Develop and maintain documentation, runbooks, and operational readiness materials
Support production changes and assist with critical issues, including occasional after-hours escalations
Required Qualifications

1-2 years of software development experience (ability to read and interpret code)
Experience with CyberArk Password Vault or similar PAM solutions
Familiarity with identity governance tools (e.g., SailPoint)
CISSP or other relevant security certifications
Experience in regulated industries such as financial services or healthcare (HIPAA familiarity is a plus)
