• Knowledge of privileged access tools (Azure PIM, CyberArk, etc.), secrets management (HashiCorp or Azure Key Vault), and workload identity patterns (SPIFFE & SPIRE).
• Familiarity with NHI governance concepts for service accounts and AI agents, and exposure to OPA / Rego or similar policy‑as‑code frameworks.
