Secrets Engineer
The Secrets Engineer at Graphcore will lead the development and management of a secure, scalable secrets-management platform across the organization. This role involves building an enterprise-grade HashiCorp Vault or OpenBao environment from the ground up, ensuring high availability and resilience. The engineer will collaborate with various teams to unify existing secrets systems, establishing consistent guidelines and providing organization-wide support.
Key responsibilities include designing and implementing the secrets-management platform, defining architectures for clustering and disaster recovery, and developing migration strategies for integrating current tools into the new system. The role also encompasses standardizing organizational policies, access models, and workflows to ensure secure usage, as well as building automation tools and providing training to facilitate adoption. Additionally, the engineer will evaluate secure password storage solutions and assess the feasibility of implementing workload identity and zero-trust authentication frameworks.
Candidates should have over four years of experience in DevOps, SRE, security engineering, or platform engineering roles, with direct experience deploying and operating enterprise secrets-management systems like HashiCorp Vault or OpenBao. A strong understanding of authentication backends, secret engines, PKI, encryption, and token lifecycle is essential. Proficiency in Linux administration, shell scripting, Infrastructure-as-Code tools (preferably Terraform), and CI/CD automation is required. Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across multiple engineering and security fields are also important.
