Sr. Certification Lead - Common Criteria & Cryptography (m/f/d).

At fiskaly, we are a market-leading provider of cloud fiscalization solutions. This means we enable thousands of business to easily create tax-compliant transactions, through our simple API-first approach. We know the most important part of our company are our people, and are therefore very happy to have been certified a Great Place To Work (2023).

We are looking for someone to join our engineering department and take responsibility for the certification of our different cloud solutions. As fiskaly often operates in highly regulated environments, we are required to ensure we provide solutions that are reviewed and certified by national agencies, and this role will be focused on that process.

Ideally you can take charge of our existing certification processes, driving them to the finish line, as well as being ready to initiate and be responsible for future certifications as necessary.

What can you expect if you join us?

You will be responsible for certifications for product certifications throughout our company, beginning with our flagship product Sign DE. You will work directly with the teams responsible for creating the products, will be the primary contact with regards to certification.
You will decide how to approach the certification process and to organise your own schedule in coordination with related company stakeholders, with the expectation that whatever approach you choose provides a transparent record of progress to others who are impacted by the progress of the certification, and to allow for redundancy
You will be the primary person responsible for communication with the external evaluator, and stakeholders such as the German Bundesministerium für Finanzen and Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik, and will be supported by colleagues where required
You will read and author documentation that is often highly technical for the certification process, in German and in English, based on standardized industry approaches such as Common Criteria, ISO standards, and Technische Richtlinien of the BSI.
You will define and communicate tasks to the development teams/Technical Product Owners when it is required for certification, in a way that provides them all of the relevant details. It is not expected that you do the development work yourself, however an understanding of different development approaches and constraints would be helpful here.

Feeling discouraged because of all those requirements? Don't be :)
Oftentimes women, the neurodiverse, and people of colour don't apply for a role when they cannot check every box. We encourage you to apply nonetheless. Skills can be learned. What is more important at fiskaly is building a diverse team of motivated people who feel welcomed and valued.
