Role Overview:
Novia Infotech is seeking a highly skilled Senior IAM Engineer with specialized expertise in Delinea PAM (Secret Server & Privilege Manager) for a critical contract role. This position is instrumental in enhancing our client’s security posture by eliminating standing privileges, securing sensitive credentials, and enforcing the principle of least privilege across diverse infrastructure, cloud, and DevOps environments. The ideal candidate will possess a deep understanding of Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions and a proven ability to architect, implement, and optimize complex PAM ecosystems.
Core Responsibilities:
- Delinea Architecture & Implementation: Lead the end-to-end implementation, scaling, and ongoing management of Delinea Secret Server (both On-Premises and Cloud) and Delinea Privilege Manager. Architect robust distributed engines and define granular secret policies to meet stringent security requirements. Design and implement scalable, secure, and resilient PAM infrastructure.
- Secret & Credential Management: Configure and maintain critical PAM functionalities including secret heartbeat monitoring, Remote Password Changing (RPC), and secure check-out/check-in workflows. Securely manage service accounts, local administrator, and root credentials. Automate the lifecycle management of privileged accounts to reduce manual intervention and enhance security.
- Secure Remote Access (SRA): Implement and manage VPN-less remote access solutions, such as Delinea PRA, to provide secure, audited access for internal administrators and third-party vendors. Configure session proxy and session recording capabilities for high-risk privileged sessions to ensure accountability and compliance.
- Endpoint & Least Privilege Enforcement: Configure and deploy application control and elevation policies using Delinea Privilege Manager to enforce least privilege principles across all endpoints. Focus on eliminating unnecessary full local administrator access rights.
- Hybrid & Cloud Integration: Ensure seamless interoperability between Delinea’s on-premises solutions and cloud-based identity management services like Azure PIM and Microsoft Entra ID. Configure conditional access policies and managed identities to create a unified and secure identity posture across hybrid environments.
- Integration & Automation: Integrate Delinea PAM solutions with essential enterprise systems including Active Directory/Azure AD, SIEM platforms (e.g., Microsoft Sentinel), and ServiceNow for streamlined operations and enhanced visibility. Automate the discovery of unmanaged privileged accounts across Windows, Linux/Unix, and network devices. Leverage scripting languages like PowerShell or Python to automate Delinea API operations and utilize SQL for generating compliance reports and extracting critical data.
- Compliance & Audit: Generate comprehensive, audit-ready reports to demonstrate compliance with internal policies and external regulations. Lead the remediation efforts for any identified privileged access findings and ensure PAM controls are consistently aligned with relevant compliance standards (e.g., SOX, HIPAA, PCI DSS).
Technical Requirements:
- Minimum of 5 years of overall Identity and Access Management (IAM) experience.
- A minimum of 3 years of dedicated, hands-on experience with Delinea PAM solutions is mandatory.
- Deep expertise in Delinea Secret Server, including configuration of Distributed Engines and Secret Policies.
- Strong experience with Delinea Privilege Manager, specifically in application control and elevation policy configuration.
- Significant experience with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) and Azure PIM (Privileged Identity Management).
- Solid understanding and experience with Windows Server, Active Directory, and Group Policy Objects (GPO).
- Experience working within Linux/Unix environments.
- Proficiency in scripting languages such as PowerShell or Python for automation tasks.
- SQL proficiency for data extraction and reporting purposes.
Key Competencies:
- Demonstrated deep technical Subject Matter Expert (SME) level expertise in Delinea PAM.
- Exceptional troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
- Proven ability to design and architect scalable and secure PAM solutions.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively engage with various stakeholders.
- Experience working in enterprise IAM professional services environments is highly desirable.
