Key Responsibilities:

  • Work closely with research and engineering teams to develop and integrate post-quantum cryptographic (PQC) solutions into existing and new software systems
  • Analyze and assess current cryptographic implementations, libraries, and system architectures to identify upgrade paths for quantum-safe migration
  • Design, implement, and test software modules, protocols, or frameworks that use NIST-standardized PQC algorithms
  • Evaluate performance, interoperability, and security implications of replacing classical cryptographic schemes with quantum-safe alternatives
  • Support the development of technical documentation, migration roadmaps, and user integration guides for internal and external stakeholders
  • Collaborate with industry partners (e.g., financial institutions, OEMs) to deploy and validate the migration of their systems to quantum-safe cryptography
  • Contribute to research papers, technical reports, and presentations for internal reviews and external conferences or journals

Job Requirements:

  • PhD degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field
  • At least 1-2 years of relevant experiences in similar role / technical hands-on experience
  • Familiarity with cryptographic and security protocols, including post-quantum cryptography
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills
  • Proficiency in programming (Python, C, Go)
