Our client is looking for a Quantum Cryptography Architect's to join their team.
Our client is a leading, multi-award-winning UK digital bank on a mission to transform banking through cutting-edge technology, customer-centric service, and strong core values. As a licensed bank that operates with a tech-first, flat-structure mindset, they provide scalable financial platforms to millions of retail and business customers across modern cloud infrastructure.
Sitting within the Security Architecture team, this role plays a pivotal strategic part in guiding and safeguarding the organisation's technology platforms. While covering end-to-end security architecture across cloud-native environments, the role carries a specialised focus on Cryptography and Post-Quantum Readiness—owning the strategic design of cryptographic roadmaps, evaluating algorithms, driving crypto-agility, and ensuring long-term resilience against emerging quantum threats.
- Proven track record in an Information Security Architect or Senior Security Engineering role designing secure, distributed systems within modern cloud environments (AWS/GCP).
- Comprehensive theoretical and practical expertise in symmetric/asymmetric cryptography, digital signatures, PKI management, Key Management Systems (KMS), and Hardware Security Modules (HSMs).
- Deep understanding of quantum computing threats to modern encryption, NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards, hybrid key exchange, and crypto-agility strategies.
- Hands-on capability in threat modeling and secure system design across cloud-native architectures, microservices, APIs, and container platforms (Kubernetes, ECS).
- Pragmatic problem solver who views security as an engineering enabler, capable of designing robust controls that minimise developer friction.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with experience distilling complex cryptographic risks into clear architecture documentation (RFCs, ADRs) and guidance for technical teams and senior stakeholders.
- Desirable background in regulated financial services/banking, experience with the SABSA framework, hands-on Proof of Concept (PoC) security engineering, or industry certifications (e.g., CISSP, SABSA, AWS Security Specialty).
