Responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate Host Assurance platform components that establish trust in bare-metal and VM hosts before production use.
- Ensure hosts remain verifiably trustworthy from hardware delivery and installation through secure bootstrap and orchestration readiness.
- Build machine identity, certificate issuance and enrollment, HSM- or key-management-backed trust services, host attestation, measurement, and baseline verification tooling.
- Validate hardware and firmware against vendor claims and detect and manage drift over time.
- Eliminate insecure bootstrap patterns while partnering with provisioning, fleet, and orchestration teams on secure deployment paths.
- Own components through implementation, operational readiness, launch, rollout, monitoring, recovery procedures, runbooks, and ongoing operation.
- Participate in production support through an on-call rotation and define observable, testable security properties for host platforms.
Requirements
- Strong software engineering experience building and operating reliable production systems at scale.
- Depth in distributed systems, backend or platform engineering, operating systems, or infrastructure security.
- Ability to reason across services, APIs, host software, trust boundaries, correctness, and safe failure behavior.
- Experience writing production-quality code and analyzing failure modes, operational safety, and long-term maintainability.
- Experience supporting critical production systems at scale, such as through on-call responsibilities.
- Experience with PKI, HSMs, machine identity, attestation, secure boot, or hardware security is valuable but not required.
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively across infrastructure, research, provisioning, fleet, orchestration, hardware, and firmware disciplines.
