We partner with agencies to solve tomorrow’s toughest problems today, whether that’s advancing cyber-asset visibility, driving cryptographic modernization, or engineering readiness for the post-quantum era. SERVISS engineers operate at the intersection of strategy, risk management, and cutting-edge defensive technologies to secure complex mission systems against emerging threats. Position SummarySERVISS is seeking a Senior Quantum Readiness & Cryptography Engineer to lead the strategy, architecture, implementation, and operational readiness for quantum-resilient cryptographic systems and programs. This technical leader will collaborate with cross-functional teams, government stakeholders, and engineering partners to advance quantum transition initiatives, post-quantum cryptographic standards adoption, and cryptographic inventory automation across enterprise environments. Successful candidates will blend deep cybersecurity systems engineering experience with practical understanding of quantum-era readiness frameworks and cryptographic lifecycle management. This role is hybrid and will require some on-site work at a federal agency with opportunities to also perform remote. Key Responsibilities

  • Lead enterprise-wide quantum readiness programs and cryptographic modernization efforts
  • Define and execute engineering strategies for post-quantum cryptography (PQC) transition
  • Build and operationalize automated cryptographic discovery, inventory, and risk analysis capabilities
  • Evaluate tools and technologies for cryptographic inventory, quantum-safe algorithms, and crypto-agile architectures
  • Interface with stakeholders to translate mission needs into secure, scalable engineering designs
  • Develop system architecture, migration roadmaps, and engineering artifacts for PQC deployments
  • Integrate quantum readiness outputs into governance, risk, and compliance reporting and tooling
  • Mentor and coach mid-level engineers to grow capabilities in cryptographic engineering and quantum risk management
  • Support audit, compliance, and continuous monitoring efforts for cryptographic controls and lifecycle management

Required Qualifications

  • 8+ years of progressive cybersecurity systems engineering experience
  • Demonstrated expertise in cryptographic engineering, algorithm transition planning, and large-scale security programs
  • Understanding of emerging quantum threats and “harvest now, decrypt later” risk models
  • Hands-on experience with cryptographic discovery, inventory, or analysis platforms
  • Proficiency with post-quantum cryptography standards and migration paradigms
  • Strong background in PKI, key lifecycle management, and secure protocol engineering
  • Experience translating security requirements into systems architecture in federal / CIO environments
  • Familiarity with NIST, NSA, or equivalent standards driving quantum-resilient cryptography
  • Proven ability to develop engineering documentation, technical roadmaps, and operational playbooks
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills with technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Advanced degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Mathematics, or related field
  • Prior experience with federal PQC readiness or mandatory federal timelines (e.g., M-23-02)
  • Experience with automation and scripting for cryptographic discovery and governance (Python, PowerShell, etc.)
  • Technical certifications such as CISSP, CSSLP, or vendor-specific crypto / security credentials
  • Freedom to Thrive.Why Join SERVISS?
