Job Description:
ICAM Privileged Access Management (PAM) Engineer
GDIT has an opportunity for a Privileged Access Management (PAM) Engineer to design, implement, and maintain enterprise privileged access capabilities supporting the DoD ICAM mission. This role ensures secure credential handling, privileged account lifecycle governance, session monitoring, and Zero Trust–aligned access protections across distributed and mission‑critical environments.
The role focuses heavily on CyberArk PAM engineering while incorporating the emerging Xage platform to secure privileged access in operational and distributed systems.
This is an onsite position.
Meaningful Work and Personal Impact:
The ideal candidate is a hands‑on PAM engineer with deep experience integrating CyberArk technologies, automating credential workflows, onboarding privileged accounts, and supporting secure access to sensitive systems. Experience with Xage or similar distributed mesh cybersecurity architectures is a strong differentiator.
Your work directly protects high‑value assets, reduces insider and external risk, supports audit readiness, and helps implement Zero Trust principles across enterprise and mission‑partner environments.
Key Responsibilities:
Engineer, deploy, configure, and maintain CyberArk components including Vault, CPM, PSM, PVWA, PTA, and credential onboarding workflows.
Integrate PAM controls with Active Directory, LDAP, Windows/Linux servers, cloud platforms, databases, network devices, and mission applications.
Implement and support Xage mesh security technologies for distributed privileged access use cases and operational technology (OT) environments.
Develop and maintain privileged account onboarding processes, credential rotation policies, access control rules, and session monitoring configurations.
Configure and maintain privileged session recording, auditing, and behavioral analytics to detect anomalous access activity.
Partner with cybersecurity, ICAM, and operations teams to define PAM governance standards, access policies, and Zero Trust access controls.
Develop automation workflows (PowerShell/Python/API integrations) to improve onboarding, access provisioning, and compliance reporting.
Perform root cause analysis, troubleshooting, and incident response for PAM‑related issues.
Maintain detailed documentation including architecture diagrams, SOPs, onboarding guides, security procedures, and integration patterns.
Support audit requirements by ensuring privileged access logs, reports, and system configurations meet compliance standards.
Support continuous improvement by recommending enhancements to datasets, transformations, and visualization techniques.
Basic Qualifications:
Active Secret Clearance at minimum. Interim Secret Clearances are not allowed.
Bachelor’s Degree in a related technical discipline and 8 yrs experience, or the equivalent combination of education, technical certifications or training, or work experience.
DoD 8140 certification (Security+ CE or higher)
Required Skills/Knowledge:
Strong CyberArk engineering experience (Vault, CPM, PSM, PVWA, PTA)
Experience with privileged user lifecycle management, credential rotation, and session recording
Ability to design PAM integrations across Windows, Linux, network devices, cloud platforms, and databases
Understanding of authentication, authorization, MFA, Zero Trust, and secure access governance principles
Experience troubleshooting PAM failures, onboarding issues, connectivity/agent problems, and session recording gaps
