Senior Cybersecurity Engineer - Non-Human Identity (Remote)

About the role

The Home Depot is hiring a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer focused on Non-Human Identities (NHI), working remotely. The role partners with Architecture, IAM, cloud, platform, DevOps and application teams to design, build and operate enterprise-scale discovery, governance and lifecycle automation for service accounts, API tokens, cloud IAM roles, automation identities, CI/CD identities and AI agents across on-premises, hybrid and multi-cloud environments. It focuses on automation, collaboration and risk reduction, and helps modernize authentication patterns away from long-lived credentials.

Key responsibilities

• Design and operate automated discovery of NHIs across servers, applications, cloud platforms and CI/CD pipelines, using Python and PowerShell to parse configuration files, logs and APIs for embedded credentials
• Build tooling to enrich NHI metadata (ownership, purpose, environment, lifecycle state) and automate hygiene activities such as ownership validation, lifecycle tracking and reporting
• Design and integrate NHI lifecycle workflows (onboarding, access reviews, credential rotation, decommissioning) with IAM, PAM, cloud IAM, secrets management, ITSM and workflow tools
• Support access reviews, attestations and audit evidence, and help refactor legacy authentication flows toward managed identities, OAuth client credentials and short-lived tokens
• Provide NHI context to security monitoring and incident response, and use pattern recognition and anomaly detection to spot misuse or drift
• Support onboarding and governance of AI agents as NHIs, with defined ownership, scoped access and documented lifecycle expectations
• Support certificate-based NHIs (TLS, mTLS, client authentication) and integrate workflows with enterprise PKI and certificate management, following standards for issuance, rotation and expiration
• Align NHI controls with Zero Trust principles and THD security standards, and produce technical documentation, runbooks and onboarding guides
• Design automation workflows for data collection, investigation and incident response, and propose new technologies and approaches to detect malicious activity
