Remote Cryptographer

Transform How the World Secures Its Data

Do you believe algorithms can outsmart tomorrow’s threats? If turning abstract mathematical puzzles into digital fortresses excites you, this is your next calling. In this fully remote cryptography role, you’ll craft encryption solutions that shape how millions trust, transact, and communicate—wherever they are in the world. Security isn’t just a feature here; it’s our backbone. Join a team that treats innovation like a habit and views complexity as an invitation.

Why Your Expertise Matters

You’ll create frameworks that anchor everything from mobile payment protocols to blockchain ecosystems. Every cipher you design will keep sensitive transactions private and digital identities safe—at a scale that makes headlines. Your knack for distilling the most challenging math into elegant, bulletproof cryptographic systems will change the way businesses and users experience digital trust. We empower you with the autonomy to challenge standards, optimize cryptographic algorithms, and influence security policies with far-reaching impact.

What You’ll Achieve

• Architect Future-Ready Encryption: Devise advanced cryptographic protocols that set the bar for end-to-end data privacy across cloud services and digital products.
• Collaborate to Launch Secure Solutions: Work hand-in-hand with engineers and product designers to ensure security is baked into every feature before a single line of code is shipped.
• Drive Security Audits and Reviews: Your detailed code assessments and threat modeling will protect our core infrastructure from emerging vulnerabilities, maintaining strong user trust.
• Champion Continuous Learning: Stay ahead of the curve on post-quantum cryptography, zero-knowledge proofs, and cryptanalysis, then share insights that push our team forward.
• Advise on Compliance & Best Practices: Guide our security strategy in line with global privacy standards—your advice shapes company-wide decisions.

A Day in Your Remote Workspace

Imagine your mornings spent unraveling novel attack vectors over virtual brainstorming sessions, afternoons turning math into reality with Python or Rust, and evenings reviewing open-source libraries that millions will rely on. Our virtual tools—Slack, GitHub, and Notion—help you share discoveries, pair-program seamlessly, and document protocols for future team members to follow. You’ll simplify complex ideas for colleagues in weekly security roundtables—whether they’re next door or halfway around the globe.

What Sets You Apart

• Trailblazer in Mathematics and Security: You thrive on translating complex number theory, finite fields, and elliptic curves into practical security mechanisms that work at scale.
• Hands-On with Code: Whether you’re building a proof-of-concept in Go or optimizing a cryptographic library in C++, you’re as comfortable in the terminal as on a whiteboard.
• Clear Communicator: You simplify intricate cryptographic topics for diverse audiences—writing technical documentation and offering guidance over Zoom or Slack.
• Lifelong Learner: New algorithms, trends in privacy, or cryptanalysis techniques excite you. You’re the first to try, test, and teach them to others.
• Driven by Impact: Every recommendation you make is rooted in protecting real people’s data—balancing theoretical rigor with practical needs.

What You’ll Need to Succeed

• Advanced degree (Master’s or PhD preferred) in mathematics, computational theory, information engineering, mathematics, or a closely associated technical field specializing in encryption and security principles.
• Demonstrated experience designing and deploying cryptographic algorithms, digital signature schemes, or protocols for secure authentication.
• Strong programming skills—ideally in Python, Rust, Go, or C/C++—plus a record of peer-reviewed publications or contributions to open-source cryptography projects.
• Ability to translate research and theory into solutions ready for production environments.
• Motivation to thrive in a fast-moving, all-remote team using modern collaboration tools.

Tools, Tech & Ecosystem

You’ll shape cryptographic libraries that become the foundation of decentralized finance, e-signature platforms, and encrypted messaging apps. Our team’s stack is open to your ideas—whether it’s lattice-based cryptography, secure multiparty computation, or new approaches to privacy-preserving data sharing. You’ll have access to the latest research, high-performance computing resources, and the freedom to experiment.

Rewards & Recognition

Your expertise deserves recognition—and we don’t just mean gratitude. This role offers a competitive annual salary of $145,000 (fully remote, with flexibility for location and lifestyle). You’ll also enjoy generous benefits, dedicated learning budgets, and the freedom to set your own schedule. Your voice carries weight here; your discoveries will shape security practices that reach far beyond our company.
