Product Security Engineer - Cryptography & PKI

  • On-site
    • Palo Alto, California, United States
  • $175,000 - $187,500 per year
  • Software Engineering

Job description

  • Design & manage end-to-end cryptographic services (PKI, key lifecycle)

  • Stand up HSM infrastructure as the root-of-trust for firmware signing and IoT endpoint authentication

  • Lead HSM vendor evaluation, procurement, installation, configuration and integration

  • Architect key management at scale—from hundreds of devices today to 1 million+ over time

  • Design remote device attestation mechanisms (fTPM/OP-TEE or equivalent) tied back to the HSM root-of-trust

  • Build and automate secure firmware/bootloader signing pipelines

  • Define trust infrastructure and author key-generation, provisioning, rotation and destruction processes

  • Secure build/artifact pipelines, code-signing workflows

  • Develop factory provisioning architecture for mass key/certificate distribution

  • Support the development of secure communication protocols

  • Collaborate as an individual contributor with ProdSec, Cloud Infra, device and SecOps teams

Job requirements

  • Experience deploying and operating HSM appliances

  • Experience architecting PKI for large-scale IoT deployments

  • Strong knowledge of device attestation flows (fTPM/OP-TEE or similar)

  • Linux proficiency and scripting (Python, Bash) for CA, HSM and provisioning automation

  • Solid secure firmware signing and code-integrity practices

  • Ability to create, enforce, and document robust crypto-process playbooks, including the development and maintenance of Certificate Policies (CP) and Certification Practice Statements (CPS) to support enterprise PKI governance.

Nice to Have:

  • Vendor-specific HSM credentials or labs (Thales, Utimaco, AWS CloudHSM)

  • NVIDIA Orin or similar SoC platform experience

  • Background in post-quantum crypto evaluation and migration planning

  • Familiarity with large-scale factory provisioning tools (KMIP gateways, ACME/SCEP)

  • ProdSec/supply-chain security expertise (SBOMs, CI/CD hardening)

  • Experience in C/C++/Rust/GoLang (in addition to Python / Bash)

  • GoLang preferred

  • Additional security certifications
