This is an
exciting opportunity to join Deloitte Operations for an engagement with one of our
clients.
The Role
You will be
responsible for distribution platforms used by the Cybersecurity-sponsored
initiatives. The accountabilities range from creating, testing and implementing
packages that leverage client platforms that distribute said payloads in a safe
and controlled manner to targeted hosts. Furthermore, this role will be
responsible for tuning the configuration in such a way as to efficiently
retrieve results from the payloads so as to not overwhelm the corporate
network. It is anticipated that problem fix and root cause analysis are part
and parcel of the role.
Key Responsibilities
- Distribution of
quantum-safe tools: integrate quantum-safe tooling, such as cryptographic
scanning, into distribution solutions.
- Support other
aspects of the deployment of quantum-safe tooling, especially cryptographic
scanning, including their design, usage, integration into CI/CD pipelines, the
digestion and integration of output data into data lakes, and schemes that can
lead to actionable insights.
- Code practices:
promote secure coding practices across full stack development efforts and
perform thorough code reviews, where appropriate.
- Design &
Integration: Architect, test, develop, integrate and deploy quantum-safe
solutions, including post-quantum cryptography, into existing systems.
