Full Stack Engineer

Our client is looking Full Stack Engineer to help design and build their cryptographic governance platform. You'll work directly with their Head of Engineering across their core platform and sensor microservices, helping federal and commercial customers find and fix cryptographic vulnerabilities ahead of NIST's post-quantum deadlines.

This is an early, high-ownership role: you'll shape architecture, set engineering standards, and see your work land in production environments at regulated enterprises and defense organizations.

into a unified inventory

• Vulnerability assessment & prioritization – flagging legacy/deprecated algorithms

and building frameworks that help customers prioritize remediation

Front-end components for:

• Data visualization – dashboard widgets summarizing findings across cryptographic inventories

• Inventory exploration – searchable, filterable views for drilling into discovered

cryptographic objects and their relationships
