Summary:

• Thales CipherTrust is the core platform supporting the team's unstructured data encryption strategy, making it the most critical technical skill for this role and central to protecting sensitive enterprise data at scale.

• The initiative depends on hands-on CipherTrust expertise, not just general encryption knowledge, because the selected engineer will need to understand advanced product features, troubleshoot complex issues, and serve as a lead SME for the team.

• CipherTrust Transparent Encryption requires strong OS-level knowledge, since the product uses an agent installed at the operating system/kernel level; effective support requires Linux/Windows administration skills, debugging ability, hardening experience, and performance tuning.

• The role is important because the team has a capability gap and several junior engineers who need coaching, so this person will be expected to mentor others, create standards/documentation, guide best practices, and help raise the team's overall maturity with Thales CipherTrust.

• Thales CipherTrust will be key to upcoming infrastructure and firmware upgrade work, with this role expected to lead testing, build implementation stories, support change/incident management, and train the rest of the engineers on the upgrade process.

Job Description:

Join a high-impact security engineering team at the forefront of enterprise cryptography, where you'll design, build, and scale critical encryption and key management solutions that protect some of the organization's most sensitive data. This role is ideal for a hands-on security engineer with deep expertise in cryptographic protocols, HSMs, and modern data protection technologies, who thrives in complex, large-scale environments. You'll work across Linux, Windows, and automation frameworks to harden systems, optimize performance, and drive secure architecture forward—while partnering with engineering and operations teams to deliver resilient, scalable solutions. If you're passionate about encryption, key management, and solving sophisticated security challenges in a fast-paced enterprise setting, this is a role where your expertise will directly shape the organization's security posture.

This role will actively mentor and develop team members by providing technical guidance, sharing best practices, and fostering a culture of continuous learning and security excellence.
