An NSA Cryptography job involves designing, analyzing, and securing cryptographic systems to protect national security information. Cryptographers at the NSA develop encryption algorithms, assess vulnerabilities, and support cybersecurity efforts. They work with advanced mathematics, computer science, and cryptographic principles to safeguard sensitive communications. These roles require strong analytical skills, a security clearance, and expertise in areas like quantum-resistant encryption or cryptographic engineering.
To thrive in NSA Cryptography roles, you need deep expertise in mathematics, computer science, and cryptographic algorithms, typically supported by an advanced degree in a relevant field. Familiarity with cryptographic libraries, programming languages such as Python, C++, or Java, and security standards is vital, and professional certifications like CISSP or Certified Cryptanalyst can be advantageous. Exceptional problem-solving abilities, analytical thinking, discretion, and teamwork are important soft skills. These skills are critical for developing and analyzing secure communication methods that protect national security interests.
NSA Cryptography professionals are responsible for designing, analyzing, and implementing secure cryptographic systems that protect classified and sensitive information. Day-to-day activities may include researching new cryptographic techniques, assessing the strength of encryption algorithms, and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams of engineers and analysts to integrate secure solutions into government communication systems. You may also participate in vulnerability testing, incident response planning, and the continuous improvement of security protocols. Projects can range from securing military communication to developing cutting-edge encryption tools for national defense. The work is dynamic and often requires creative thinking as well as strict adherence to security protocols.

The ORSA will design, develop, and apply mathematical models, statistical analysis, data mining techniques, modeling & simulation, and decision analytics to address mission-critical challenges across intelligence, ISR, and electromagnetic spectrum operations. This role requires independent analytic execution, collaboration across the Intelligence Community (IC), and the ability to translate complex or fragmented data into clear, decision-ready insights for operational leadership. Essential Responsibilities: * Apply decision analytics, statistical analysis, data mining, and modeling & simulation techniques to address operational and planning challenges.
* Provide cryptologic analysis leveraging knowledge of Air Force airborne cryptologic operations, SIGINT resource management, and MAJCOM/NSA multi-INT capabilities. * Develop analytic products that integrate multi-source intelligence and interdisciplinary methodologies. * Structure and conduct analysis based on incomplete, complex, or indirect information, incorporating trends, patterns, and multiple analytic perspectives.
* Support long-term strategic planning of cryptologic operations and initiatives. * Perform quantitative and qualitative analysis, modeling, simulation, and assessment of complex systems * Analyze large data sets to identify trends, patterns, and performance indicators * Collaborate with analysts, planners, engineers, and subject matter experts across disciplines * Safeguard classified information and comply with all DoD, Air Force, and IC policies and procedures Work Environment, Physical Demands, and Mental Demands: The position supports sensitive operations and demands strict adherence to IC analytic standards, information security requirements, and professional ethics. Minimum Requirements (Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities): * Advanced proficiency in operations research, systems analysis, or applied analytics methods * Understanding of ISR operations and intelligence cycles, SIGINT and multi-INT integration, and cyber and electronic warfare environments * Demonstrated ability to synthesize complex data into clear, defensible conclusions * Experience in applying analytic methodologies, including trend analysis and multi-source integration.
* Strong written and verbal communication skills, including executive-level briefings * Demonstrated ability to perform independent analysis and contribute to team-based problem solving * Proficiency with standard analytic and productivity tools Additional Requirements: * Willingness to comply with all DoD, Air Force, and IC security and conduct standards * Ability to complete and maintain required training throughout contract performance * Availability to support CONUS and OCONUS missions as required * Responsible for maintaining qualifications and training unless Government-directed Security Clearance Required: * TS/SCI eligibility with a favorable Tier 5 (T5) investigation. Some positions may require successful completion of a CI-scope polygraph examination. Minimum Education: * Bachelor's degree in Operations Research, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Data Science, Engineering, or related field or a associate's degree plus 4 additional years of expert-level experience (for a total of 10 years' experience in lieu of a Master's degree).
Minimum Years of Experience: * 6 years of experience conducting operations research, intelligence analysis, or related analytic work with relevant experience (within the last 2 years) in defense, intelligence, ISR, or electromagnetic spectrum operations. Preferred Qualifications: * Understanding of NSA and IC analytic frameworks * Prior experience supporting NSA or Air Force ISR operations * Experience with advanced analytics tools (Python, R, MATLAB, etc.) * Familiarity with intelligence or operational planning processes * Experience briefing senior military or civilian leaders As part of our commitment to maintaining a safe and compliant work environment, Amentum is a drug-free workplace and requires all personnel to comply with company drug and alcohol policies as a condition of employment.
