Mission
You will be working on a research grant from Innosuisse on the topic of "Self-recovery of end-to-end encrypted vaults". This work entails helping develop cryptographic algorithms in collaboration with the C4DT team, a laboratory (Professor, PhD students, Research Software Engineers, semester students) writing software libraries and applications, and evaluating them through user tests. The duration of the grant is 2 years.
Main Duties And Responsibilities
* Supporting research with experiments and evaluations
* Writing of libraries and documentation
* Managing parts of the project
* Participating in other C4DT related projects (open source services evaluation, server maintenance, workshops organization)
Profile
* Higher education in computer science or equivalent
* Very good expertise in cryptography: elliptic curves, zero knowledge proofs, post‑quantum algorithms
* Interest in the topics of C4DT: digital trust in general, Open Source Software, digital sovereignty
* Excellent command of several programming languages (Golang, Rust, Typescript), test‑driven development, automatic deployment
* Intelligent use of LLM tools as support for your work, not as replacement
* Willingness and enthusiasm to learn new technologies
* Fluency in English, both written and spoken. Working knowledge of French or German is welcome
We offer
* A small, dynamic and friendly team (fresh bread most Mondays)
* A stimulating and engineering‑focused working environment
* Integration in larger community of Research Software Engineers
* An opportunity to develop skills and experience in innovative knowledge transfer and exchange approaches, in a world‑class and highly sought‑after organization
