About the JobThe Security Technologies crypto team is seeking a Senior Software Engineer who is a technical leader, creative and committed to delivering quality software. Our team is focused on cryptographic back-end components such as OpenSSL, GnuTLS and Network Security Services as well as cryptographic protocols like TLS, SSH and IPSEC. As a Senior Software Engineer, your main focus will be on designing, developing, testing and collaborating with other contributors over the world to bring features on existing components. This is an ideal position for engineers interested in contributing to open source projects, and developing cryptographic software to be used by millions of users and applications. This position is intended to be specially focused on the area around Smart Cards and their integration in the operating system. Smart cards are personal hardware (physical) cryptographic modules for storing cryptographic keys and for handling operations using them securely. As a Senior Software Engineer, your main focus will be on assisting the design, development, testing to bring features on existing smart card drivers in OpenSC project as well as implementing and testing future generations of Post Quantum Cryptography capable Smart Cards. What you will doLead the design and development of software solutions for a Smart Cards subsystem, own the quality of their code and contribute to testing frameworks.Participate in the whole development cycle from requirements gathering, scoping, source code development to testing and verificationDesign and implement new features in cryptographic back-endsImprove and simplify crypto libraries API to reduce misuseActively contribute to Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux developmentCommunicate and collaborate with developers and teams inside and outside Red HatInfluence the technical direction of their team and adjacent teams by building consensus in broader discussions with internal customers or through active participation in external communitiesMentor and coach other engineers, share expertise by producing comprehensive design documents, writing blog posts, and mentoring others on documentation and communication best practicesWhat you will have5+ years of professional software engineering experience with a primary focus on cryptographyC / Rust programming experience; professional or academic experience is requiredKnowledge of Linux operating system and its development tools; any distribution is OKAcademic or engineering background in security engineering or cryptographyFamiliarity with TLS/SSL, IPSec/IKE or SSH protocol.Knowledge of PKCS#11 or PKIX technologiesFamiliarity with the use of crypto libraries like OpenSSL, GnuTLS or NSSKnowledge and proven experience in crypto algorithm or protocol implementationsThe following will be considered a plus:Demonstrated ability to join open source projects and contributeKnowledge of PythonExperience and passion in regards the AI-assisted development#LI-EK1R...
