Key Responsibilities Research & Development: Lead the analysis and use of cryptographic protocols, focusing on MPC, quantum‑safe cryptography, and ZKPs. Solution Implementation: Architect and implement cryptographic solutions for privacy and confidentiality in financial and non‑financial applications, including blockchain‑based systems. Collaboration: Work closely with other cryptographers, product, engineering and compliance teams to integrate advanced cryptographic techniques into real‑world financial products and services. Security Assessment: Evaluate and enhance the security of existing and new cryptographic protocols, ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements. Thought Leadership: Stay abreast of the latest research in cryptography and privacy, and represent the organization in academic and industry forums. Mentorship: Guide and mentor junior cryptographers and engineers in advanced cryptographic concepts and best practices. Assess existing cryptographic libraries. Evaluate existing crypto‑agile approaches and tools to define and implement JPMC‑centric solutions. Assist with performance impact assessment of post‑quantum cryptography solutions and deployments. Communicate ongoing work with other teams or organizations. Required Qualifications Education: PhD or MS in Cryptography, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a closely related field, with a dissertation or significant research in MPC, quantum‑safe cryptography or ZKPs. Experience: Minimum 5 years of post‑PhD/MS experience applying advanced cryptographic techniques, preferably in the financial sector. Proficiency in cryptographic protocol design, analysis, and implementation. Experience with cryptographic libraries and tools such as MP‑SPDZ, FRESCO, SEAL, HElib, libsnark, ZoKrates, Circom, or similar. Proficiency in cryptography applied to network security protocols such as TLS, IPsec, etc. Industry Knowledge: Familiarity with regulatory and compliance considerations for privacy technologies in the financial sector. Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex concepts to technical and non‑technical audiences. Benefits We offer a competitive total rewards package including base salary, potential commission‑based pay and discretionary incentive compensation, comprehensive health care coverage, onsite wellness centers, a retirement savings plan, backup childcare, tuition reimbursement, mental health support, financial coaching and more.
