Job summary

EY seeks an AI Systems Engineer to own the security and trust fabric of EY’s AI-native platform, spanning identity, secrets, cryptography, and attestation across cloud, on‑prem, edge, and air‑gapped environments.

You will drive workload identity and confidential compute, defining trust models and attestation policies while collaborating with security, platform, and SRE teams to enable auditable and compliant workloads for regulated industries.

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 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, PKI).
• Build confidential compute environments (TDX/SEV-SNP/SGX/TrustZone) and secure DPU architecture for audit-ready isolation.
• Establish platform-wide identity model for verifiable, propagated identity across telemetry and policy enforcement.
• Own the cryptographic lifecycle: issuance, rotation, revocation, expiry of certificates and keys.
• Enforce attestation policy for trusted nodes, enclaves, and workloads with evidence for audit.
• Partner with Enterprise Security / Cloud Platform / SRE to ensure audit readiness in regulated client contexts.
