ABOUT THE ROLE

Role Description:

The Senior Associate Information Security - Encryption Agility Analyst will support Amgen's enterprise Encryption Agility Service for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Readiness Preparation. This role supports the Senior Manager Information Security - Encryption Agility Service Lead, the Senior Specialist Information Security - Encryption Agility Team Architect, and Global Career Framework level 5 (L5) engineers by helping collect, validate, document, and report cryptographic inventory and remediation data across Amgen. The role contributes to the Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM), discovery workflows, data quality controls, ticket tracking, dashboards, and operational documentation that enable Amgen to manage encryption, cryptography, crypto agility, and post-quantum readiness across applications, cloud, infrastructure, identity, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), certificates, Key Management Services (KMS), secrets, data protection, Software as a Service (SaaS), and third-party ecosystems.

This position is hands-on and detail-oriented. The analyst will review tool outputs, support evidence collection, maintain inventory records, assist with false-positive triage, prepare reporting views, document remediation status, and coordinate with service owners. The role will work with Digital Identity Access Service (DIAS), PKI and certificate service owners, Application Security, Artificial Intelligence (AI) Security, Enterprise Architecture, cloud, infrastructure, platform, Risk and Compliance, Procurement, Legal, Third Party Risk Management (TPRM), Operational Technology (OT), and vendor teams while escalating complex cryptographic design or exception decisions to the L5 engineer, Principal Architect, or Senior Manager.

The role should also support the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled process orchestration within the Encryption Agility Service by helping document manual workflows, identify repetitive analysis or reporting tasks, test AI-assisted outputs, and support human-in-the-loop review activities. The analyst may assist Global Career Framework level 5 (L5) engineers and the Principal Architect with AI agent-enabled workflows that improve Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM) data quality, remediation tracking, dashboard preparation, evidence review, and service documentation.

Roles & Responsibilities:

• •Support Encryption Agility Service operations, including intake processing, work tracking, dashboard updates, meeting notes, service documentation, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) maintenance, reporting inputs, and service improvement actions.
• •Collect and validate cryptographic inventory data from source code, binaries, cloud key services, endpoints, file systems, network traffic, PKI and certificates, KMS and secrets, vendor attestations, Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) inputs, and Subject Matter Expert (SME) interviews.
• •Maintain CBOM records using CycloneDX 1.6+ as the target format, including required fields, source systems, asset ownership, quantum-vulnerability status, remediation status, data quality checks, reporting views, and ServiceNow asset correlation.
• •Review cryptographic scan outputs, certificate records, certificate chains, cipher suite configurations, Transport Layer Security (TLS) settings, Secure Shell (SSH) settings, Open Authorization (OAuth), Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), JSON Web Token (JWT) patterns, cloud key records, and key or secret storage evidence under L5 engineer or Principal Architect guidance.
• •Support data ingestion, tool integration, and evidence management across Amgen Enterprise systems and cryptographic discovery platforms.
• •Assist Digital Identity Access Service (DIAS), Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) service owners, certificate management teams, and identity teams with certificate visibility, certificate ownership, expiration tracking, Certificate Lifecycle Manager (CLM) data needs, manual-to-automated deployment candidates, Certificate Authority (CA) roadmap inputs, and operational change window planning.
• •Assist cloud, infrastructure, and platform teams with KMS and secrets inventory, Hardware Security Module (HSM) evidence, key ownership records, key rotation status, key retirement tracking, storage standards, and reporting needed for centralized or federated key management controls.
• •Support Application Security, Artificial Intelligence (AI) Security, Enterprise Architecture, Development and Operations (DevOps), and engineering teams with approved cryptographic library adoption, Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) scan data, Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC) requirements, scanning rules, secure code examples, and developer remediation playbooks.
• •Track remediation and risk prioritization data for business-critical applications, high-volume sensitive data flows, third-party dependencies, identity services, legacy platforms, Key Computerized Systems (KCS), validated Good x Practice (GxP) systems, and OT scope.
• •Support vendor and third-party governance activities with Procurement, Legal, Risk and Compliance, Third Party Risk Management (TPRM), and business owners by collecting technical questionnaire responses, CBOM requests, cryptographic evidence, roadmap updates, and supplier follow-up actions.
• •Maintain knowledge articles, implementation guides, training material, exception records, and escalation summaries while monitoring relevant updates from National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), National Security Agency Commercial National Security Algorithm Suite 2.0 (NSA CNSA 2.0), International Organization for Standardization (ISO), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Health Information Trust Alliance (HITRUST), and broader industry cryptography guidance.
• •Support Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled process orchestration activities by documenting manual Encryption Agility Service workflows, identifying repetitive evidence, inventory, reporting, and remediation tracking tasks, testing AI-assisted outputs, and maintaining human-in-the-loop review records for findings, exceptions, and decision-support material under Global Career Framework level 5 (L5) engineer or Principal Architect guidance.
