<p>ID Quantique (IDQ), part of IonQ, is a global leader in quantum-safe communications. We provide solutions to protect governments, telecommunication infrastructures, and banking & financial institutions from the “harvest-now, decrypt-later” threat, delivering both terrestrial and space-based quantum-safe networks in live operation globally.</p>
<p><strong>The Role: <br></strong></p>
<p>We are looking for a Staff Cryptography Engineer to join our team building post-quantum cryptography (PQC) hardware acceleration for HSM and network-appliance products. You will implement the software side of modern post-quantum algorithms: reference models, optimised implementations, and the test infrastructure that proves they are correct. This is a hands-on development role at the heart of applied cryptography, working with some of the most experienced cryptographic engineers in the field.</p>
<p><strong>Responsibilities</strong>:</p>
<p>You will implement and maintain reference and bit-accurate models of ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA/LMS in C/C++/Rust and Python, develop constant-time software implementations of cryptographic functions, and build out the known-answer-test and test-vector tooling (NIST ACVP) used for verification and CAVP certification. You will contribute to the decomposition of algorithms into hardware-friendly building blocks (Keccak, NTT and polynomial arithmetic, samplers, encode/decode), support RTL and firmware engineers with algorithm questions and debugging, and help evaluate third-party cryptographic libraries, working under the guidance of our senior cryptography engineers.</p>
<ul>
<li>Implement reference models, optimised software and test-vector infrastructure for ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA/LMS</li>
<li>Support hardware and firmware teams with algorithm expertise, debugging and certification-oriented tooling</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Requirements:</strong></p>
<p>We are looking for a candidate with a Master’s degree (PhD a plus) in Cryptography, Mathematics, Computer Science or a related field and at least five years of experience implementing cryptographic algorithms or security-critical software in C/C++ or Rust. You have solid understanding of modern cryptographic primitives and ideally first exposure to post-quantum schemes (lattice-based or hash-based) and their underlying mathematics.</p>
<p>You care about correctness and write well-tested, readable code; you understand what constant-time implementation means and why it matters. Familiarity with NIST test-vector formats, CAVP/ACVP or certification-oriented development is a plus. Fluency in English is required; French or German is an advantage.</p>
<ul>
<li>Hands-on developer of cryptographic or security-critical software with strong C/C++/Rust skills</li>
<li>Solid cryptographic foundations with the ambition to build deep post-quantum expertise</li>
</ul>
