Society for Electronic Transactions and Security (SETS) Project Associate (Software) Recruitment 2026 (4 Vacancies)

This role is ideally suited for ambitious individuals holding a B.Tech/B.E (or M.Tech/M.E as desirable) in Computer Science, IT, ECE, or Cyber Security, with 0-4 years of relevant experience. The ideal candidate will possess robust programming skills in C/C++, Python, and MATLAB, coupled with a deep understanding of networking protocols, cybersecurity tools (firewalls, VPNs, IDS/IPS, SIEM), and hands-on experience in areas like penetration testing, web application security, exploit development, and binary analysis. This position is perfect for those seeking to gain valuable, specialized experience in cutting-edge R&D within information security.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment with long-term job security should not apply, as this position is purely temporary and contract-based, with no provision for regularization or absorption. Candidates lacking the specified technical qualifications or practical experience in the enumerated cybersecurity tools and techniques will also find this role unsuitable.

SETS, a specialized society for electronic transactions and security, offers a unique and highly relevant platform for professionals to engage in critical R&D within India's cybersecurity landscape. While a temporary contract position, the experience gained here, particularly in advanced fields like Cryptology, Quantum Security, and Network Security, is invaluable and can significantly enhance one's career trajectory in both public and private sector cybersecurity roles. It represents an opportunity to contribute to national security initiatives and work at the forefront of information security research.
