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.
