About this role
Senior Specialist Information Security - Encryption Agility Team Architect
The Senior Specialist Information Security - Encryption Agility Team Architect will serve as the Principal Architect for Amgen's enterprise Encryption Agility Service for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Readiness Preparation. This role is the senior technical authority for enterprise encryption, cryptography, crypto agility, and post-quantum cryptography architecture across Amgen. The role partners with the Senior Manager Information Security - Encryption Agility Service Lead to translate Amgen's post-quantum roadmap into governed standards, reference architectures, implementation patterns, discovery requirements, remediation patterns, test plans, and production rollout guidance. The role is expected to be deeply technical and hands-on, while also able to influence enterprise architecture, application, cloud, infrastructure, identity, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), Key Management Services (KMS), certificate management, Digital Identity Access Services (DIAS), Operational Technology (OT), and third-party stakeholders.
The architect will define what good looks like for Amgen's 2030 quantum-ready target state and work backward to establish the architecture, tooling, policies, and patterns needed to get there. The role will create practical architecture for the Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM), cryptographic discovery, Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM), key and secret management, algorithm transition, Steal-Now-Decrypt-Later (SNDL) mitigation, Post-Quantum Public Key Infrastructure (PQ-PKI), hybrid Transport Layer Security (TLS), approved cryptographic libraries, and compensating controls for legacy or unchangeable applications. The individual must be comfortable reviewing source code findings, certificate chains, cipher suite data, cloud key configurations, secrets management patterns, tool integrations, and vendor cryptographic evidence.
This role does not replace teams that already own infrastructure, PKI/certificates, applications, ide
