Responsibilities

• Generate and provision SSL/TLS certificates using industry-standard tools and certificate authorities (CAs), managing the complete request-to-issuance workflow while maintaining secure key storage and documentation.
• Monitor certificate expiration dates proactively and execute timely renewals to prevent service disruptions, maintaining 100% uptime during renewal processes.
• Design and implement automated certificate management solutions that streamline generation, installation, and renewal processes, reducing manual intervention and human error through scripting and orchestration.
• Integrate certificate management with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code platforms, and container orchestration systems (Kubernetes, Docker) to enable continuous and automated certificate operations.
• Ensure compliance with organizational security policies and industry standards, maintaining secure handling of certificate-related credentials, keys, and conducting regular security audits.
• Troubleshoot and resolve certificate-related issues across development, operations, and security environments, providing technical support and escalation handling for production incidents.
• Hands-on experience with Keyfactor Command (CLM) for automated discovery, lifecycle management and renewal at scale.
• Strong understanding of PKI fundamentals — certificate chains, key algorithms (RSA/ECC), CSR generation, CRL/AIA/OCSP, and key ceremonies.
• Create comprehensive documentation, runbooks, and training materials on certificate management procedures and best practices, enabling team members to support certificate operations independently.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of hands-on experience in certificate management, PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) administration, or related security infrastructure roles.
• Strong technical knowledge of SSL/TLS protocols, certificate formats (X.509, PEM, DER, PKCS#12), and their implementation across various platforms and environments.
• Proficiency with certificate authorities including commercial CAs (DigiCert, GlobalSign, Sectigo) and open-source solutions (Let's Encrypt, OpenSSL-based CAs).
• Advanced proficiency with certificate management tools such as OpenSSL, keytool, certbot, and platform-specific certificate management utilities.
• Hands-on experience administering and configuring web servers (Apache, Nginx) and application servers (Tomcat, JBoss, IIS) with certificate installations.
• Demonstrated expertise in Linux/Unix and Windows server environments, including command-line administration and system-level operations.
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code and automation frameworks such as Terraform, Ansible, Chef, or Puppet for managing certificate deployments at scale.
• Knowledge of monitoring and alerting platforms to implement certificate status tracking, expiration monitoring, and incident notification systems.
• Perform routine CA maintenance: database backups, CA certificate renewal, CRL/AIA rollover planning, and root/subordinate CA key ceremonies as needed.
• Troubleshoot ADCS-related issues — enrollment failures, template permission issues, autoenrollment failures, SPN/Kerberos-related errors (e.g., WSMAN SPN issues for remote enrollment/orchestration).
• Excellent organizational, communication, and problem-solving abilities with strong attention to detail, ability to document procedures clearly, and communicate technical concepts effectively.
