Security Expert

Job Description

QuantumGate is a startup within VentureOne, supported by the Advanced Technology Research Council (ATRC) and its research arm, the Technology Innovation Institute (TII). We specialize in developing and commercializing advanced post-quantum cryptographic solutions, with a mission to secure enterprise digital environments through cutting-edge protocols and applications that tackle the challenges of the post-quantum era.

This role involves advising organizations on best practices, conducting risk assessments, and enhancing cybersecurity strategies through cryptographic methodologies.

• Cryptographic Advisory & Strategy: Provide expert guidance on cryptographic techniques, protocols, and frameworks to ensure data security and compliance.
• Security Assessment & Audits: Analyze and assess existing cryptographic implementations, identify vulnerabilities, and recommend improvements. The audits are focusing on cryptography-in-use across networks, systems, native and cloud applications.
• Algorithm & Protocol Evaluation: Evaluate encryption algorithms and secure communication protocols for security effectiveness and performance.
• Key Management Solutions: Design and implement secure key management strategies, including Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Hardware Security Modules (HSMs).
• Compliance & Standards: Ensure cryptographic solutions align with industry standards such as NIST, ISO 27001 and FIPS 140-2/3.
• Research & Development: Stay updated on emerging threats, post-quantum cryptography advancements, and general security trends.
• Training & Documentation: Provide training to teams on cryptographic best practices and document security policies and procedures.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Mathematics, or a related field.
• 5 years of experience in cryptographic security, cybersecurity consulting, or a similar role.
• Strong knowledge of cryptographic algorithms and primitives (AES, RSA, ECC, SHA, etc.).
• Experience with secure communication protocols (TLS, IPsec, SSH).
• Familiarity with PKI, digital certificates, and authentication mechanisms.
• Knowledge and hands-on experience with computer programming (C, C++, etc).
• Hands-on experience with cryptographic libraries (OpenSSL, Bouncy Castle, Libsodium).
• Deep understanding of post-quantum cryptography concepts.
• Preferred certifications: CISSP, CISM, CEH, GIAC GSEC, GIAC GPEN, or equivalent cryptography-related credentials.

Join QuantumGate as we pioneer innovative solutions to secure the future of digital technology and protect tomorrow's digital society.
