Job DescriptionDescription SAIC is seeking a knowledgeable and skilled
Cryptographic Systems Expert to join our team. The successful candidate will be responsible for creating and evaluating question-answer pairs to assess the understanding and application of post-quantum cryptography concepts by test subjects. This role requires a deep understanding of cryptographic principles, particularly in the context of quantum computing, and the ability to craft scenarios that test the test subject's ability to provide accurate and forward-thinking cryptographic advice.
Key Responsibilities: - Develop comprehensive question and answer pairs that assess the test subject's understanding of post-quantum cryptography concepts.
- Evaluate the quantum resistance of classical and post-quantum algorithms presented by the test subject.
- Suggest appropriate quantum-safe alternatives for various cryptographic scenarios.
- Analyze and explain the implications of quantum computing on current cryptographic standards.
- Assess the test subject's ability to reason about future attack scenarios and the trade-offs involved in PQC implementations.
Qualifications Required Skills and Qualifications:- Extensive knowledge of cryptographic principles, with a focus on post-quantum cryptography.
- Familiarity with quantum-resistant algorithms such as lattice-based, hash-based, code-based, and multivariate polynomial cryptography.
- Experience with cryptographic standards and protocols, including NIST's post-quantum cryptography standardization efforts.
- Ability to reason about and articulate the trade-offs and implications of different cryptographic approaches in a post-quantum world.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to evaluate complex cryptographic scenarios.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain technical concepts.
Target salary range: $120,001 - $160,000. The estimate displayed represents the typical salary range for this position based on experience and other factors.
Overview SAIC accepts applications on an ongoing basis and there is no deadline.
