Job Description & How to Apply Below
Own the cryptographic systems at the heart of a post-quantum security platform. This senior, high-trust role focuses on implementing hybrid signing, key exchange, a verifiable transparency log, and an attested signing environment. The work is expected to be correct, auditable, and clear enough for security teams to inspect closely.
Responsibilities- Design and implement hybrid signatures combining ML-DSA with Ed25519 or ECDSA, and ML-KEM key exchange.
- Build and maintain an RFC 6962 Merkle transparency log, including consistency proofs and witness cosigning.
- Harden signing with envelope encryption, enclave attestation, and hardware-backed keys.
- Develop reference verifiers and keep behavior consistent across the CLI, SDKs, and API.
- Apply NIST post-quantum cryptography standards and relevant specifications in production code.
- Strong Go programming skills;
Rust experience is preferred. - Track record building security-sensitive systems.
- Practical knowledge of applied cryptography, including signatures, key encapsulation, hashing, X.509, and TLS.
- Ability to read standards and RFCs and implement them accurately.
- Commitment to testable, auditable, well-documented code.
- Experience with confidential computing environments such as Nitro Enclaves or SGX, or with TPM 2.0.
- Contributions to open-source cryptography libraries.
- Remote-first role open to US and EU time zones.
- Candidates are assessed on demonstrated ability rather than formal credentials.
