Senior FullStack Developer

Who we are

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.

On a daily basis, you will

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.

Backend Engineering & APIs

• 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.

Observability & Data Visualization

• Implement advanced data visualization and monitoring features using the ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana).
• Integrate backend logs, metrics, and analytics into frontend dashboards.

Engineering Excellence

• 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”).

DevOps & CI/CD

• Contribute to deployment workflows, CI/CD pipelines, and automation initiatives.
• Work with Docker/Kubernetes-based environments to ensure smooth delivery.
