  • Opportunity to work on cutting-edge post-quantum cryptography initiatives within a global financial institution
  • Exposure to enterprise-scale security architecture and cryptographic transformation programs
  • Opportunity to contribute to long-term security strategy and regulatory alignment

How You Will Make An Impact:

  • Assess enterprise readiness for post-quantum cryptography across infrastructure, applications, PKI, IAM, and data-in-transit environments
  • Identify and evaluate cryptographic vulnerabilities, including certificates, keys, and cipher suites susceptible to quantum threats
  • Partner with encryption and key management teams to support centralized cryptographic initiatives
  • Develop PQC transition strategies, including crypto-agility frameworks and prioritized remediation roadmaps
  • Support vendor evaluations, technical requirements definition, and comparative solution analysis
  • Translate complex technical findings into actionable, risk-based insights for leadership and governance stakeholders
  • Ensure alignment with enterprise security architecture, risk management frameworks, and regulatory expectations

Are you a proven cryptography and security architecture professional ready to make an impact?

  • 10+ years of experience in cybersecurity, cryptography, or security architecture roles
  • Strong expertise in applied cryptography, including PKI, TLS, certificate management, and key lifecycle management
  • Working knowledge of post-quantum cryptography concepts and familiarity with NIST PQC standards
  • Experience conducting cryptographic inventory and risk assessments in enterprise environments
  • Proven ability to operate within highly regulated industries and communicate across technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Experience supporting risk-based prioritization and remediation of security vulnerabilities
  • Familiarity with security policies, cryptographic standards, and change management processes
  • Awareness of third-party and supply chain cryptographic risks
