The Role You will be responsible for distribution platforms used by the Cybersecurity-sponsored initiatives. The accountabilities range from creating, testing and implementing packages that leverage client platforms that distribute said payloads in a safe and controlled manner to targeted hosts. Furthermore, this role will be responsible for tuning the configuration in such a way as to efficiently retrieve results from the payloads so as to not overwhelm the corporate network. It is anticipated that problem fix and root cause analysis are part and parcel of the role.

Key Responsibilities

• Distribution of quantum-safe tools: integrate quantum-safe tooling, such as cryptographic scanning, into distribution solutions.
• Support other aspects of the deployment of quantum-safe tooling, especially cryptographic scanning, including their design, usage, integration into CI/CD pipelines, the digestion and integration of output data into data lakes, and schemes that can lead to actionable insights.
• Code practices: promote secure coding practices across full stack development efforts and perform thorough code reviews, where appropriate.
• Design & Integration: Architect, test, develop, integrate and deploy quantum-safe solutions, including post-quantum cryptography, into existing systems.

Experience & Skills Required

• Senior engineering or security engineering background
• Experience deploying and operating enterprise-scale agent-based platforms
• Strong Linux administration and troubleshooting skills
• Experience working across Windows, Linux and cloud environments
• Experience building or supporting high-volume data pipelines
• Strong integration and data extraction capabilities
• Experience orchestrating large-scale scanning or discovery activities
• Expertise in Tanium and Crowdstrike with minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in enterprise environments of more than 10,000 nodes.
• Demonstrated track record in integrating solutions at enterprise level.
• Proven experience in secure coding, DevSecOps practices, and vulnerability assessments in highly regulated environments (preferably in the financial sector).

Preferred experience:

• Enterprise cybersecurity tooling
• Cryptographic inventory solutions
• Public Key Infrastructure, encryption or cryptography
• Post-quantum cryptography or broader quantum-safe programmes
• Experience with quantum-safe solutions, including cryptographic agility, post-quantum cryptography, and discovery and inventory tooling.
• Cryptography: experience mapping cryptography flows, dependencies, and trust chains, based on architectural designs and cryptographic inventories.
• System design: experience designing applications and services.
