Post-Quantum Cryptographer

Role Description

The Post-Quantum Cryptographer will design, analyze, and implement post-quantum cryptographic primitives and protocols that underpin GaaS’s governance and audit infrastructure.

• Researching emerging post-quantum schemes
• Performing cryptanalysis on candidate constructions
• Collaborating with engineering teams to integrate secure algorithms into production systems

Qualifications

• Strong foundation in Cryptography and Cryptanalysis, including familiarity with post-quantum schemes and modern protocol design.
• Expertise in Mathematics relevant to cryptography (e.g., number theory, algebra, discrete mathematics, probability and statistics).
• Background in Computer Science, including algorithms, data structures, complexity theory, and secure systems implementation.
• Knowledge of Authentication mechanisms, identity management, and secure key management practices.
• Proficiency in one or more programming languages commonly used for cryptographic implementation (such as C/C++, Rust, Go, or Python).
• Experience with formal methods, security proofs, or protocol verification tools is highly beneficial.
• Familiarity with relevant standards and initiatives (e.g., NIST post-quantum cryptography efforts) and practical deployment considerations.
• Advanced degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Cryptography, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience in applied cryptography.
• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly, collaborate across disciplines, and document designs for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
