[Hiring] Cybersecurity Senior Engineer @The Home Depot

Role Description

The Senior Cybersecurity Engineer – Non‑Human Identity (NHI) partners with Architecture, IAM, cloud, platform, DevOps, and application teams to design, build, and operate enterprise‑scale discovery, governance, and lifecycle automation for non‑human identities (NHIs). This role focuses on automation, collaboration, and risk reduction, helping modernize authentication patterns and reduce reliance on long‑lived credentials.

Qualifications

• Non‑Human Identity Discovery & Automation
• NHI Lifecycle & Governance
• AI Agent Identity Governance
• Basic PKI Responsibilities (Foundational)
• Key Responsibilities
• Minimum Qualifications
• Minimum Education
• Minimum Years of Work Experience
• Competencies

Requirements

• Work with IAM, Architecture, and platform teams to design and operate automated discovery capabilities for NHIs across servers, applications, cloud platforms, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Contribute to development of automation and tooling (Python, PowerShell) to:
  • Discover NHIs across infrastructure and environments.
  • Parse configuration files, logs, APIs, and Infrastructure‑as‑Code to identify embedded or hard‑coded credentials.
  • Enrich NHI metadata including ownership, purpose, environment, and lifecycle state.
  • Partner with engineering teams to automate NHI hygiene activities such as ownership validation, lifecycle tracking, and reporting.
• Collaborate with IAM, Architecture, cloud, and ITSM teams to design and integrate NHI lifecycle workflows, including onboarding, access reviews, credential rotation, and decommissioning.
• Integrate NHI workflows with enterprise platforms, including IAM and PAM solutions, Cloud IAM services, Secrets management platforms, ITSM and workflow tools.
• Support enforcement of clear ownership, purpose, and lifecycle accountability for NHIs.
• Assist with enterprise access reviews, attestations, and audit evidence generation.
• Partner with application, platform, and DevOps teams to analyze authentication flows and refactor legacy patterns toward modern, password‑less NHI designs, including managed identities, OAuth client credentials, and short‑lived tokens.
• Provide NHI context to security monitoring and incident response teams to support investigations involving service account misuse, anomalous automation behavior, or credential compromise.
• Apply data‑driven techniques such as pattern recognition, baselining, and anomaly indicators to analyze NHI usage trends and detect drift or misuse.
• Help ensure AI agents have clearly defined ownership, scoped access, and documented lifecycle expectations.
• Support certificate‑based NHIs (e.g., TLS, mTLS, client authentication) as part of broader NHI governance.
• Integrate NHI discovery and lifecycle workflows with enterprise PKI and certificate management platforms.
• Ensure certificates and private keys follow approved standards for issuance, rotation, and expiration, without direct ownership of PKI infrastructure.
• Collaborate across security, cloud, and platform engineering teams to align NHI controls with Zero Trust principles and THD security standards.
• Produce and maintain technical documentation, runbooks, and onboarding guides, and support audit and compliance activities through NHI evidence and reporting.
• Continuously improve the NHI program by identifying automation opportunities, reducing operational toil, and improving accuracy, coverage, and maturity of non‑human identity controls.

Benefits

• No travel required.
• Most of the time is spent sitting in a comfortable position with frequent opportunity to move about.
• Located in a comfortable indoor area with infrequent unpleasant conditions.
