CryptoNext Security is a deeptech startup specializing in post-quantum cryptography. We help institutions and enterprises prepare for a future where quantum computers will break current cryptographic standards.
We work with major players in finance, defense, and telecommunications, delivering cutting-edge, quantum-safe security solutions.
As a Full Stack Developer, you will contribute to the development of DISCOVERY, our next-generation observability and orchestration platform for post-quantum cryptography operations.
You will work across the entire stack — backend services, data flows, and frontend interfaces — collaborating closely with product, backend, and infrastructure teams.
Feature Development & Architecture- Design, develop, and maintain full-stack features for the DISCOVERY platform.
- Build modern, responsive React front-ends integrated with Node.js and Kafka backends.
- Participate in architectural decisions and propose technical improvements aligned with long-term product vision.
- Design and implement REST and event-driven APIs.
- Ensure performance, scalability, and resilience across distributed components.
- Collaborate with backend engineers on domain modeling, API contracts, and data flows.
- Implement advanced data visualization and monitoring features using the ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana).
- Integrate backend logs, metrics, and analytics into frontend dashboards.
- Participate in code reviews and uphold high engineering standards.
- Contribute to technical documentation and promote software craftsmanship.
- Apply KISS, DRY, SOLID, and pragmatic engineering principles (“done is better than perfect”).
- Contribute to deployment workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and automation initiatives.
- Work with Docker/Kubernetes-based environments to ensure smooth delivery.

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.
