What you’ll be doing:

As an evolutionQ Software Architect, you will play a leading role in a small team creating Spring Boot based microservices within a large-scale distributed quantum-safe cryptographic solution. You will use your knowledge of how all parts of a system interconnect, your design creativity, and your security architecture experience to define and build quantum-safe solutions.

As a key team member, your forward thinking and your eye on current and upcoming technologies will bring our ideas to life. With our founders, leaders in quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and quantum-safe cybersecurity, you will steer and marshal evolutionQ’s product vision towards managing cybersecurity threats posed by the development of a quantum computer. Your software architecture specs will provide the groundwork for our Development team to define and build the system-level architecture for our products. As Software Architect, you will collaborate with others through ETSI and other standards bodies on the development of globally applicable standards for Information & Communication Technology (ICT) systems and services.
