Minimum Qualifications:   

  • Master’s Degree with 3+ years of experience, OR PHD with 1+ years of experience in Computer Science, Information Systems, Computer Engineering, Mathematics, or STEM-related field with an emphasis on Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). 

3+ years of experience in: 

  • Publishing cryptography research in peer-reviewed conferences or journals. 

  • Building FHE applications with at least one FHE library. 

  • Understanding lattice-based cryptography. 

  • Working with SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) architecture and programming. 

 

 

Preferred Qualifications: 

  • Currently pursuing a PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field with an emphasis on Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). 

  • Proficiency in software development.
