Experis-US; Phoenix (AZ); On-site; USD 74,000 - 105,000; Full time

Job summary

ManpowerGroup’s Experis data security client in Phoenix is seeking a Cryptography Engineer to define enterprise cryptographic architecture and drive modernization efforts across payment and non-payment environments. You will lead PQC readiness, crypto‑agility, and crypto lifecycle initiatives, and shape architectures for HSMs, key management, and cloud-native cryptography.

The role requires translating security requirements into reusable patterns and prototypes, with the ability to communicate

Qualifications

• Significant experience in cryptographic engineering, cybersecurity architecture, or security engineering in a large-scale technology environment.
• Deep knowledge of symmetric and asymmetric cryptography, encryption, digital signatures, hashing, TLS, and modern cryptographic protocols.
• Strong experience with HSMs, enterprise key-management systems, PKI, certificates, and cryptographic key lifecycle management.
• Ability to translate security requirements into working architectures and reusable engineering patterns, with hands-on capability to build prototypes and integrations.
• Experience communicating cryptographic concepts, risks, and architecture decisions to engineers and senior leadership.

Responsibilities

• Define enterprise cryptographic architecture and strategic patterns across environments (payments and non-payments).
• Lead post-quantum cryptography readiness and crypto-agility initiatives, including CBOM and migration roadmaps.
• Provide architecture leadership for payment cryptography, including payment HSMs and key management.
• Design modern approaches for enterprise encryption, PKI, cloud-native cryptography, and certificate management.
• Translate Data Security standards into architecture-as-code, reference implementations, APIs, and automated guardrails; prototype and implement solutions with engineering teams.

Job description

Our client, a data security organization, is seeking a Cryptography Engineer to join their team. As a Cryptography Engineer, you will be part of the Data Security team supporting enterprise cryptographic architecture and modernization. The ideal candidate will have deep cryptographic expertise, strong software engineering and automation capability, and the ability to translate security requirements into reusable architecture patterns that engineering teams can implement. Job Title: Cryptography Engineer Location: Phoenix, Arizona Pay Range: 65/hr

What’s the Job?

Define enterprise cryptographic architecture and strategic patterns across payment and non-payment environments, including applications, APIs, databases, cloud platforms, and infrastructure. Lead post-quantum cryptography (PQC) readiness and crypto-agility, including cryptographic inventory and Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM), identifying quantum-vulnerable implementations, and driving migration and modernization roadmaps. Provide architecture leadership for payment cryptography, including payment HSMs, payment key management, cryptographic key hierarchies, and applicable PCI requirements. Design modern approaches for enterprise encryption, key management, HSM/HSMaaS, PKI and certificates, digital signatures, and cloud-native cryptography. Translate Data Security standards into architecture-as-code, reusable engineering patterns, reference implementations, APIs, and automated security guardrails—then partner with engineering teams to prototype, validate, and implement solutions.

What’s Needed?

• Significant experience in cryptographic engineering, cybersecurity architecture, applied cryptography, or security engineering in a large-scale technology environment.
• Deep knowledge of symmetric and asymmetric cryptography, encryption, digital signatures, hashing, TLS, key establishment and exchange, and modern cryptographic protocols.
• Strong experience with HSMs, enterprise key-management systems, PKI, certificates, and cryptographic key lifecycle management.
• Demonstrated ability to translate security requirements into working technical architectures and reusable engineering patterns, with hands‑on engineering capability to build prototypes and integrations.
• Experience working across engineering, architecture, product, and cybersecurity organizations, including the ability to communicate complex cryptographic concepts, risks, and architecture decisions to engineering teams and senior leadership.

What’s in it for me?

Work at the intersection of cybersecurity, data governance, and privacy—helping protect confidentiality, integrity, and availability across platforms and environments. Turn cryptographic strategy and standards into capabilities engineers can directly consume: standards → architecture → code and patterns → enterprise services → automated assurance. Lead major transitions such as post-quantum readiness and crypto-agility, helping the enterprise prepare for evolving cryptographic requirements. Drive adoption of strategic enterprise cryptographic services and identify opportunities to simplify or retire fragmented and legacy implementations. Mentor architects and engineers and raise cryptographic engineering capability across the organization.

Upon completion of waiting period consultants are eligible for:

• Medical and Prescription Drug Plans
• Dental Plan
• Vision Plan
• Health Savings Account
• Health Flexible Spending Account
• Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account
• Supplemental Life Insurance
• Short Term and Long Term Disability Insurance
• Business Travel Insurance
• 401(k), Plus Match
• Weekly Pay

We look forward to speaking with you!
