Description

Description

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.
