Senior CyberArk Engineer [Interim]

CyberArk Engineer

Interim / Contract  |  100% Remote (CET working hours preferred)  | 6 months rolling engagement — multi-year programme

Our client, a major European grocery retail group, is running a business-critical programme to modernise and secure Identity and Access Management across its operations in Belgium, Serbia, Greece and Romania. A central pillar is onboarding all business-critical and cyber-critical assets onto a centralised Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution — built on CyberArk and complemented by Azure Entra PIM for cloud-native workloads — supporting Zero Trust principles across hybrid, multi-cloud and on-premises environments.

You join an established team of CyberArk engineers, working alongside a global PAM function, as the programme scales up its onboarding capacity. You report to the regional IAM Team Leader and own privileged-access use cases end-to-end — from first engagement with an application owner, through technical onboarding and testing, to formal sign-off and operational handover.

Responsibilities

Application & infrastructure onboarding (core of the role)

You own privileged-access onboarding use cases end-to-end across network devices, infrastructure platforms, databases, cloud workloads and business applications.

You run application-owner discovery: leading intake meetings, completing intake forms, and capturing server, database, web-layer and privileged-role detail per use case.

You onboard accounts into CyberArk: duplicating and configuring platforms, creating Safes, assigning accounts, and configuring CPM password rotation and PSM / PSM-for-SSH session management.

You coordinate UAT with application owners through to closure: collecting evidence, securing formal sign-off, updating the Safe repository and handing over to Operations.

You keep the onboarding tracker and Jira board current, logging newly discovered access layers as separate tickets for scope traceability.

Account & credential management

You onboard and manage both personal privileged accounts and non-personal / service accounts.

You configure credential vaulting and automated rotation, and manage resource and group mappings for onboarded accounts.

You support self-service and API-driven onboarding at scale (e.g. REST-API store rollouts).

Connectors, integration & troubleshooting

You configure and support core CyberArk components: Digital Vault, PVWA, CPM, PSM, PSM for SSH (PSMP) and Credential Provider (AAM / CCP).

You diagnose and resolve onboarding blockers — CPM rotation failures, PSM/PKI certificate and CRL issues, LDAP integration, GPO/NTLM and network-connectivity problems.

You support platform activities such as Vault upgrades and primary-site switches, including re-verification of custom plugins post-upgrade.

Stakeholder engagement & delivery coordination

You act as first point of contact for application teams, engaging owners, vendors and regional / platform teams (network, storage, database, SAP Basis) to unblock onboarding.

You drive resistant application owners to commitment, using programme wave initiatives and business-security-advisor input as leverage.

You contribute to PAM strategy and architectural decisions and feed sizing / effort data into PI planning.

Documentation & compliance

You maintain documentation on configurations, onboarding processes, Safe repositories and audit controls.

You support break-glass, vaulting-standard and Definition-of-Done work in line with programme requirements.

Job requirements

3+ years hands-on experience in CyberArk engineering and administration (on-premises; SaaS exposure an advantage).

Strong knowledge of CyberArk components: Digital Vault, PVWA, CPM, PSM, PSM for SSH (PSMP), AAM / Credential Provider (CCP).

Proven end-to-end application and infrastructure onboarding experience: discovery, platform / Safe configuration, CPM rotation, PSM session management, UAT and sign-off.

Strong troubleshooting across CPM rotation, PKI/CRL and certificate issues, LDAP integration and network connectivity.

Confident, customer-facing engagement with application owners, vendors and platform teams; able to drive resistant stakeholders to commitment.

Familiarity with Jira-based delivery tracking and disciplined intake / documentation and compliance evidence collection.

Fluent in English.

The following are a plus:

Experience configuring web and SSH connectors, and developing or customising CPM plugins and PSM connectors for non-standard targets (e.g. thick-client and homegrown applications).

Proficiency in PowerShell and the CyberArk REST API for automation and bulk / self-service onboarding.

Working knowledge of Azure Entra ID / Entra PIM and how PAM complements directory services.

Why this role

This is a hands-on engineering seat on a multi-year, business-critical security programme at significant scale — securing privileged access across four countries and a broad estate of infrastructure, cloud and application systems. You’ll have real ownership of your use cases end-to-end, an established team and global function around you, and a long runway: the engagement is rolling with strong extension potential.
