We’re looking for a highly skilled and motivated Senior Security Advisor - Cryptography to join our best-in-class Data Protection group. You will be at the forefront of analyzing the impact of quantum computing on current cryptographic systems and developing strategies for a secure transition to post-quantum cryptography.

• Conduct in-depth research and analysis of quantum algorithms (e.g., Shor's algorithm) and their potential to break existing cryptographic methods.
• Apply advanced knowledge of cryptography to deliver post-quantum cryptography capabilities, including understanding of algorithms and the impact of quantum computing capabilities.
• Evaluate security vulnerabilities of current cryptographic protocols and infrastructure against emerging quantum capabilities.
• Identify and assess potential post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms and standards (e.g., NIST PQC competition winners).
• Develop and implement strategies for migrating to and adopting PQC algorithms within our systems and products.
• Collaborate with cryptography advisors and software developers to integrate PQC solutions.
• Monitor advancements in quantum computing hardware and software and their implications for cryptography.
• Lead the development and update of cryptography technical standards.
• Contribute to the development of internal PQC standards, guidelines, and best practices.
• Analyze the performance and security of PQC implementations.
• Stay informed on the latest research and developments in quantum computing and cryptography.
• Communicate complex technical findings effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Potentially contribute to developing new quantum-resistant cryptographic solutions.

• Solid understanding of classical cryptography, including symmetric and asymmetric encryption, hash functions, digital signatures, and cryptographic protocols (e.g., RSA, ECC, AES, TLS).
• Strong knowledge of quantum mechanics, quantum information theory, and quantum computing principles.
• Familiarity with quantum algorithms relevant to cryptography (e.g., Shor's and Grover's algorithms).
• 6-10 years of hands-on experience with cryptographic analysis techniques and security proofs.
• Programming proficiency in languages such as Python, C++, or Java.
• Experience with cryptographic libraries and security frameworks.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.
• Strong communication and presentation skills to explain complex concepts clearly.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team environment.
• Strong interest in cryptography and quantum computing's future.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in computer science or a related field with relevant cryptography or quantum information science experience.
• Experience with post-quantum cryptography algorithms and standards.
• Knowledge of quantum computing software platforms and simulators (e.g., Qiskit, Cirq).
• Experience with Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) and Key Management systems.
• Understanding of security vulnerabilities and attack vectors in cryptographic systems.
• Experience in developing or implementing cryptographic solutions.
• Research or publication experience in cryptography or quantum computing is a plus.
• For candidates in Quebec, bilingualism in English and French is required.
• No Canadian work experience required, but must be eligible to work in Canada.

Our hybrid work model balances remote work and in-person collaboration. As a permanent team member, you can expect:

• A financial rewards program recognizing your success.
• An industry-leading Employee Share Purchase Plan with 50% match on net shares purchased.
• An extensive benefits package, including virtual healthcare.
• Flexible work arrangements.
• Option to purchase up to 5 extra days off annually.
• An annual wellness account supporting a healthy lifestyle.
• Tools and resources for physical and mental health, embracing change, and connecting with colleagues.
• A comprehensive learning ecosystem with courses, content, and programs.
• Inclusive employee networks fostering diversity and development.
