TL;DR · Tech Lead - Cryptographic Asset Platform

As a Tech Lead - Cryptographic Asset Platform on the Cryptographic Services team, you will lead the evolution of a hardware-rooted cryptographic asset lifecycle platform serving as the system of record for keys, certificates, and PKI chains. You will build the cryptographic asset registry, including inventory tracking and interfaces, while implementing telemetry, audit evidence, and policy-based authorization. Your responsibilities include owning signing flows end to end, designing API and CLI surfaces, and supporting post-quantum production signing using ML-DSA and LMS keys. You will develop agent-assisted paths for self-service and automation. The role requires expertise in Python, Java, or Go, along with deep knowledge of applied cryptography, HSM-backed systems, and AI-driven workflows. You will solve critical security challenges regarding certificate management and secure signing processes within a high-assurance infrastructure environment.

What you'll do

  • Build and maintain a cryptographic asset registry for key and certificate inventory and lifecycle tracking.
  • Implement telemetry, audit evidence, and policy-based authorization for sensitive cryptographic materials.
  • Design and manage end-to-end signing flows including API surfaces, CLI tools, and customer experiences.
  • Support post-quantum production signing using ML-DSA dual signing on HSM-backed keys and hybrid flows.
  • Develop agent-assisted paths to enable self-service while maintaining strict human-in-the-loop controls for security.
  • Measure and optimize key performance indicators such as deflection rates, onboarding time, and time to first signature.
  • Lead the technical evolution of the cryptographic asset lifecycle platform across technology, process, and people.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 8+ years of experience building and operating production software with high availability requirements.
  • Strong hands-on engineering skills in Python, Java, Go, or similar languages across the full stack of a cloud service.
  • Working knowledge of applied cryptography including PKI, key management, digital signatures, and HSM-backed systems.
  • Practical experience applying AI and agentic workflows to real engineering problems.
  • Clear written communication skills and proactive habits.
  • Experience with code signing, HSM-backed key management, or software supply chain security (preferred).
  • Demonstrated ability to replace ticket-driven processes with self-service solutions (preferred).
