Cryptography Engineer

Would you like to work on cutting-edge cryptographic systems that are designed to be quantum-resilient?
Are you interested in joining a deep-tech startup building the foundational security layer for next-generation AI?
Would you like to work on algorithms that will shape the future of secure computing infrastructure?

This client is a stealth-mode deep-tech startup in the semiconductor space, currently in a critical product development phase. They’re working toward securing key certifications and are facing the exciting challenge of scaling their secure chip platform for real-world AI applications. You’ll be joining at a pivotal moment, where your work will directly impact product and architecture direction.

I’m looking for someone who:

• Has deep expertise in classical and modern cryptographic algorithms/protocols
• Is experienced in formal methods and formal verification/security proofs
• Has used tools like Tamarin Prover or ProVerif
• Holds a Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics, or Computer Engineering

Who is interested in:

• Designing and implementing cryptographic algorithms and protocols
• Identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities in cryptographic systems
• Working on cutting-edge formal verification projects
• Playing a key role in shaping cryptographic architecture
• Gaining experience with high-assurance certification processes (FIPS 140-3, Common Criteria)

For a company who:

• Is building ultra-secure chips specifically for collaborative AI systems
• Leverages hardware-level cryptographic innovation with formal security guarantees
• Uses chip-level randomness to eliminate stored cryptographic keys
• Is backed by strong funding and led by experienced founders from cybersecurity and AI domains

We know we ask a lot but encourage you to apply even if you fit 80% of the role.
