TL;DR · Consultant, Cryptography Security Architect

Consultant, Cryptography Security Architect joins the Enterprise Security Architecture team to establish the architectural vision for the enterprise cryptographic infrastructure. This role involves designing, governing, and evolving systems including HSM platforms, certificate authorities, certificate lifecycle management, and enterprise key management services across on-premises, cloud, and customer-facing environments. The architect will lead multi-year transformation programs, author cryptographic standards, and serve as the enterprise lead for Post-Quantum Cryptography readiness. Key responsibilities include translating regulatory requirements like FIPS, FedRAMP, and PCI DSS into actionable guidance. The position requires expertise in KMIP, PKCS#11, EST, and ACME protocols to build abstracted, API-first services. The work focuses on ensuring operational resilience, crypto-agility, and technology portability while managing complex cryptographic migrations and multi-vendor strategies for millions of objects.

What you'll do

  • Design and govern enterprise cryptographic infrastructure including HSM platforms, certificate authorities, and key management services.
  • Lead the enterprise strategy for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) readiness and migration roadmaps.
  • Author and enforce enterprise cryptographic standards and governance frameworks for algorithms and protocols.
  • Translate complex regulatory requirements like FIPS and FedRAMP into actionable guidance for engineering teams.
  • Lead multi-year cryptographic transformation programs and manage strategic vendor relationships.
  • Architect abstracted, API-first cryptographic services to ensure backend technology portability and eliminate vendor lock-in.
  • Conduct cost/effort analyses for build-vs-buy decisions and provide executive-level reporting on program progress.

What we're looking for

  • 7+ years of experience operating and governing large-scale cryptographic infrastructure across complex hybrid multi-cloud enterprise environments.
  • Deep expertise in designing and maintaining multi-vendor enterprise HSM platforms and strategies.
  • Proven ability to architect and govern large-scale certificate ecosystems including public/private CAs and CLM platforms.
  • Strong knowledge of EKM platforms, cloud key management, and database encryption methodologies.
  • Working understanding of current and emerging Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards, hybrid approaches, and PQC-native hardware.
  • Mastery of cryptographic primitives, algorithms, protocols, and PKI trust models to author and enforce enterprise standards.
  • Demonstrated success leading multi-year, large enterprise security transformation programs and cryptographic migrations.
  • Experience evaluating and managing relationships with HSM manufacturers, CA/CLM providers, and key management vendors.
  • Familiarity with federal, FedRAMP, FIPS, and PCI DSS cryptographic requirements (preferred).
  • Experience architecting abstracted, API-first security services using protocols such as KMIP, PKCS#11, EST, and ACME (preferred).
