* Collaborate with security architects, application teams, and DevSecOps engineers to embed encryption management into CI/CD pipelines.
* Automate key lifecycle processes such as key generation, rotation, distribution, revocation, and decommissioning.
* Build monitoring and alerting mechanisms to detect cryptographic anomalies and improve operational efficiency.
* Ensure automation and integrations align with cryptographic policies, compliance, regulations (PCI DSS, GDPR, FIPS 140-2/3), and security best practices.
* Work closely with risk and compliance teams to provide audit trails and access control mechanisms for key and certificate operations.
* Assist in vulnerability management and patching of cryptographic components and automation workflows.
* Troubleshoot integration and automation issues, ensuring high availability and reliability of cryptographic services.
* Stay up to date on emerging encryption technologies, cloud security trends, and automation frameworks.
* Provide technical documentation and training for internal teams on cryptographic integration best practices.
