Job summary

EY is seeking AI Systems Engineers to own the security and trust fabric of EY's AI-native platform, spanning cloud, on-prem, edge, and air-gapped environments. You will manage workload identity, secrets, PKI, and attestation across multiple tenants with a security-first mindset.

Role emphasizes reproducible trust, auditability, and compliance, with collaboration across Enterprise Security, Cloud Platform, and SRE to ensure governance and regulatory readiness.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Security, or related technical field, or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years in security engineering, identity/PKI, or trust infrastructure, with hands-on production ownership.
• Deep, hands-on expertise with workload identity (SPIRE/SPIFFE), IAM (Keycloak/Entra ID), and secrets management (OpenBao/Vault).
• Strong grounding in PKI, X.509 certificate lifecycle (cert-manager), key management, and transit encryption.
• Working experience with confidential compute and hardware attestation (TDX, SEV-SNP, SGX, NVIDIA CC, or equivalents) and secure boot (Intel TXT).
• Experience delivering identity and secrets consistently across multi-tenant, multi-environment (cloud/on-prem/edge/air-gapped) platforms.
• Proven track record operating under compliance, security, or regulatory constraints with audit-grade evidence requirements.
• Ability to define clean ownership boundaries and consumption contracts with platform, data, and runtime teams.

Responsibilities

• Own workload identity and secrets management across environments (SPIRE/ODIS, Keycloak/Entra ID, OpenBao, cert-manager).
• Build confidential compute environments (TEE, secure boot) to ensure isolation and audit-readiness.
• Establish the platform-wide identity model for verifiable, propagated identity end-to-end.
• Own the cryptographic lifecycle: issuance, rotation, revocation, expiry with no long-lived credentials.
• Enforce attestation policy for nodes/enclaves/workloads and capture evidence for audit.
• Partner with Enterprise Security/Cloud Platform/SRE for independent review and regulatory alignment.
