Lead Privileged Access Management; PAM Engineer

As a Senior / Lead Engineer in the CISO organization, you will serve as a technical authority for DTCC’s Privileged Access Management (PAM) platforms. You will design, build, and operate highly available, secure PAM services across hybrid environments, ensuring privileged access is controlled, observable, and resilient.

• Competitive compensation, including base pay and annual incentive pay.
• Comprehensive health and life insurance and well‑being benefits, based on location.

• DTCC offers a flexible/hybrid model of 3 days onsite and 2 days remote (onsite Tuesdays, Wednesdays and a third day unique to each team or employee).

• Design and evolve the PAM platform architecture with a focus on scalability, resilience (HA/DR), and security‑by‑design.
• Drive platform maturity:
  Implement sophisticated capabilities (JIT access, session recording, credential vaulting, API integrations) and standardize onboarding of new systems. Implement and maintain end‑to‑end observability for PAM platforms using monitoring, logging, and alerting tools (e.g., Splunk, Prometheus, Grafana, or equivalent).
• Governance & compliance:
  Establish policies for privileged account lifecycle, enforce password complexity and rotation, and ensure audit readiness for SOX, PCI, and internal controls.
• Automation & integration:
  Embed PAM into CI/CD pipelines and workflows; develop scripts and connectors for automated provisioning and session management.
• Operational excellence:
  Monitor PAM performance, lead incident response for privileged access breaches, and conduct root‑cause analysis and remediation.
• Stakeholder engagement:
  Communicate platform health, roadmap, and risk posture to senior leadership; manage vendor relationships and licensing.
• Act as a mentor for other engineers—reviewing designs, code, and operational practices.
• Disaster recovery readiness:
  Participate in DR exercises and ensure PAM resilience in loss‑of‑region scenarios.
