Security Researcher (Cryptography)

About the Role

As a Security Researcher specializing in Cryptography, you will be at the forefront of securing our platform against emerging threats, including post-quantum adversaries. You will analyze cryptographic protocols, identify vulnerabilities, and design secure systems.

Responsibilities

• Conduct deep research into cryptographic algorithms and protocols.
• Identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities in our products and infrastructure.
• Design and implement secure cryptographic solutions for our platform.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to integrate security best practices.
• Publish research findings and represent Qelens at industry conferences.

Qualifications

• PhD or MS in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field with a focus on cryptography.
• Proven track record of discovering vulnerabilities and publishing security research.
• Deep understanding of modern cryptographic primitives (e.g., public-key cryptography, zero-knowledge proofs).
• Strong programming skills in Python, Rust, or C++.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities.
