Headquarters Supreme Allied Commander Transformation (HQ SACT) is sponsoring a 12-month pilot across three NATO laboratories in Mons, Brussels and The Hague, with the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA) as technical authority. The pilot includes a live demonstration for NATO VIPs by the end of June 2027 and closes in December 2027 with a migration roadmap NATO can act on. Devis is competing to support this work. As Technical Lead, you will own the pilot’s architecture and cryptographic profiles and be accountable for a live demonstration of quantum-safe operation between NATO pilot nodes.The Role\nThis is a contingent-upon-award Technical Lead role with post-quantum cryptography (PQC) solution architect duties. You will develop the high- and low-level architecture of the pilot, covering its services, trust boundaries, cryptographic components, interfaces and transition modes, and maintain versioned cryptographic profiles NATO can reuse after the pilot ends. You will direct implementation across network and transport protection, public-key infrastructure and key management, zero trust and crypto-agility, and you will plan and deliver a live demonstration of quantum-safe operation between at least two pilot nodes by the end of June 2027. You will work with the Project Manager, the PKI architect and the test lead, and with NCIA as technical authority. The pilot runs on NATO’s CFBLNet AQUA experimental network using the NIST PQC standards (ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA) in hybrid and pure modes. Hands-on IPsec and TLS experience helps, but the core of the job is making architecture decisions you can defend with measured evidence.What You’ll Do\nOwn the Architecture and Cryptographic Profiles\nDevelop and maintain the high- and low-level architecture, then deliver a final as-built architecture that explains any deviations from the design.\nMaintain versioned cryptographic profiles for each pilot service: algorithms, parameters and protocol configurations.\nDesign an automated cryptographic migration approach that extends NATO’s existing infrastructure-as-code and configuration management, with verification and rollback.\nDirect Implementation\nLead quantum-safe key establishment and authentication across site-to-site links, remote access, privileged administrative access, application services and secure messaging.\nShow hybrid and pure PQC modes working, including federation where nodes use different transition approaches.\nVerify interoperability with NATO’s independent reference implementation and record negotiation outcomes.\nOversee centralized cryptographic policy and in-service algorithm substitution with rollback.\nDeploy, configure and troubleshoot Devis’s GABRL post-quantum product in the pilot environment, including closing integration gaps found during federation and interoperability testing.\nProve It with Evidence\nOwn the experimentation plan from the initial version to the detailed plan, including test cases, metrics and the classical baseline.\nMake sure every finding in the technical reports traces to measured results.\nDeliver the VIP Demonstration\nPlan, prepare and run a live demonstration of quantum-safe operation between at least two pilot nodes by the end of June 2027, using live synthetic traffic.\nInclude a live negative test showing resistance to cryptographic downgrade, then write the after-action report.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3567,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["IT
