The role requires practical experience in quantum‑safe security and/or quantum computing, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear business and delivery outcomes. The role is expected to have a primary focus on quantum safety, including post‑quantum cryptography readiness, and a secondary focus on quantum computing use cases such asoptimization, machinelearningand simulation.

Key responsibilities
- Support the development of quantum safety and quantum computing solutions, prototypes and demonstrations.
- Contribute to post‑quantum cryptography readiness assessments, including data gathering, analysis and documentation.
- Develop and evaluate quantum algorithms and workflows for selected optimization, machine learning and simulation use cases.
- Build and maintain software tools, accelerators and proof‑of‑concept assets using established engineering practices.
- Prepare technical documentation, assessment reports and presentation materials for internal and external stakeholders.
- Collaborate with cross‑functional teams including cybersecurity, AI/ML, platform engineering and product teams.
- Participate in testing, validation and benchmarking activities to assess solution performance and applicability.
- Stay current on developments in quantum computing, post‑quantum cryptography and related emerging technologies.
- Support quantum risk assessments and identify areas that may require future cryptographic modernization.




- Assist in prototyping and benchmarking post‑quantum cryptography algorithms within applications and services.
- Contribute to analysis of quantum‑safe and hybrid cryptographic approaches and document findings.
- Support development of crypto‑inventory and discovery capabilities to identify legacy cryptography dependencies.
- Execute testing of hybrid key exchange mechanisms and document performance observations.
- Assist with implementation and validation of crypto‑agility patterns, certificate updates and key management enhancements.
- Contribute to creation and maintenance of migration guides, standards documentation and operational runbooks. Quantum Compute & Algorithms:
- Support experimentation and testing to assess the practicality of quantum use cases.
- Build proof‑of‑concept solutions for optimization, simulation and emerging Quantum + AI use cases.
- Perform basic resource estimation and analysis of quantum circuits and algorithm performance.
- Compare classical and quantum approaches and document observations and recommendations.
- Maintain reproducible experimentation environments using Python, Jupyter notebooks, containers and source control tools. Knowledge and Skills

Requirements:
- Foundational understanding of quantum computing concepts, including qubits, gates, quantum circuits and current hardware limitations.
- Basic understanding of post‑quantum cryptography concepts,



key encapsulation mechanisms, digital signatures and emerging standards.
