• Lead the design and modernization of internal certificate authority (CA) platforms and supporting trust services, establishing target architectures, engineering standards, and implementation roadmaps.
• Develop enterprise patterns and best practices for automated certificate issuance, ephemeral certificate usage, workload identity, machine authentication, and crypto-agile application design.
• Architect and guide the implementation of cloud-native PKI capabilities across public cloud environments, enabling secure certificate services for modern applications, platforms, and infrastructure.
• Drive the automation and modernization of external PKI services and certificate management processes, improving scalability, reliability, operational efficiency, and risk reduction.
• Lead DTCC's technical strategy for cryptographic agility and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) adoption, evaluating emerging standards, technologies, and migration approaches while defining implementation guidance for engineering teams.
• Establish PKI reference architectures, trust models, certificate governance standards, and integration patterns that support consistent adoption across enterprise platforms and applications.
• Evaluate emerging technologies, vendor solutions, and architectural approaches to strengthen DTCC's cryptographic security posture and accelerate modernization initiatives.
• Collaborate with engineering, architecture, security, infrastructure, and application teams to ensure cryptographic requirements and trust services are embedded into enterprise technology solutions.
• Act as a trusted advisor to senior technology and business leaders, communicating PKI strategy, architecture decisions, implementation risks, and modernization priorities.
• Mentor engineers, architects, and technical leads through architecture reviews, technical guidance, and knowledge sharing, helping elevate cryptographic expertise across the organization.
