Software Engineer (Middleware)

As a Software Engineer, you will be responsible of delivering multi-platform middleware to customers, enabling the usage of Thales’ PKI applications for PC end-users. The Middleware bridges the cryptographic services required by the user applications (mailbox, browser) and the user’s smartcard, providing strong security with state-of-the-art cryptographic algorithm support. You will participate in the design, implementation, validation, and deployment of various desktop applications (core and UI) managing and manipulating digital security devices connected to the workstation.

Responsibilities:

• Analyze requirements, perform feasibility study, provides technical proposal of the solution and subsequently convert them into design specifications.
• Perform software design and implement the design subsequently with good code quality.
• Implement unit test over the source code and perform black box testing over the developed application.
• Perform application and system integration with continuous integration, maintain and ensure the integrity of the integration, follow up integration and build failures, and track and fix bugs.
• Implement state-of-the-art cryptographic protocols and security counter-measures
• Sustain in-house and third party tools.
• Protect the company’s IP and propose patents.
• Contribute to continuous product and development methodology improvement.
• Work within a project team with an Agile approach to software development.
