This is a 100% remote position.

In this role, you will:

• Our client is seeking a DevOps-focused contractor to support Operations and Automation workstreams across enterprise certificate lifecycle management.
• This role will help design, build, and run automation that reduces manual certificate work, improves reliability, and strengthens security outcomes—covering X.509 certificate inventory/renewal automation, notification and escalation workflows, and integrations with operational ticketing processes.
• The contractor will also support modernization initiatives that expand CME capabilities into Kubernetes certificate automation and code/container signing, including integration patterns and tooling used to manage certificates and machine identities in cloud/Kubernetes environments.

The skills we are looking for in this role include:

• Certificates / X.509 lifecycle management experience (request/issue/renew/replace/decommission, inventory/monitoring, risk reduction).
• PKI fundamentals (CAs, chains, key usage, SANs, revocation, policy constraints; ability to troubleshoot certificate path and deployment issues).
• PowerShell (advanced scripting for automation, error handling, logging, packaging, scheduling, and secure credential handling).
• DevOps/automation mindset with production support experience (building reliable runbooks, monitoring/alerting hooks, and operational handoffs).
• Ability to work cross-functionally with security, infrastructure, and platform teams to deliver automation that is operationally supportable.
