Principal Cryptography Architect
Location: Arlington, VA
Work Type: Hybrid
Remote Work: 20%
Job Description
Everyone understands security needs to be “baked in” to a system architecture, but you know how to bake it in. You can identify and implement ways to harden systems and reduce their attack surface. What if you could use your cyber cryptographic expertise to design and build secure systems for senior DoD clients? We’re looking for a crypto architect who can create solutions for senior DoD clients that will stand up to even the most advanced cyber threats.
As a lead cryptography architect, you’ll serve as a trusted advisor to senior DoD clients leading cryptographic modernization efforts across the department. You'll develop architecture and technical protocols, perform computation analysis, and review and coordinate cryptography policies and guidance at the DoD levels while coordinating work across Combatant Commands, Services, and Agencies to support the warfighter and promote a Joint enterprise of information systems and networks. We need to come up with the best solution, so you’ll investigate new techniques, break free from the legacy model, and go where the industry is going.
This is a chance to lead a team to make a difference in the security of cryptographic capabilities. Your technical expertise will be vital as you help customers overcome their most difficult challenges by integrating secure practices like cryptographic modernization and key management. You’ll be able to broaden your skillset into areas like high-level DoD policy and strategy while building peace of mind in a critical infrastructure. Join our team as we transform obsolete encryption through cybersecurity. As a technical leader, you’ll identify new opportunities to use cybersecurity solutions to help your clients meet their toughest challenges. This position is located in Arlington, VA.
