Summary

Systems Engineering Services is seeking a PKI Architect based in the Washington, DC area. This will require at minimum 3 days in office in Downtown DC area.

Position Overview

We are looking for a PKI Architect to join our cybersecurity team. In this role you will design and maintain our Public Key Infrastructure, lead gap analysis efforts, and serve as the go-to expert for identifying and triaging the organization's highest-priority cryptographic vulnerabilities. You should be equally comfortable operating at the architecture level and rolling up your sleeves to resolve critical security issues hands-on.

Responsibilities

Design, deploy, and maintain enterprise PKI solutions including Certificate Authorities, Registration Authorities, and certificate lifecycle management.
Conduct gap analyses to evaluate the current PKI posture against industry standards (NIST, CMMC, DoD) and produce prioritized remediation roadmaps.
Identify and triage highest-priority PKI and cryptographic vulnerabilities across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.
Develop and enforce PKI policies, standards, and procedures for certificate issuance, renewal, and revocation.
Collaborate with security, networking, and application teams to integrate PKI across the broader technology stack.
Provide SME support during incident response activities related to certificate misuse or compromise.
Document architecture decisions, risk assessments, and PKI roadmaps for technical and executive audiences.

Required Skills & Experience

7+ years of hands-on PKI experience design, implementation, and day-to-day operations.
Strong working knowledge of X.509 certificates, TLS/SSL, OCSP, CRL, HSMs, and certificate lifecycle platforms.
Demonstrated gap analysis experience with the ability to translate findings into actionable plans.
Solid cybersecurity background spanning identity, network, application, and/or cloud security domains.
Experience with PKI platforms such as Microsoft ADCS, Venafi, DigiCert, Entrust, HashiCorp Vault, or equivalent.
Ability to both architect solutions and directly triage critical vulnerabilities under time pressure.
