## About the role

As a Staff AI Security & Crypto Engineer, you will architect and deliver enterprise-scale security solutions that integrate cryptographic systems with machine learning, reasoning engines, and real-time inference. You will bring deep expertise in applied cryptography, strong technical leadership, and hands-on machine learning depth — designing and operating intelligent, adaptive security systems for key management, PKI, and secrets infrastructure at SaaS scale.

## What they're looking for

- 8+ years of experience in professional software engineering experience
- Java, Go, or a comparable strongly-typed language at production scale
- Strong CS fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, OO design, distributed systems tradeoffs
- Production experience running services on Kubernetes (deployments, Helm, CI/CD) in a SaaS/multi-tenant environment — this is assumed, not a differentiator
- Working understanding of core cryptographic primitives (symmetric/asymmetric encryption, hashing, digital signatures, TLS/PKI fundamentals)
- Demonstrated security-first engineering habits: secure coding practices, threat modeling, code review discipline
