Required

Software development experience in at least one of homomorphic encryption, secure multiparty computation, security protocols, PAKE protocols, zero knowledge proofs, or pallier encryption

Strong understanding of encryption and key management

Experience in systems architecture, computer architecture, trustworthy computing, or cryptographic protocols

Experience in system algorithms with performance understanding and optimizations (hardware and software)

Experience integrating or deploying in production environments

Familiarity with a modern programming language (e.g., Rust, Python, C++, Scala) and a shell environment

Experience in researching and addressing complex business topics around TPMs, HSMs, TEEs, secure build infrastructure, and applied cryptography. Candidates without a strong understanding in one of these areas may still be a strong candidate if this is offset by a strong background in a systems security area (e.g., operating systems, embedded systems security, firmware security, network security engineering)

Strong understanding of systems/network security, secure protocol design, secure build and supply chain management, encryption, authentication, key management and applied cryptography

Demonstrated ability to convert theoretical security concepts into production

Proficiency in a common scripting language including but not limited to Python, Ruby, etc.

Able to troubleshoot and debug issues, and demonstrate a methodical approach to root cause analysis

Experience working with engineering teams, teaching, training, and mentoring on how to implement best-practice technical solutions

Strong written and verbal communication skills; attentive to details

Preferred

4+ years experience in software development with a focus in applied cryptography

2+ years experience in reading/writing code in Rust, Python, Linux, Scala, C/C++

2+ years experience with secure software that makes use of a trusted platform module (TPM), hardware security module (HSM), trusted execution environment (TEE), smartcard, and/or other similar hardware key storage mechanism

Solid understanding of product management and product ownership, software development practices (e.g., SDLC), and methodologies

Knowledge of hardware security, verified/secure boot, tamper resistance, side-channel attacks, anti-cloning, and PUFs

Having prior knowledge in the blockchain space is not a requirement but good to have
