Introduction
Curious about the next frontier in cybersecurity where quantum computing meets data protection? Want to understand how IBM is pioneering the transition to quantum-resistant security? You don‘t need a PhD in mathematics, just a passion for cybersecurity and willingness to explore new technologies! Familiarity with cryptographic concepts and network security will help you quickly master post-quantum standards like ML-KEM or ML-DSA, but you can start contributing from day one while learning on the job!
You will gain expertise in IBM‘s quantum-resistant security solutions. You will explore the fundamentals of quantum threats and quantum-safe cryptography within selected industry sectors, and you will implement basic post-quantum algorithms to solve real-world security challenges.
We are offering you
- Potential job offer
- Mentoring from IBM employee
- Opportunity to get hands-on experience with quantum-safe technologies
- First step to start career in Cybersecurity consulting
- Work in multicultural and multi-language team
- Inclusive and open-minded team where initiative is appreciated, and feedback is considered
Your role and responsibilities
- Research quantum computing threats to current cryptographic systems and support senior consultants in industry-specific assessments
- Learn fundamentals of post-quantum cryptography and assist in evaluating quantum-resistant security tools under supervision
- Support development of quantum security pilots and contribute to testing quantum-safe implementations in controlled environments
- Support senior team members in cryptographic assessment projects
Required education
High School Diploma/GED
Required technical and professional expertise
- Ambition to learn new things (even challenging ones like post-quantum security ind impacts)
- Symmetric vs Asymmetric encryption understanding (AES, RSA, ECC)
- Identity and access management (IAM) principles
- Understanding of cybersecurity fundamentals (CIA triad, risk management)
- Understanding encryption at rest vs in transit implementation
- Basic Python knowledge (C/C++ or Containers or Linux advance is plus for you)
- Active studies in Cyber security, Software Engineering, or any other IT-related field
- Readiness to participate in integration projects with state-of-the-art IBM technologies
