Applied Cryptographer

The role

You will work on cryptographic foundations to establish identity, delegate authority, and protect sensitive data. You will design identity and access systems, build credentialing and key management infrastructure, and develop secure protocols.

What you will do

• Turn security requirements into precise and durable mechanisms.
• Design identity and access systems.
• Build credentialing and key management infrastructure.
• Develop secure and privacy-preserving protocols.
• Evaluate existing systems against realistic attack models.

Nice to have

• Designed and implemented identity and access management systems that use cryptographic techniques to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive data.
• Developed cryptographic protocols to enable secure communication between distributed systems and trusted services.
• Designed and implemented privacy-enhancing technologies to enable secure transactions and communication while preserving users' privacy.
• Built secure key management systems, credentialing infrastructure, and other tools to enable users to manage cryptographic material securely.
• Analyzed and evaluated the security of existing distributed systems and identifying potential vulnerabilities or weaknesses that need to be addressed.
• Researched and developed new cryptographic techniques to address emerging security challenges in modern software systems.
