Job Description

Senior C++ Developer | Post-Quantum Security
📍 Manassas, VA | Hybrid (3 days onsite / 2 remote) | Long-Term Contract
Face-to-Face Interview is MANDATORY

The quantum era is coming. We’re getting our clients ready for it.

This is a senior-level C++ role focused on security initiatives and preparing enterprise applications and systems for post-quantum cryptography. If you've worked on low-level security engineering, PKI infrastructure, or cryptographic implementations — this is your moment.


🔧 What you’ll work on:
• Develop and harden client applications for post-quantum technology readiness
• Security-focused C++ engineering on RHEL/Unix systems
• Shell scripting & Python automation for security workflows
• Collaborate with leads on solution design for medium-to-complex security tasks
• Analyze requirements and independently deliver high-quality, secure code


Must-haves:
• C++ (senior-level, required)
• RHEL / Unix (required)
• Shell scripting (required)
• Python (required)


Strong differentiators:
• PKI experience — public/private keys, keystores, encryption/decryption
• Post-quantum cryptography awareness (NIST PQC standards)
• Java familiarity (preferred, not mandatory)
