Build, test, and automated validation infrastructure for cryptographic correctness, robustness, and compliance

The Security Software team plays a critical role in ensuring product security and trust. The role is to drive both technical excellence and successful delivery of secure systems across the full product lifecycle.

In this position you will be:

Acting as a technical or project lead for security and cryptography-focused initiatives, driving development from requirements through production deployment
Responsible for architecture, design, implementation, and validation of secure software systems leveraging HSMs
Leading complex debugging efforts involving cryptographic failures, integration issues, and system-level security defects
Collaborating with hardware, firmware, and platform teams to ensure seamless and secure integration of cryptographic components
Driving Agile execution, including sprint planning, feature delivery, defect resolution, and CI/CD pipeline improvements
Translating complex security requirements and standards into clear technical specifications, documentation, and design artifacts
Ensuring compliance with relevant security standards and contributing to audit and certification processes

Some possible tasks will be:

Designing and implementing secure cryptographic modules interfacing with HSM devices
Developing and optimizing encryption, decryption, and key lifecycle workflows for performance-sensitive environments
Debugging difficult issues involving key mismatches, cryptographic failures, or HSM communication errors
Building automated test frameworks to validate cryptographic correctness and resilience
Collaborating with cross-functional teams to define secure APIs and system architectures
Mentoring junior engineers on secure coding practices and cryptographic fundamentals
Conducting design and code reviews with a focus on security, scalability, and maintainability
Driving improvements in CI/CD pipelines to incorporate security validation and compliance checks
Staying current with evolving cryptographic standards, vulnerabilities, and threat models

What We're Looking For

Minimum Requirements:
Bachelor’s/Master’s degree/PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field with 17+ years of relevant professional experience,
Strong hands-on experience in systems programming using C and C++, including performance optimization, memory management, and low-level debugging
Proven experience working with Hardware Security Modules (HSM), including integration, configuration, secure key storage, and lifecycle management
Software engineering experience with primary focus on the design, implementation, and validation of modern cryptographic systems (symmetric and asymmetric)
Solid understanding of cryptographic algorithms such as AES, RSA, ECC, hashing, digital signatures, and secure key exchange mechanisms
Experience designing secure software systems aligned with industry standards and best practices for confidentiality, integrity, and availability
Experience working in Agile environments, including sprint planning, backlog management, and iterative feature delivery
Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated build/test frameworks, and production deployments
Strong debugging and root-cause analysis skills, especially across complex software and hardware interactions
Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across cross-functional teams
Strong attention to detail, ownership mindset, and a passion for security engineering, cryptography, and solving complex problems

Nice to have:

Experience with FIPS 140-2/140-3, Common Criteria, PCI PTS or similar certification processes
Familiarity with cryptographic APIs and standards such as PKCS#11, KMIP, TLS, or IPSec
Experience integrating HSMs into distributed systems, cloud environments, or microservices architectures
Understanding of secure boot, trusted execution environments (TEE), and hardware root of trust concepts
Experience with secure software development lifecycle (SSDLC), including threat modeling, static/dynamic analysis, and vulnerability management
Familiarity with side-channel attack mitigations, timing attack prevention, and secure coding practices
Experience with scripting languages (e.g., Python) for automation, testing, or tooling
Exposure to containerization, orchestration, and secure service-to-service communication
Experience mentoring engineers, leading design reviews, and influencing technical direction
Familiarity with debugging tools and techniques across hardware/software boundaries
