Post-Quantum Senior Architect

We're looking for a seasoned Senior Architect with deep expertise in the Post-Quantum world to lead the design and delivery of cryptographic solutions built to withstand the coming wave of quantum computing threats. You'll shape how our clients' products transition to quantum-resistant security - combining hands-on architecture work with technical leadership across the engineering team.

If you have a strong grounding in cryptographic theory, a track record in secure software architecture, and a genuine interest in staying ahead of where the field is heading, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do

  • Define and execute the roadmap for integrating post-quantum cryptographic algorithms into existing and new products.
  • Lead the design of secure, efficient, and scalable systems that incorporate post-quantum cryptography from the ground up.
  • Mentor the development team and champion best practices in secure software design and coding standards.
  • Track developments in quantum-resistant cryptography and evaluate how new advancements should be incorporated into our products.
  • Tackle complex security and architectural challenges, delivering solutions that protect against both classical and quantum threats.
  • Partner with product managers, developers, and other stakeholders to turn requirements into robust architecture, communicating clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Ensure cryptographic implementations and architecture meet rigorous testing, validation, and security standards.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
