Cryptography
Cybersecurity
Cryptography is the study and practice of techniques for securing information by transforming it into a form that is unreadable to unauthorized parties, using methods such as encryption, hashing, and digital signatures. It underpins the security of everyday technologies, including online banking, secure messaging, and blockchain systems. Professionals with cryptography expertise work in cybersecurity, software engineering, and academic research to design secure systems and protect sensitive data.

Staff + Software Security Engineer, Labs
Menlo Ventures Portfolio
Full-time · New York, NY · $320,000 – $485,000
This is a high-risk, fast-moving security engineering role focused on building novel protections for AI systems before they become critical infrastructure. The team runs week-long experimental bets on problems like cryptographic proof of model integrity, hardened compute clusters, and verified compilation—and expects most to fail; it suits engineers with deep expertise in one hard area (cryptography, kernel internals, hardware security, formal methods) who have shipped things on their own and want to swing at problems that might not work rather than incrementally harden what exists.
