About our Cybersecurity Team

Are you ready to make an impact with one of the world’s leading technology companies? HPE’s Cybersecurity team is where you can do just that. We’re looking for an experienced and visionary Principal Secrets Management Architect to join our global Cybersecurity organization. If you’re passionate about protecting credentials, designing enterprise-scale secrets management solutions, and leading modernization across hybrid environments, this is the role for you.

About the Role

As a Principal Secrets Management Architect in the Identity and Access Management team, you will serve as the enterprise subject matter expert (SME) and technical leader for secrets management and credential security across HPE. You will be responsible for the architecture, design, and implementation of secure, scalable, and automated secrets management solutions leveraging HashiCorp Vault and other enterprise-grade technologies.

This role will lead end-to-end strategy and execution for secrets management — from platform design and integration to lifecycle governance and automation. You will work closely with IAM, PAM, DevSecOps, and application security teams to embed secrets management into enterprise identity and access controls.

Key Responsibilities

Architecture & Strategy

• Define the enterprise secrets management strategy, standards, and reference architectures aligned to HPE’s Zero Trust and IAM frameworks
• Architect and design scalable secrets management solutions for hybrid environments — on-premises, private cloud, and public cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Lead the adoption of HashiCorp Vault Enterprise as the core platform for secrets storage, rotation, and access governance
• Establish patterns for dynamic secrets, short-lived credentials, and API-based access control
• Partner with enterprise architects, IAM, and DevSecOps leaders to define integration patterns and security models across platforms

Technical Oversight & Implementation

• Serve as the technical lead and SME for the design, configuration, and deployment of HashiCorp Vault Enterprise (Performance Replication, DR, Namespaces, PKI, Secrets Engines, and Authentication Methods)
• Lead the integration of secrets management with PAM, CI/CD pipelines, cloud workloads, and container platforms (Kubernetes, Docker)
• Implement policy-based access controls (RBAC, namespaces, AppRoles, OIDC, JWT) and automated credential rotation
• Design and deploy audit logging, monitoring, and event correlation with SIEM/SOAR platforms
• Support migration from legacy password vaults or static key stores to centralized secrets management platforms
• Oversee performance tuning, disaster recovery, and lifecycle management for enterprise secrets management services

Security & Compliance

• Define and enforce governance, access policies, and lifecycle controls for secrets and credentials
• Ensure secrets management aligns with corporate and regulatory compliance standards (SOX, FedRAMP, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53)
• Conduct threat modeling and risk assessments for secret exposure and credential misuse scenarios
• Partner with audit and compliance teams to demonstrate control effectiveness and continuous compliance

Leadership & Collaboration

• Act as the enterprise SME and advisor to cybersecurity, IAM, DevSecOps, and infrastructure teams on secrets management best practices
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineers and developers implementing secrets management integrations
• Drive adoption across business units, ensuring consistent design patterns, automation, and governance models
• Collaborate with product vendors and open-source communities to stay ahead of emerging capabilities and vulnerabilities in secrets management technologies

About You

You are a senior cybersecurity professional with deep hands-on and architectural expertise in secrets management, privileged access, and identity security. You thrive in designing scalable, secure, and automated credential management solutions, and are equally comfortable being the technical authority, mentor, and execution lead. You combine strategy with hands-on delivery and excel at driving enterprise adoption across diverse teams and environments.

Education & Experience Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
• 10+ years of IT or Cybersecurity experience, with 8+ years focused on secrets management, PAM, and IAM in enterprise environments
• Proven experience in architecture, design, and implementation of enterprise-grade secrets management platforms
• Deep hands-on expertise with HashiCorp Vault Enterprise (auth methods, secrets engines, replication, DR, PKI, namespaces, APIs)
• Experience integrating secrets management with PAM platforms (e.g., CyberArk, BeyondTrust) and DevOps toolchains (Jenkins, GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, Kubernetes)
• Strong understanding of Zero Trust, Just-in-Time access, and ephemeral credential concepts
• Proficiency in scripting and automation (PowerShell, Python, Terraform, or similar)
• Familiarity with cloud-native identity services (AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, GCP Secret Manager)
• Experience in enterprise security governance, audit readiness, and regulatory compliance frameworks
