  • Develop and maintain Python and PowerShell scripts to: Discover NHIDs from servers, cloud platforms, and applications Parse configuration files, logs, and APIs to identify embedded or hard-coded credentials Automate NHID hygiene tasks (ownership validation, metadata enrichment, reporting) Build automation workflows to support NHID onboarding, lifecycle updates, reviews, and decommissioning by integrating IAM, PAM, cloud IAM, and ITSM systems.
  • Support governance of NHIDs by: Ensuring ownership and lifecycle state are captured correctly Assisting with access reviews and attestations for non-human identities Identifying orphaned, dormant, or over-privileged NHIDs and driving remediation.
  • Work closely with application and DevOps teams to analyse authentication flows and help refactor applications toward modern, secure, password-less NHID patterns (e.g., OAuth client credentials, managed identities, short-lived tokens).
  • Assist in integrating NHID controls with secrets management and PAM platforms, validating that credentials are properly vaulted, rotated, or replaced with cloud-native identity mechanisms where feasible.
  • Support governance of NHIDs used in CI/CD pipelines, automation frameworks, and infrastructure-as-code, ensuring pipelines follow approved identity and secrets patterns.
