Job Description
About the position
SERVISS LLC is a HUBZone-certified cybersecurity and mission engineering firm delivering transformative cyber solutions for federal, defense, and intelligence customers. 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.
SERVISS 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.
- 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
- Requirements
- 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
- Nice-to-haves
- 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
- Benefits
- Be part of an exciting company with ground floor opportunities to include equity
- Highly competitive compensation and best in class benefits
- 100% of medical, vision, dental, and life insurance premiums paid for by SERVISS
- Opportunities for annual performance bonuses, growth incentives, and profit-sharing
- 401(k) retirement plan with 6% dollar for dollar match
