About Qorsa

Qorsa is a Canadian post-quantum cryptography and cybersecurity company building CasQade — a crypto-agile security platform protecting sovereign government, defence, financial, and critical-infrastructure networks against current and emerging cryptographic threats. We are headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario, with a European subsidiary in The Hague, Netherlands. Our work spans post-quantum cryptography, explainable AI, AI-driven threat intelligence, cryptographic agility, hardware security, and distributed systems, with active engagements across Canadian defence, NATO, and allied partner organizations.

The Role

We are hiring a DevOps Engineer to run the build, release and deployment infrastructure for CasQade, our crypto-agile post-quantum platform, and for our AI applications. Our components ship as container images and native Linux services, and customers run them in the cloud, on premises and on air-gapped networks.

You will make our releases reproducible and our integration tests reliable, and build the deployment tooling our solutions team uses at customer sites.

For a security company, how we build and ship software is part of what customers are trusting. Signed, reproducible, verifiable releases are central to the product, and you will own them.

Responsibilities

Maintain the CI/CD pipelines that build, test, sign and publish our release artifacts.
Run the integration environment that deploys the full stack to Kubernetes and tests the components against each other.
Build and maintain deployment tooling for Docker Compose, Kubernetes and bare-metal Linux hosts running systemd.
Run GPU-backed model serving for our AI applications, along with the databases it depends on.
Manage our Azure infrastructure as code, including demo and multi-node test environments.
Package releases for offline installation on air-gapped networks, with pinned dependencies and signed artifacts.
Operate the certificate authorities and secrets our internal environments depend on, including rotation.
Set up monitoring and logging for internal and demo environments.
Work with solutions architects on the tooling they need for customer deployments.

What We're Looking For

3+ years in DevOps, site reliability or infrastructure engineering.
Strong Linux administration and networking, including iptables or nftables, DNS and TLS troubleshooting.
Hands-on experience running Docker and Kubernetes in production.
Experience building CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions or similar, and managing container registries.
Infrastructure-as-code experience on Azure or another major cloud.
Scripting in Bash and Python, and able to read and modify Go.
Excellent communication skills and comfort working across disciplines.
Eligibility for Government of Canada security clearance (Secret level).

Strong Assets

Experience deploying into air-gapped or classified environments.
Familiarity with PKI operations and HSMs.
Supply-chain security practices such as reproducible builds, image signing and SBOMs.
Experience running GPU workloads or LLM inference servers in production.

Compensation

We compensate exceptionally well — a strong base salary plus meaningful stock options in a rapidly growing company.

Benefits

Dental care
Extended health care
Vision care
On-site parking

Work Location: In person, Waterloo, Ontario.
