Remote Cryptography Expert

Can your algorithms outsmart threats before they even arise?

We design digital defense systems that don’t just react to threats—they stay a step ahead. As our Remote Cryptography Expert, you’ll redefine what it means to build secure ecosystems in a distributed world. This isn’t just another remote opportunity; it’s a chance to shape the digital backbone of global infrastructure. You’ll lead cutting-edge research and apply cryptographic solutions that shield billions of data transactions every day. Your contribution won’t just secure our systems; it will inspire a new standard across industries where trust is currency.

What You’ll Achieve

Architect Next-Gen Cryptographic Systems

• Design, develop, and maintain cryptographic protocols that address complex security challenges in decentralized environments.
• Build forward-compatible encryption mechanisms that align with upcoming post-quantum standards.
• Drive privacy-preserving solutions that enhance compliance without compromising performance.

Translate Complexity Into Clarity

• Connect theoretical research with practical application by converting sophisticated cryptographic ideas into usable frameworks.
• Integrate secure cryptographic frameworks into our systems using libraries such as libsodium, OpenSSL, and BouncyCastle.
• Optimize signature schemes, hashing strategies, and zero-knowledge proof systems to run efficiently across varied architectures.

Protect Critical Infrastructure

• Implement key management strategies that guard against data breaches, fraud, and unauthorized access.
• Ensure end-to-end encryption in communication pipelines, secure identity layers, and digital signatures.
• Monitor for emerging vulnerabilities and proactively apply cryptanalysis to strengthen protocol resilience.

Lead and Elevate

• Guide junior engineers and researchers through technical mentorship and collaborative design reviews.
• Share thought leadership by contributing to white papers, open-source projects, and research communities.
• Proactively explore and test innovative cryptographic methods, including lattice-based and code-based systems.

How You’ll Work

We work async-first and thrive in a flexible environment designed for deep focus and high-impact collaboration. You’ll navigate between long research cycles, fast prototyping sprints, and architectural planning with stakeholders across engineering, product, and compliance. Weekly stand-ups and bi-weekly retrospectives are where we sync, celebrate, and steer.

We use:

• Zoom for strategic alignment meetings and pair debugging sessions.
• The goal is to document processes, draft proposals, and foster a shared understanding.
• GitHub for code reviews, deployments, and source control.
• Jira to manage sprints, track deliverables, and prioritize security improvements.

Ideal Candidate Traits

You Simplify the Complex

You thrive in the gray area between theory and application. Whether explaining the nuances of elliptic-curve cryptography to engineers or writing elegant pseudocode for MPC schemes, your communication sharpens the entire team.

You Build With Purpose

You view code as infrastructure. The encryption standards you develop don’t just function—they instill trust. From messaging platforms to secure e-voting applications, your solutions are adopted because they work and endure.

You Take Ownership

You operate like an owner. From protocol design to documentation, testing, and deployment, you’re accountable at every step. You challenge assumptions, identify edge cases, and deliver results.

Required Experience

• Demonstrated experience implementing cryptographic protocols in a production environment.
• Deep understanding of symmetric and asymmetric cryptography, including RSA, ECC, AES, and SHA-3.
• Familiarity with post-quantum algorithms (e.g., Kyber, Dilithium) and how they apply to modern systems.
• Proficiency in at least one systems-level language (Rust, Go, or C++) and scripting in Python.
• Experience with side-channel attack mitigation, secure coding practices, and formal verification tools.

Preferred Qualifications

• An advanced academic foundation, such as a Ph.D. or postgraduate qualification in disciplines including computer science, applied mathematical sciences, or engineering, with a focus on encryption and security systems.
• Contributions to peer-reviewed journals, white papers, or open-source security tools.
• Hands-on work in blockchain, trusted execution environments, or privacy-focused systems.
• Familiarity with hardware-backed key storage (e.g., TPMs, HSMs, YubiKeys).

The Broader Impact

Your work will enable secure transactions for fintech platforms, encrypted communication for telehealth networks, and private computation for AI and ML applications. When millions depend on trust at scale, your cryptographic solutions become the unsung backbone of daily life.

You won’t just deliver code. You’ll create confidence.

Salary and Benefits

This opportunity is fully remote and comes with an annual salary of $135,000, plus performance incentives based on innovation, delivery, and system impact. You'll have the flexibility to work your own hours, enjoy ample leave, and participate in global cryptography events to stay ahead in your field.

Additional perks include:

• Equipment allowance to build your optimal remote setup.
• Subscription access to journals, tools, and research platforms.
• Opportunities to lead or participate in global open cryptographic research initiatives.
