  • Lead design and review of complex PAM solutions, including architecture decisions, patterns/standards, and integration approaches across infrastructure and applications.
  • Drive standardization and operational maturity (e.g., onboarding patterns, credential rotation standards, JEP policy conventions, break-glass processes, and audit readiness).
  • Identify opportunities for automation and self-service, improving onboarding speed, reducing manual effort, and increasing reliability (e.g., workflow integrations with ServiceNow, scripting, API-based automation).
  • Lead or support major initiatives such as platform upgrades, migrations, new capability rollouts, and resilience improvements (HA/DR, monitoring strategy, capacity planning).
  • Provide technical mentorship through code/config reviews, troubleshooting support, knowledge sharing, and development of runbooks and engineering playbooks.
  • Own and improve key operational outcomes such as SLA/SLO performance, incident reduction, root cause remediation, and continuous improvement backlog management.
