Join our team to design and implement high-performance cryptographic algorithms. You'll work on post-quantum cryptography, symmetric ciphers, and zero-knowledge systems.

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced Cryptography Engineer to help build the next generation of secure systems. You'll work alongside world-class researchers and engineers on open-source projects that are trusted by major technology companies.In this role, you'll design and implement cryptographic primitives, optimize performance across different architectures, and ensure our implementations are secure against side-channel attacks.

Responsibilities

- Design and implement cryptographic algorithms in Rust
- Optimize performance for different CPU architectures (x86, ARM)
- Develop constant-time implementations resistant to side-channel attacks
- Contribute to post-quantum cryptography research and implementation
- Review code and security audits of cryptographic systems




- Write technical documentation and contribute to research papers

Requirements

- Strong background in cryptography and mathematics
- 3+ years of experience with systems programming (Rust, C, or C++)
- Deep understanding of symmetric and asymmetric cryptography
- Familiarity with side-channel attacks and countermeasures
- Experience with CPU-specific optimizations (SIMD, intrinsics)

Nice to Have

- Experience with post-quantum cryptographic algorithms (ML-DSA, ML-KEM)
- Contributions to open-source cryptography projects
- Published research in cryptography or security
- Experience with formal verification tools
- Knowledge of zero-knowledge proof systems
