If you enjoy these challenges you might want to join my team at Google, to analyze, break, design and implement real-world crypto solutions for products used by billions of people.

Aside from short-term projects like analyzing and improving state-of-the-art password hashing or end-to-end encryption schemes, we've started two long-term that could use your help: Wycheproof [1] and Tink [2]. The former is a revolutionary testing framework that has discovered 40+ bugs [1] in many popular crypto libraries. The later provides a safe, simple, agile and fast way to accomplish common crypto tasks.

If this sounds exciting, please send your resumes to [email protected]. Cheers!

I'd point out that Thai here is one of the inspirations for the crypto challenges, but we already did on the front page. :)

This is a pretty amazing team, and if you're not familiar with it already, Tink is Thai and Daniel Bleichenbacher's team's answer to Nacl.

What if you were previously and recently rejected by Google?
