• JobTitle Full-Time Research Assistant or Postdoctoral Researcher
• Job Category Postdoctoral Fellow / R&D Scientist, Research Assistant and Others
• Work Content We are looking to hire experienced mobile developers to help bring the PQConnect project to Android and iOS. PQConnect is a new easy-to-install layer of Internet security. It automatically applies post-quantum cryptography from end to end between computers running PQConnect, adding cryptographic protection to unencrypted applications, working in concert with existing pre-quantum applications to add post-quantum protection, and adding a second application-independent layer of defense to any applications that have begun to incorporate application-specific post-quantum protection. PQConnect works at the network layer similarly to a VPN, but is scalable in ways that most VPN applications are not. You can see more information at https://www.pqconnect.net
