Responsibilities
- Set technical direction and own architecture for hardware-rooted security capabilities across hardware, firmware, systems software, and protected workload execution.
- Design and build attestation, trusted execution environment, hardware-backed isolation, secure boot, device identity, and platform integrity capabilities.
- Develop secure approaches for cryptographic keys, credentials, certificates, identity, provisioning, and trusted compute infrastructure lifecycle management.
- Lead threat modeling and security analysis across hardware, firmware, host software, infrastructure, operating systems, and application workloads.
- Develop systems software, security tooling, firmware, and production automation for reliable hardware-backed security at scale.
- Lead cross-functional security designs and influence engineering direction across hardware, firmware, systems, platform, and security teams.
- Communicate trust models, security architecture, technical tradeoffs, and risks to engineers and technical leadership.
Requirements
- 6+ years of systems, firmware, hardware, or security engineering experience.
- Deep expertise in low-level systems security, firmware security, hardware-rooted trust, attestation, trusted execution environments, confidential computing, or related domains.
- Experience setting technical direction and owning complex security architecture across multiple hardware and software layers.
- Understanding of roots of trust, platform integrity, secure or measured boot, device identity, and hardware-backed attestation.
- Experience designing or implementing attestation systems across hardware, firmware, host, and workload boundaries.
- Strong understanding of cryptographic systems, key management, certificate lifecycle, secure credential management, and secure provisioning.
- Systems engineering experience developing low-level systems software, security tooling, firmware, or production automation using languages such as C, C++, Rust, Go, or Python.
- Ability to threat model complex systems and lead ambiguous, cross-functional technical initiatives.
- Experience developing or securing firmware, platform initialization, device security, hardware-backed security mechanisms, or large-scale compute environments is valuable.
- Experience integrating hardware-rooted trust or confidential computing with infrastructure, identity, key-management, or workload systems is valuable.
Benefits
- Competitive total cash compensation is described as $341,400-$401,600, inclusive of potential bonus value, with additional Long-Term Incentive and employee benefits programs.
- Hiring is prioritized in or near the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City, and Dallas.
