Description

We are seeking an experienced Crypto and Quantum Security Architect to lead a critical engagement. You will be instrumental in guiding Customers Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) readiness program. The initial focus of this role will be to establish a comprehensive Crypto Bill of Materials (CBOM) for the most critical applications, a foundational step in their journey towards quantum-resistant security. This is a hands-on role that requires both architectural guidance and technical expertise to deploy and manage crypto inventory solutions.

Key Responsibilities

- PQC Program Leadership: Spearhead the PQC readiness initiative, acting as the primary technical advisor and subject matter expert on all aspects of cryptographic modernization.
- Crypto Inventory Tool Deployment: Take ownership of the end-to-end implementation and configuration of crypto inventory tools within the infrastructure.
- Crypto Asset Discovery: Utilize the deployed tools to conduct a discovery of all cryptographic assets, including algorithms, protocols, certificates, and keys, across the high-critical applications.
- Source Code Analysis: Apply basic programming and scripting skills to generate and interpret crypto inventories from the source code of bespoke,



in-house applications where standard tools may not suffice.
- Crypto Bill of Materials (CBOM) Development: Create and maintain a detailed and accurate Crypto Bill of Materials (CBOM) for applications identified as critical.
- Vulnerability and Risk Analysis: Analyze the CBOM to identify cryptographic vulnerabilities, legacy dependencies, and areas of risk related to non-PQC compliant algorithms.
- Reporting and Compliance: Prepare and submit comprehensive reports, detailing the findings from the CBOM and outlining the Customers PQC readiness posture.
- Stakeholder Collaboration: Work closely with application owners, development teams, and security personnel to ensure a collaborative and efficient engagement.

Qualifications and Skills

- Cryptographic Expertise: A solid and demonstrable background in applied cryptography, including an understanding of symmetric and asymmetric encryption, digital signatures, hash functions, and key management principles.
- Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Knowledge: Knowledge of PQC algorithms, the ongoing standardization efforts (e.g., NIST PQC), and the practical challenges associated with migrating to quantum-resistant cryptography.
