Shadow313 NEXUS is a bootstrapped security intelligence platform. We are looking for exceptional collaborators who share our obsession with post-quantum cryptography and adversarial AI.

Open Positions

Senior Security Researcher — Post-Quantum Cryptography

FULL-TIME REMOTE SENIOR

Lead research into post-quantum cryptographic implementations, CRQC threat modeling, and the 313-BIND temporal binding protocol. You will own the SLH-DSA/ML-DSA migration roadmap and contribute to NIST FIPS 203/204/205 compliance.

Requirements

  • Deep expertise in post-quantum cryptography (lattice-based, hash-based)
  • Experience with NIST PQC standards (FIPS 203/204/205)
  • Python proficiency — able to contribute to shadow313/core/
  • Understanding of CRQC threat timelines and HNDL attack vectors
  • Familiarity with IPFS, cryptographic audit chains, or blockchain anchoring
