Non-Human Identities (NHI) Management Engineer

Job Description

We help the world run better
At SAP, we keep it simple: you bring your best to us, and we'll bring out the best in you. We're builders touching over 20 industries and 80% of global commerce, and we need your unique talents to help shape what's next. The work is challenging – but it matters. You'll find a place where you can be yourself, prioritize your wellbeing, and truly belong. What's in it for you? Constant learning, skill growth, great benefits, and a team that wants you to grow and succeed.

What you’ll build

• In this role, you will build and scale automated, secure, and self-service capabilities for managing non-human identities across enterprise environments.
• You will design and implement automation frameworks that govern the full lifecycle of credentials, secrets, and certificates—ensuring secure,
• compliant, and efficient access for applications, services, and pipelines.
• Your work will focus on eliminating manual processes and hardcoded credentials by integrating secrets management platforms into CI/CD pipelines, enabling dynamic and secure secrets delivery at runtime. You will develop automation to continuously discover unmanaged or misconfigured identities across cloud and on-prem landscapes, reducing risk and improving visibility.
• You will engineer event-driven workflows for credential rotation, expiry management, and policy enforcement, as well as build infrastructure-as-code patterns to standardize vault provisioning and configuration.
• A key part of your impact will be enabling application teams through self-service onboarding capabilities, accelerating adoption of secure secrets management without friction.
• By collaborating with security operations and engineering teams, you will help automate incident response and enforce security best practices, ensuring that NHI access is continuously monitored,validated, and aligned with enterprise policies.
• Your contributions will directly improve the organization’s security posture while enabling developers to innovate securely at scale.

What you bring

• Proven experience in security engineering, DevSecOps, or IAM/PAM domains, with a focus on non-human identity and secrets management
• Strong hands-on expertise with secrets management platforms (e.g., CyberArk, HashiCorp Vault, cloud-native secret managers) and their configuration (auth methods, policies, secrets engines)
• Solid understanding of NHI lifecycle management including credential rotation, certificate management, and secure onboarding practices
• Experience integrating secrets management into CI/CD pipelines and enabling secure, pipeline-native secret injection
• Proficiency in automation and infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, scripting languages such as Python or Bash)• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and containerized environments (Kubernetes) in the context of identity and secrets security
• Ability to design and implement automated workflows for discovery, rotation, policy enforcement, and compliance validation
• Strong troubleshooting skills to resolve integration and deployment challenges across platforms and applications
• Experience working cross-functionally with development, platform, and security teams, including conducting technical workshops and providing guidance
• Good to have: experience with security testing practices (including chaos testing or penetration testing support), and exposure to event-driven architectures and orchestration tools
