What is a Homomorphic Encryption job?

A Homomorphic Encryption job typically involves researching, designing, and implementing cryptographic techniques that allow computations on encrypted data without decrypting it. Professionals in this field work on secure data processing, privacy-preserving machine learning, and cloud security. They often have expertise in cryptography, mathematics, and computer science, and may develop theoretical advancements or practical applications. Opportunities exist in academia, government, and industries like finance and healthcare that require secure data computation.

What does a typical day look like for someone working in Homomorphic Encryption?

Professionals specializing in Homomorphic Encryption often split their day between research, software development, and collaboration. You may spend time designing and implementing cryptographic algorithms, benchmarking performance, and staying current on the latest advances in the field. Regular meetings with data scientists, security engineers, and product teams are common, as secure computation frequently supports larger privacy or compliance goals. The role requires a balance of independent deep work and cooperative problem-solving, making it both intellectually stimulating and collaborative.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Homomorphic Encryption position, and why are they important?

To thrive in the field of Homomorphic Encryption, you need a deep understanding of cryptography, strong mathematical and algorithmic skills, and typically an advanced degree in computer science, mathematics, or a related field. Experience with programming languages such as Python, C++, and libraries like Microsoft SEAL or HElib, as well as familiarity with cryptographic protocols, is highly beneficial. Analytical thinking, creative problem-solving, and effective communication are key soft skills for presenting complex concepts and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams. These competencies are essential to advance secure data processing solutions and drive innovation in privacy-preserving technologies.

Job description

Company Overview:
Req ID: 378015
NTT DATA strives to hire exceptional, innovative and passionate individuals who want to grow with us. If you want to be part of an inclusive, adaptable, and forward-thinking organization, apply now.
We are currently seeking a Lead Specialty Software Engineer (Protocol Engineer) to join our team in Charlotte, North Carolina (US-NC), United States (US).
Job Description:
Lead Specialty Software Engineer (Protocol Engineer) to contribute to a next-generation Digital Asset Platform designed to solve the most critical challenge in institutional finance: achieving strict regulatory compliance without compromising transaction confidentiality. As a Lead Protocol Engineer, you will be responsible for architecting the core settlement engine. You will work at the intersection of distributed systems and applied cryptography, translating complex mathematical proofs into high-performance, production-grade Go code.
Responsibilities
  • Core Protocol Development: Architect and build a custom blockchain application using Go, Cosmos SDK, and CometBFT (Tendermint)
  • Cryptographic Implementation: Implement and optimize privacy-preserving primitives, specifically Pedersen Commitments and Bulletproofs (Range Proofs), ensuring no trusted setup is required
  • Consensus Customization: Engineer custom ABCI++ extensions (specifically PrepareProposal and Vote Extensions) to implement an on-chain Multi-Party Computation (MPC) mixing network
  • State Machine Design: Design a custom KVStore state machine that manages homomorphic encrypted balances (Elliptic Curve points) instead of plaintext integers
  • Performance Engineering: Optimize cryptographic operations (scalar multiplication, point addition) for low latency and high throughput in a distributed environment
  • Auditing Infrastructure: Build secure off-chain query layers and "view key " mechanisms that allow for granular, permissioned regulatory auditing

Required Qualifications:
  • 5+ years of Specialty Software Engineering experience, or equivalent demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work experience, training, military experience, education
  • 3+ years of experience in backend or systems programming, with expert-level proficiency in Go (Golang)
  • 6+ months of experience with Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC)
  • 1+ year of experience with BFT consensus algorithms, P2P networking, and state replication; reliable, distributed systems experience

Desired Qualifications:
  • Blockchain Core: Deep experience with Cosmos SDK and CometBFT. Comfort building custom modules and modifying consensus logic, not just deploying smart contracts
  • Pedersen Commitments (Homomorphic encryption properties)
  • Zero-Knowledge Proofs (specifically Bulletproofs or Sigma protocols)
  • Math-to-Code: Demonstrated ability to read academic whitepapers/preprints and translate mathematical specifications into functioning code
  • Experience with MPC (Multi-Party Computation) or Verifiable Secret Sharing (VSS) schemes
  • Familiarity with the Ristretto255 curve or libraries like gnark-crypto
  • Background in FinTech, payment systems, or high-frequency trading platforms
  • Understanding of the Account Model vs. UTXO Model trade-offs in privacy-preserving ledger

About NTT DATA:
Where required by law, NTT DATA provides a reasonable range of compensation for specific roles. The starting hourly range for this role is HOURLY RATE $90.00hr to $95.00hr.  Actual compensation will depend on several factors, including the candidate’s relevant experience, technical skills, and other qualifications.
