Senior Post-Quantum Cryptography & Cybersecurity Specialist

We are seeking a senior Post-Quantum Cryptography & Cybersecurity Specialist to support a strategic security initiative focused on preparing mission-critical communications and infrastructure for the transition to quantum-resistant cryptographic technologies.

The engagement combines technical assessment, architecture, implementation, validation, and migration planning. The successful candidate will contribute to a controlled pilot deployment designed to demonstrate the practical adoption of quantum-safe cryptography within a highly secure enterprise environment.

Role Overview

The specialist will help assess exposure to future quantum-related cryptographic risks and support the design and implementation of a limited-scale post-quantum security solution.

The role requires strong expertise across cybersecurity, cryptographic architecture, post-quantum cryptography, integration, security validation, and transition planning.

A key objective will be to establish a practical and repeatable approach for migrating existing communications and security services toward quantum-resilient technologies.

Key Responsibilities

Responsibilities may include:

• Assessing current cryptographic dependencies and identifying quantum-related vulnerabilities
• Performing cryptographic inventory and risk assessments
• Evaluating the impact of emerging quantum threats on existing security mechanisms
• Supporting the design of quantum-safe and crypto-agile architectures
• Selecting and implementing appropriate post-quantum cryptographic approaches
• Supporting pilot deployments within secured network environments
• Integrating new cryptographic capabilities with existing infrastructure and security services
• Performing interoperability, performance, resilience, and migration assessments
• Supporting technical testing and validation
• Contributing to security accreditation and operational acceptance activities
• Identifying implementation risks, technical constraints, and integration dependencies
• Developing migration strategies and phased transition roadmaps
• Producing technical recommendations, lessons learned, and implementation guidance
• Supporting demonstrations, technical workshops, and stakeholder reviews
• Translating pilot results into recommendations for broader enterprise adoption

Post-Quantum Cryptography Expertise

Candidates should have strong knowledge of modern cryptography and the emerging post-quantum ecosystem, including areas such as:

• Post-quantum cryptographic algorithms
• Quantum threat modelling
• Crypto-agility
• Hybrid cryptographic approaches
• Public Key Infrastructure
• Digital certificates
• Key management
• Secure communications
• TLS and related security protocols
• Cryptographic lifecycle
