Job Title: Cryptographic Systems Expert (Post-Quantum Cryptography Evaluation)
Location: Remote
Clearance: None required (Secret Preferred)
Employment Type: Full Time
Education: Bachelor’s in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, or a related field (Advanced degree preferred)
Work Status: Remote
Salary: $145,000–$185,000
Benefits: Competitive salary and bonus structure, comprehensive health insurance, 401(k) with company match, generous PTO and flexible work options.
Application: Apply here or on our Careers Page @ Careers - Metronome, or email your resume to Careers@wearemetronome.com
Overview:
Metronome is seeking a highly skilled and forward-thinking Cryptographic Systems Expert with deep expertise in Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) to evaluate and develop materials testing large language models (LLMs). This role is focused on creating and analyzing complex cryptographic question-answer scenarios to assess how well LLMs understand, reason through, and offer advice related to quantum-safe cryptographic strategies.
This is an ideal role for candidates who bring a strong foundation in cryptographic algorithms, are up to date on NIST PQC efforts, and are passionate about securing the future of digital systems in a quantum computing world.
Key Responsibilities:
Create robust question-answer pairs evaluating LLM understanding of PQC principles
Analyze quantum resistance of both classical and post-quantum cryptographic algorithms
Recommend quantum-safe alternatives in real-world cryptographic use cases
Explain implications of quantum computing on current and future cryptographic standards
Assess LLM reasoning regarding future threat models and trade-offs in PQC adoption
Evaluate cryptographic advice provided by LLMs against industry and research standards
Required Skills
5+ years of cybersecurity experience, with specific focus on cryptography
Advanced understanding of post-quantum cryptographic techniques
Familiarity with quantum-resistant algorithm types (e.g., lattice-based, code-based)
Knowledge of cryptographic standards such as those from NIST PQC standardization
Strong communication skills, with ability to clearly explain cryptographic trade-offs
Analytical mindset for evaluating security implications of cryptographic design
Familiarity with cryptographic libraries (OpenSSL, Libsodium, etc.)
Proficiency in languages used in crypto: Python, C/C++, Java
Certifications:
OSCP – Offensive Security Certified Professional
CEH – Certified Ethical Hacker
Desired Skills (Optional)
Preferred Experience:
● Familiarity with cryptographic software and tools used in the evaluation and implementation of PQC.
● Participation in cryptographic research or contributions to academic publications in the field of post-quantum cryptography.
