure security and operational excellence.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Support day-to-day certificate lifecycle operations-issuance, renewal, replacement, decommissioning-focusing on automation to reduce manual handling and expiration risks.
  • Develop and enhance automation tools for certificate deployment and renewal in modern platforms including Kubernetes with components like TLS, cert-manager, and TLSPK.
  • Build scalable automation around code and container signing workflows, establishing repeatable, standardized procedures.
  • Support platform tooling enhancements, particularly for CyberArk (Venafi) Certificate Management, and expand into cloud/Kubernetes certificate management practices leveraging machine identity solutions.
  • Improve notification and escalation workflows through scripted communications and integrated operational workflows.
  • Collaborate with engineering, security, and platform teams to ensure automation solutions are reliable, supportable, and compliant with operational standards.

Required Skills/Education:
  • Extensive experience with X.509 certificate lifecycle management: request, issue, renew, replace, decommission, inventory, and monitoring.
  • Strong PKI fundamentals: certificate authorities, chain validation, revocation, SANs, key usage, and troubleshooting deployment issues.
  • Advanced PowerShell scripting for automation, error handling, logging, secure credential management, and scheduling.
  • DevOps mindset with proven experience supporting production environments, creating reliable runbooks, monitoring, and alerting solutions.
  • Ability to work cross-functionally with security, infrastructure, and platform teams to deliver supportable automation.

Preferred Skills:
  • Experience with Venafi Trust Protection Platform / CyberArk Certificate Manager (self-hosted and Kubernetes-based).
  • Knowledge of Kubernetes cert-manager, SPIFFE/SPIRE, and cloud-based certificate management practices.
  • Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python, Bash, Golang, and Ansible.
  • Knowledge of ServiceNow, vCert, and related tooling.

Success Measures:
  • Significant reduction in manual certificate tasks and human touchpoints, especially renewal and deployment workflows.
  • Enhanced notification and escalation workflows, decreasing unanticipated expirations.
  • Deployment of operational, supportable automation for Kubernetes and cloud environments, documented and compliant with change management policies.
