The Cryptographic Agility & Post-Quantum (PQC) Engineer joins the cybersecurity team to shape and deliver the enterprise cryptographic modernization strategy. This role focuses on preparing the organization for emerging cryptographic threats, specifically the impact of quantum computing. You will mature the Cryptographic Agility program by developing an inventory of cryptographic assets, identifying systems using vulnerable or legacy algorithms, and defining remediation migration paths. Key responsibilities include evaluating NIST-approved PQC standards, piloting PQC-enabled technologies, and producing risk metrics. Required skills include expertise in encryption technologies, PKI, certificate management, and key management systems. You must be proficient in cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, OCI, or Google Cloud Platform, and possess experience with automation tools such as Python, PowerShell, Bash, Terraform, Ansible, and Jenkins.
Maintain an inventory of cryptographic assets, dependencies, algorithms, protocols, certificates, and keys across all platforms.
Identify systems using vulnerable or legacy cryptographic algorithms and define remediation and migration strategies.
Evaluate emerging post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standards and NIST-approved cryptographic algorithms.
Define approved migration paths, transition frameworks, and implementation guidance for application and platform teams.
Pilot and validate PQC-enabled technologies, services, and solutions for future enterprise adoption.
Develop standards, procedures, and technical guidance to support cryptographic agility and quantum readiness.
Produce metrics and executive reporting to track cryptographic risk and migration progress across the enterprise.
What we're looking for
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related discipline, or equivalent work experience.
5+ years of experience in cybersecurity, security engineering, encryption, PKI, key management, infrastructure security, or a related field.
Working knowledge of cryptographic algorithms, protocols, and security controls used in enterprise environments.
Experience with enterprise operating systems, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, OCI, or GCP), and distributed application architectures.
Exposure to post-quantum cryptography concepts, cryptographic inventory/discovery tools, or cryptographic risk assessments.
Experience supporting security compliance frameworks, cybersecurity standards, and audit activities.
Experience developing scripts or automation solutions using languages such as Python, PowerShell, Bash, Java, C#, or Go.
Experience with infrastructure-as-code and automation frameworks such as Terraform, Ansible, Jenkins, Harness, or similar CI/CD platforms.
Industry certifications such as CISSP, Certified Encryption Specialist (ECES), or similar certifications (preferred).
