Cryprographic Research Engineer - NYC Based StartUp

A top NYC/NJ technology startup that focuses on developing and commercializing Privacy Enhanced Technologies (PET) to enable privacy-protected data science is looking for strong C++ developer to join them on a full-time basis. As a member of the research engineering team, you will be part of a team developing and implementing analytics and machine learning algorithms using privacy-protected computation. The team includes well-known researchers and is a major contributor to the open-source OpenFHE software library.

C++ software engineering skills are required, and Python experience is desirable. Experience with privacy-enhancing technologies, such as Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) and Secure Multiparty Computation (SMC), is preferred. Familiarity with modern AI/ML development techniques and frameworks and runtime optimization is preferred.

Requirements:

● Advanced degrees (MS or PhD) in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field or equivalent work experience.

● More than 2 years of research experience in implementing novel complex mathematical algorithms with a focus on resource optimization and runtime performance.

● More than 2 years of experience in software development/prototyping with C++.

Desired Skills:

● Research or engineering experience in privacy-protected computing, such as Fully Homomorphic Encryption, secure multiparty computation, TEE's, etc.

● Experience with ML techniques and frameworks.

● Experience with OpenFHE or other homomorphic encryption software libraries.

● Experience with applied algorithm design and performance optimization.

High-Performance Computing experience is a plus
