Senior Cryptographic Services Specialist

Location: United Arab Emirates (Remote)

Employment Type: Full-Time

Experience Level: Mid-Level to Senior

Work Arrangement: Fully Remote

We are a construction-focused organization committed to delivering complex projects through disciplined contract management, operational excellence, robust information security, and collaborative project delivery. Our distributed teams work across Project Management, Construction, Engineering, Procurement, Commercial, Legal, Finance, Human Resources, Design, Quality, HSE, Consultants, Contractors, Suppliers, Logistics, Administration, Information Technology, and Executive Leadership.

We recognize that secure cryptographic services are essential to protecting confidential information, safeguarding digital identities, maintaining trusted communications, and preserving the integrity of business-critical systems. Through effective cryptographic governance, secure key management, certificate lifecycle controls, and resilient security infrastructure, we aim to maintain strong protection for sensitive project information, commercial records, intellectual property, and enterprise technology assets.

We are seeking an experienced Senior Cryptographic Services Specialist to design, administer, secure, and improve enterprise cryptographic services across on-premises infrastructure, cloud environments, business applications, databases, networks, and digital platforms.

The successful candidate will manage cryptographic service capabilities involving encryption and decryption, cryptographic key management, Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), digital certificates, digital signatures, cryptographic APIs, and secure key distribution. The role will focus on ensuring that cryptographic services are reliable, appropriately governed, securely configured, and aligned with organizational security requirements.

Working closely with Cybersecurity, Infrastructure, Cloud Engineering, Application Development, Network Engineering, Identity and Access Management (IAM), Data Protection, Compliance, and Risk Management teams, the specialist will establish secure cryptographic standards, maintain service availability, support cryptographic risk assessments, and strengthen the organization's overall information protection capabilities.

• Design, implement, administer, and maintain enterprise cryptographic services supporting business applications, infrastructure, cloud platforms, and security systems.
• Establish standards and procedures for the secure use of encryption, decryption, hashing, digital signatures, key exchange, and related cryptographic operations.
• Maintain an inventory of cryptographic services, dependencies, supported platforms, service owners, and associated security requirements.
• Define service requirements for availability, performance, scalability, access control, monitoring, resilience, and recoverability.
• Ensure cryptographic services are deployed and operated according to approved security architectures and organizational policies.
• Review existing cryptographic implementations to identify outdated algorithms, unsupported libraries, insecure configurations, and operational weaknesses.
• Coordinate the onboarding of applications and infrastructure components to approved enterprise cryptographic services.
• Establish consistent service patterns for centralized encryption, certificate validation, digital signing, and cryptographic key access.
• Evaluate new cryptographic technologies and recommend improvements based on security effectiveness, compatibility, and operational requirements.
• Maintain technical documentation covering service architecture, configuration standards, operational dependencies, and support procedures.
• Ensure that cryptographic services support business continuity and the protection of critical corporate and project information.

• Manage the lifecycle of cryptographic keys, including generation, registration, distribution, storage, activation, rotation, revocation, archival, recovery, and destruction.
• Administer and support enterprise Key Management Systems (KMS) and associated cryptographic service integrations.
• Establish key ownership, classification, usage restrictions, access policies, rotation schedules, and lifecycle requirements.
• Ensure cryptographic keys are protected against…
