Build the Future of Cryptographic Security
Join ISARA in tackling real-world cryptographic and quantum-era security challenges that protect critical systems, sensitive data, and digital trust.
Work on Security That Actually Matters
ISARA helps organizations manage cryptographic risk and prepare for long-term security challenges, including the impact of quantum computing. Our work supports highly security-conscious enterprises and government organizations responsible for protecting critical systems and long-lived data.
We're looking for passionate, creative, and driven individuals who want to contribute to meaningful security work. At ISARA, you'll collaborate with experienced engineers, researchers, and security professionals on problems that require technical depth, curiosity, and long-term thinking.
ISARA is headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario, and operates as a remote-first organization with team members across Canada.
Our Culture
We value trust, creativity, and people who are willing to take on difficult problems head-on. Each team member brings a unique perspective, and we believe strong ideas and thoughtful debate are what separate good outcomes from exceptional ones. We work hard and enjoy the camaraderie that comes from solving complex challenges together, while also recognizing that sustainable work requires balance and time to recharge.
Our Location
ISARA is headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario, a region often referred to as "Quantum Valley" due to its world-class academic and research ecosystem.

Beyond work, the region offers a vibrant mix of arts, culture, and outdoor spaces where innovation and quality of life coexist.
The Team
Our team is collaborative, curious, and deeply committed to the quality of our work. We rely on one another to challenge assumptions, share ideas, and ask the right questions in pursuit of excellence. While technical expertise is essential, we also value communication, teamwork, and cultural fit.
The Perks
We offer a competitive salary and vacation package, stock options, and health and dental benefits within an open and respectful working environment. Team members have opportunities to make a meaningful impact on cybersecurity practices, attend industry conferences and academic events, continue learning through mentorship and professional development, and build strong networks across the security and quantum research communities.
