Job Description

We are Aether Dynamics, a pioneer in next-generation infrastructure security. As we prepare for the paradigm shift of 2026, we are seeking a visionary Post-Quantum Cryptography Engineer to safeguard our quantum-ready systems. If you are passionate about the intersection of mathematics, physics, and code, and want to build the security protocols that will define the future of the internet, this is your opportunity to lead the charge.

Why Join Us?
We aren't just predicting the future; we are architecting it. In 2026, traditional encryption will face unprecedented challenges. Our mission is to deploy Lattice-based cryptography and Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocols to ensure absolute data integrity for our global clients. You will work in a high-performance environment with top-tier researchers and engineers dedicated to solving the hardest problems in cybersecurity.

Responsibilities

  • Architect Post-Quantum Solutions: Design and implement lattice-based cryptographic algorithms to protect sensitive data against future quantum attacks.
  • Legacy Migration: Lead the transition of legacy encryption standards to quantum-resistant protocols within our core infrastructure.
  • Security Audits: Conduct rigorous penetration testing and vulnerability assessments specifically targeting quantum decryption methods.
  • R&D Collaboration: Partner with our physics team to explore and integrate emerging quantum computing technologies into our security stack.
  • Compliance Strategy: Develop roadmaps to ensure Aether Dynamics remains compliant with evolving global standards (NIST, ISO) for quantum security.
  • Team Mentorship: Train junior engineers on the principles of quantum-resistant cryptography and secure coding practices.

Qualifications

  • Education: Master’s or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Mathematics, or Physics with a focus on Cryptography.
  • Experience: 5+ years of experience in software development with a strong emphasis on cryptography and information security.
  • Technical Skills: Proficiency in Python, C++, or Rust; deep knowledge of algorithms (AES, RSA, ECC) and their post-quantum alternatives.
  • Quantum Knowledge: Familiarity with quantum computing concepts, qubits, and quantum gates is highly preferred.
  • Problem Solving: Exceptional analytical skills with the ability to troubleshoot complex cryptographic vulnerabilities.
  • Communication: Ability to explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and leadership.
