    About Us
    Sindstrøm Tek is a global technology developer and investor advancing the next generation of secure digital infrastructure. From information security to cloud systems and smart infrastructure, we build and back the technologies that define the future. We are currently expanding our cryptographic capabilities and looking for a forward-thinking engineer to help us shape the frontier of secure communications and post-quantum resilience.

    The Role
    We are seeking a Cryptography Consultant to play a dual role: leading the development of novel encryption technologies—particularly in the post-quantum space—and evaluating the technical potential of early-stage cryptographic ventures for investment. This position offers a rare opportunity to contribute hands-on to advanced security architecture while helping steer strategic capital toward transformative innovation.

    Responsibilities

    • Lead the design, development, and validation of cutting-edge cryptographic protocols with a focus on post-quantum resilience.

    • Collaborate with internal teams and research partners to prototype and test novel encryption systems.

    • Conduct deep technical due diligence on start-ups and emerging ventures in cryptography and information security.

    • Advise our investment team on technology readiness, cryptographic soundness, and long-term viability.

    • Stay current with academic and industry developments in cryptography, PQC standards, and attack models.

    Requirements

    • Preferred - Advanced degree (Master’s or PhD preferred) in a related field, such as Computer Science, Mathematics, or Cryptography.

    • Strong experience in applied cryptography and protocol design.

    • Demonstrated knowledge of post-quantum cryptographic schemes and NIST standardization efforts.

    • Experience with code-based, lattice-based, or multivariate cryptosystems is a strong plus.

    • Proficiency in languages such as C, C++, Python, or Rust.

    • Ability to clearly communicate complex technical concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

    • Previous exposure to technical due diligence or research in venture/start-up environments is a plus.

    What We Offer

    • A role at the intersection of deep technology and strategic investment.

    • Flexible work environment and international collaboration opportunities.

    • Direct impact on the future of secure infrastructure and communications.

    • Competitive hourly compensation package including bonuses and equity participation for qualified candidates.
