Who is Recruiting from Scratch:

Recruiting from Scratch is a premier talent firm that focuses on placing the best product managers, software, and hardware talent at innovative companies. Our team is 100% remote and we work with teams across the United States to help them hire.

Our Client

Our client is founded by world-renowned cryptographers and expert data scientists, They empower organizations to securely collaborate on sensitive data with their business ecosystem: customers, suppliers, and partners. By operationalizing Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs), They enable secure analysis and AI on encrypted data — while complying with data privacy regulations and protecting valuable IP.

Leading industry and government organizations partner with our client to maximize the value of their data, including DARPA, Intel, Scotiabank, Oracle, IBM, World Economic Forum (WEF), and more.

The Role

Our client is hiring a Head of Cryptography engineering who has experience managing a multi-disciplinary team developing advanced cryptography software products. Experience developing software products using C++ is critical.

The candidate will report to our VP of Engineering.
