Post Quantum Cryptographer

Job Title: Post Quantum cryptographer

A Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and Network Security specialist designs, implements, and manages quantum-resistant algorithms (like CRYSTALS-Kyber/Dilithium) to protect digital infrastructure against future quantum computer attacks. Responsibilities include migrating legacy systems, assessing cryptographic risks, and ensuring NIST compliance.

Key Responsibilities

• PQC Migration: Identify, prioritize, and migrate existing cryptographic assets (keys, certificates, protocols) to post-quantum algorithms.
• Algorithm Implementation: Develop, implement, and benchmark quantum-safe cryptographic algorithms in software or hardware environments.
• Security Assessment: Perform vulnerability assessments and risk analyses on network infrastructure against potential quantum threats.
• Research & Standards: Stay updated on evolving NIST PQC standards and apply them to the organizations security architecture.
• Collaboration: Work with security, enterprise architecture, and IT teams to integrate quantum-resistant security measures into products.

Required Qualifications

• Education: Bachelors or Masters in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Mathematics, or Engineering.
• Experience: 35+ years in information security, network security, or cryptographic system design.
• Skills: Strong understanding of lattice-based cryptography, hash-based signatures, quantum computing threats, and cryptographic protocols (TLS/SSL).
• Certifications: CISSP or CISM are highly valued.
