Cryptographer (The Code Encrypter)

2 weeks ago


Austin, United States Unreal Gigs Full time

Introduction:

Are you passionate about securing data using mathematical algorithms and encryption methods that are nearly impossible to break? Do you have a deep understanding of cryptographic protocols and love solving complex problems related to data privacy and integrity? If you’re a cryptography expert who thrives on securing sensitive information from prying eyes, then our client has an exciting opportunity for you. We’re searching for a Cryptographer (aka The Code Encrypter) to protect our systems and applications using state-of-the-art cryptographic techniques.

Imagine being the person responsible for developing encryption protocols that ensure data confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity across the organization. As the Cryptographer at our client, you’ll design cryptographic solutions, analyze potential vulnerabilities, and ensure that sensitive information is protected at all times. This role isn’t just about implementing encryption—it’s about being the architect of security systems that keep data safe in a rapidly evolving digital world.

Key Responsibilities:

  1. Cryptographic Algorithm Design and Implementation:
  • Design, develop, and implement encryption algorithms and cryptographic systems to secure sensitive data. You’ll work on symmetric and asymmetric encryption methods, digital signatures, and cryptographic key management.
Data Protection and Privacy Solutions:
  • Develop and apply cryptographic techniques to ensure data privacy and integrity, both at rest and in transit. You’ll work on end-to-end encryption solutions for securing communication, databases, and cloud infrastructures.
Security Protocols and Standards:
  • Develop and enforce cryptographic security protocols that align with industry standards, such as TLS/SSL, AES, RSA, and ECC. You’ll ensure that cryptographic practices meet compliance and regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, PCI-DSS).
Cryptanalysis and Vulnerability Testing:
  • Perform cryptanalysis to evaluate the strength of existing encryption systems. You’ll identify potential vulnerabilities and work to strengthen cryptographic algorithms and protocols against emerging threats.
Key Management and Secure Storage:
  • Design and manage cryptographic key management systems (KMS) to securely store, generate, and distribute encryption keys. You’ll ensure that key lifecycle management processes are followed and that keys remain secure and inaccessible to unauthorized parties.
Collaboration with Security Teams:
  • Collaborate with security engineers, software developers, and network teams to integrate cryptographic solutions into systems and applications. You’ll ensure that encryption is seamlessly embedded into all aspects of the organization’s digital architecture.
Cryptographic Research and Innovation:
  • Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in cryptography, including quantum-safe algorithms and post-quantum cryptography. You’ll research new techniques and recommend innovative cryptographic solutions to enhance the company’s security posture.

Requirements

Required Skills:

  • Cryptography Expertise: Extensive knowledge of cryptographic algorithms, including AES, RSA, ECC, SHA, and modern encryption techniques. You should be well-versed in cryptographic protocols like SSL/TLS, PKI, and digital signatures.
  • Mathematical Proficiency: Strong mathematical foundation, particularly in number theory, algebra, and discrete mathematics, which are essential for designing and analyzing cryptographic algorithms.
  • Cryptanalysis Skills: Experience in cryptanalysis, including the ability to assess the strength of cryptographic systems and identify potential vulnerabilities. You’re skilled in testing encryption systems for weaknesses.
  • Key Management Expertise: Familiarity with key management solutions, secure storage, and encryption key lifecycle management. You understand the importance of securely generating, distributing, and storing cryptographic keys.
  • Development Skills: Experience working with programming languages such as Python, C++, or Java to implement cryptographic functions and integrate encryption into applications.
  • Communication and Collaboration: Ability to communicate complex cryptographic concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You work well with developers and security teams to ensure cryptography is implemented correctly and effectively.
  • Problem-Solving and Analytical Skills: Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to break down complex cryptographic problems into manageable solutions. You think critically about potential attack vectors and how to defend against them.
  • Humor: A great sense of humor, because we believe in fostering a productive and enjoyable work environment. If you can explain cryptography while keeping it engaging, you’re our kind of cryptographer.

Educational Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mathematics, Computer Science, Cryptography, or a related field. Equivalent experience with a proven track record in cryptography is also valued.
  • Certifications such as Certified Encryption Specialist (CES), Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), or Global Information Assurance Certification (GIAC) Cryptography and Encryption (GCFE) are highly desirable.

Experience Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience in cryptography or information security, with hands-on experience designing and implementing encryption algorithms and cryptographic systems.
  • Proven experience in cryptanalysis, vulnerability assessments, and securing communication systems and data using cryptographic methods.
  • Experience working in industries with high-security requirements (such as finance, healthcare, or government) is a plus.

Benefits

Benefits:

  • Health and Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans with low co-pays and premiums.
  • Paid Time Off: Competitive vacation, sick leave, and 20 paid holidays per year.
  • Work-Life Balance: Flexible work schedules and telecommuting options.
  • Professional Development: Opportunities for training, certification reimbursement, and career advancement programs.
  • Wellness Programs: Access to wellness programs, including gym memberships, health screenings, and mental health resources.
  • Life and Disability Insurance: Life insurance and short-term/long-term disability coverage.
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Confidential counseling and support services for personal and professional challenges.
  • Tuition Reimbursement: Financial assistance for continuing education and professional development.
  • Community Engagement: Opportunities to participate in community service and volunteer activities.
  • Recognition Programs: Employee recognition programs to celebrate achievements and milestones.
