Security & Cryptography Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: Security/Cryptography Engineer

• Focus: Quantum-resistant security architecture and post-quantum cryptography (PQC)

• Engagement: Long-term project (12+ months)

Description

You will design security architecture resilient to quantum-computer-related threats, implement post-quantum cryptography (PQC), and manage cryptographic keys end-to-end. You will ensure secure software development lifecycle practices, support independent security and cryptography audits, and design how PQC primitives coexist with established cryptographic standards. You will also identify and mitigate cryptographic risks and prepare the solution for external security evaluation.

Responsibilities

• Design a security architecture resilient to quantum-computer-related threats

• Implement post-quantum cryptography (PQC)

• Design and manage key management

• Ensure secure software development lifecycle (SDLC)

• Prepare and support independent security and cryptography audits

• Design a PQC coexistence model and align with Eurosystem cryptographic standards

• Identify and mitigate cryptographic risks

• Prepare a solution for external security evaluation

Requirements

• Very strong applied cryptography experience

• Practical knowledge of Post-Quantum Cryptography

• Experience migrating cryptography and implementing hybrid cryptographic schemes

• Experience with HSM and full lifecycle management of keys

• Knowledge of threat modeling

• Experience with secure SDLC

• Ability to prepare documentation and security/cryptography evidence for an external auditor

Benefits

• Long-term engagement (12+ months)
