About the position

As a Cryptographic Engineer, you will be responsible for designing and supporting the implementation of robust encryption solutions to protect sensitive data across our organization, both on-premise and in cloud environments. This role is critical in ensuring the security of our data and will involve close collaboration with cross-functional teams to align cryptographic strategies with business objectives and regulatory requirements. You will leverage your deep understanding of encryption technologies, key management, cryptographic protocols, and best practices for data security and cloud-based cryptography to contribute to our cryptographic strategy and roadmaps. Your primary responsibilities will include developing and maintaining encryption strategies and policies to safeguard sensitive data at rest, in transit, and in use. You will design, implement, enhance, maintain, and test encryption solutions for various systems and applications used throughout the enterprise, with a particular focus on cloud platforms. Evaluating cryptographic protocols and algorithms to select the most appropriate ones based on security requirements and industry standards will be a key part of your role. You will also provide a fresh perspective on existing solutions, participate in resolving complex problems, and exercise judgment based on the analysis of multiple sources of information. Collaboration with security architects will be essential to review and enhance the overall security architecture, particularly concerning encryption-related controls and mechanisms. You will ensure that all encryption solutions comply with relevant regulatory requirements and industry standards, conduct risk assessments, and implement mitigation strategies to address encryption-related risks. Additionally, you will provide expertise in encryption-related incident response and forensic investigations, assisting in identifying root causes and implementing remediation measures. Leading cybersecurity projects with manageable risks and resource requirements will also be part of your responsibilities, along with conducting training sessions and awareness programs to educate employees on encryption best practices and promote a culture of security awareness.
