Software Engineer – Quantum Security

Role Overview

• Support the testing, validation, and operational readiness of post‑quantum cryptography (PQC) and quantum security solutions across lab, pilot, and pre‑production environments.
• Assist with onboarding, configuration, and ongoing support of tools used by the Quantum Security team.
• Assist in the coordination and execution of structured evaluations of vendor solutions and emerging technologies, supporting testing activities and analysis with a focus on usability, performance, and operational fit within enterprise environments.
• Partner closely with vendors and sourcing teams to evaluate quantum‑safe solutions through hands‑on testing, product walkthroughs, and technical due diligence.
• Provide input into vendor selection, procurement decisions, and integration planning.
• Assist with documenting research findings, contributing to invention disclosures, and supporting patent‑related efforts by capturing technical details, use cases, and differentiators of quantum security innovations, and tracking team submissions.
• Produce clear, actionable documentation on evaluations, implementation considerations, risks, and recommendations to support decision‑making by security, architecture, and leadership teams.
• Enhance day‑to‑day team operations by improving processes, documentation standards, and testing approaches.
• Develop reusable templates, scripts, and lightweight tools to streamline evaluations and vendor onboarding.
• Collaborate with architects, cryptographers, risk, legal, and procurement stakeholders to ensure alignment across technology, compliance, and sourcing activities.
