Job Description

Join Boston Scientific in a hybrid role where you will lead enterprise-grade identity security and privileged access engineering across a global medical technology environment. This position blends advanced technical leadership with deep, hands-on expertise as a CyberArk subject matter expert, strengthening security architecture, operational resilience, and privileged identity threat detection across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid systems.

What you’ll do

Provide principal-level technical leadership for enterprise Privileged Access Management (PAM), identity security architecture, and privileged identity resilience.
Design and implement secure, scalable PAM architectures, engineering standards, technical controls, and modernization solutions aligned with enterprise cybersecurity objectives.
Serve as a CyberArk subject matter expert, covering privileged account management, session monitoring, credential rotation, secrets management, remote access, and related identity security capabilities.
Lead complex CyberArk engineering initiatives including platform integration, upgrades, performance optimization, high availability, disaster recovery, and operational resilience.
Develop secure privileged access patterns for administrators, service accounts, application identities, vendors, cloud workloads, databases, and network devices, including other critical enterprise systems.
Evaluate and recommend complementary identity security technologies such as BeyondTrust, Delinea, Microsoft Entra Privileged Identity Management, HashiCorp Vault, and other emerging platforms.
Advance Zero Trust security controls using least-privilege, just-in-time access, zero standing privilege, and privileged identity threat detection capabilities.
Strengthen security controls for human and non-human identities, including service accounts, machine identities, application identities, and emerging AI-agent identities.
Integrate PAM with identity governance and systems such as Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID, plus cloud platforms, security operations, monitoring, and enterprise technology services.
Design privileged access solutions for manufacturing and operational technology (OT), including industrial control systems, manufacturing execution systems, laboratories, and validated systems.
Partner with Manufacturing, Quality, Infrastructure, and Cybersecurity teams to implement controls while minimizing production disruption, operational risk, and regulatory impact.
Create compensating controls, secure vendor-access solutions, and phased remediation approaches for legacy systems with technical or validation constraints.
Translate regulatory, audit, and security requirements into practical technical controls, engineering standards, and supporting documentation.
Apply cybersecurity and regulatory frameworks including FDA requirements, ISO 13485, IEC 62443, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and other applicable standards.
Develop and validate privileged access recovery, emergency-access, and break-glass solutions to support cyber resilience and business continuity.
Provide technical expertise during security incidents, risk assessments, vulnerability remediation, control testing, and recovery exercises.
Establish technical health indicators and security metrics to evaluate platform effectiveness, control adoption, resilience, and risk reduction.
Troubleshoot complex identity security issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement sustainable engineering improvements.
Collaborate with enterprise architects, cybersecurity leaders, infrastructure engineers, cloud teams, and business stakeholders to align identity security solutions with enterprise requirements.
Mentor engineers, contribute to architecture reviews, promote engineering best practices, and influence technical decisions across global teams.
Evaluate emerging identity security technologies, threats, and industry practices to recommend improvements to enterprise security capabilities.

What you bring

Bachelor’s degree in cybersecurity, computer science, engineering, information technology, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
Minimum 8 years of experience in cybersecurity engineering, identity security, security architecture, infrastructure security, or a closely related technical discipline.
Minimum 5 years experience designing, implementing, integrating, or supporting enterprise Privileged Access Management solutions.
Deep hands-on expertise with CyberArk, including privileged account management, credential management, session monitoring, platform integration, and security architecture.
Strong knowledge of PAM architecture, identity security principles, privileged access controls, and secure authentication technologies.
Experience designing and implementing enterprise-scale identity security solutions across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.
Demonstrated experience leading complex technical projects, developing engineering standards, and influencing enterprise architecture decisions.
Strong understanding of Zero Trust, least privilege, privileged identity security, service account management, and secrets management.
Experience implementing security controls, improving platform resilience, and addressing vulnerabilities or operational risks in critical enterprise environments.
Experience collaborating with cross-functional technology, cybersecurity, and business teams to deliver complex security solutions.
Strong analytical, troubleshooting, technical documentation, and communication skills, including the ability to explain complex security concepts to technical and nontechnical stakeholders.
