At CryptoNext Security, we are pioneering post-quantum cryptography to ensure tomorrow’s cybersecurity. As quantum computing threatens current encryption standards, we deliver robust, high-performance cryptographic libraries and industrial solutions that meet the highest security requirements. We work with top-tier institutions and mission-critical partners across Europe and beyond.
Role Overview
As a Product Integration Intern, you will play a key role in exploring, testing, and prototyping integrations with external solutions. Working closely with both the Product Line and R&D departments, you will:
• Identify potential technology partners and open-source projects relevant to our integration
strategy.
• Run preliminary feasibility tests to assess the value and technical compatibility of these
integrations.
• Develop lightweight scripts or prototypes to validate integration scenarios.
• Document findings, provide recommendations, and support decision-making on integration
priorities.
This internship is an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience in cybersecurity product management, cryptographic technologies, and technical integration projects, while working with both business-oriented and technical teams.
Key Responsibilities
• Market & Technology Scouting:
o Research and shortlist potential technology partners and open-source projects aligned
with our product ecosystem.
o Analyse competitors’ integration strategies and industry standards.
• Feasibility Assessment:
o Conduct technical tests of APIs, SDKs, or open-source frameworks to validate
compatibility.
o Develop lightweight scripts/prototypes to demonstrate integration scenarios.
• Collaboration & Reporting:
o Act as a bridge between Product Line (strategic view) and R&D (technical execution).
o Document test results, draft integration guidelines, and provide regular reporting to
stakeholders.
o Participate in internal workshops to present findings and recommendations.
Requirements
Student in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Cryptography, or related field.
• Solid understanding of IT systems, APIs, scripting (Python, Bash, etc.), and software
integration concepts.
• Analytical mindset with strong problem-solving skills.
• Good communication skills, able to interact with both technical (R&D) and non-technical
(Product Line) stakeholders.
• Curious, proactive, and eager to explore new technologies.
• Good-to-have : Knowledge of cybersecurity or cryptographic technologies is a plus (TLS,
PKI, HSM, EDR, CLM, etc.).
Benefits
- Hands-on experience in the fast-moving field of cybersecurity and cryptography.
- Exposure to both product strategy and R&D execution.
- Opportunity to interact with leading technology vendors and open-source communities.
- Mentorship from experienced product managers and engineers.
- A chance to make tangible contributions to the expansion of our open platform.

What We Do
CryptoNext Security is a European software vendor based in Paris, an industry leader in quantum-proof cryptography (PQC) solutions. Our vision and the solutions we are developing are designed to manage the complete lifecycle of post-quantum migration, including the phases of discovery, remediation, and management. Founded in 2019 after 20+ years of academic research within the prestigious INRIA, CNRS and Sorbonne University, CryptoNext Security is identified by Gartner as part of its Top 5 in PQC and is, to date, the first European company selected by NIST's NCCoE group dedicated to the best PQC migration practices. We are developing an integrated, quantum-safe remediation suite allowing for the automation of PQC migration for IT/OT systems, infrastructures and applications. Our objective is to help businesses and HW/SW vendors face the quantum threat in an efficient, agile and sustainable way.
