VPKI Architect with a focus on zero trust model - US$5000 /month (remote)

"Zero trust is a cybersecurity paradigm focused on resource protection and the premise that trust is never granted implicitly but must be continually evaluated.” - NIST SP 800-207 Modern Public Key Infrastructure relies on the Zero Trust Architecture with a focus on device management and modern authentication/access control models.

The VPKI architect will design a scalable SCMS solution with a zero-trust model focused on identity, device, network, real-time applications and data.

Minimum qualification

• MS degree (or equivalent experience) in Computer or Electrical Engineering with at least 7 years of experience or PhD degree in Computer or Electrical Engineering with at least 5 years of experience in software development, system design, and architecture

Responsibilities

• Design a scalable PKI system with elastic resource management with stringent requirements for latency, scalability and reliability
• Review different Multi-access Edge Compute (MEC) models and develop microservices for SCMS components
• Design big data streaming solutions at scale using Istio, Kafka and Flink
• Leverage the latest tools for authentication and authorization (e.g., OAuth 2.0, Attribute-based crypto, OpenID connect), ID management and SIEM systems.

Required Skills

• Expert in designing Defense in Depth Security solutions and familiarity with industries’ best practices, procedures and policies with Zero Trust models.
• Deep knowledge in scaling algorithms including the CAP theorem and its variants.
• Familiaty with ML models that include Online ensemble learning, Kalman filtering, Reinforcement learning, and Graph machine learning.
