Intro

Confidential is growing. Fast. And we're looking for software engineers to build the foundations of private, secure, and verifiable compute.

Our team is small but high-agency. You’ll own large pieces of the puzzle.

What You'll Work on: As an engineer at Confidential, you'll design distributed systems, deploy infrastructure globally, and ship software daily.

Here are a few examples of the hard problems you'll work on at Confidential:

• Build software for end-to-end private, secure AI inference, training, and fine-tuning.
• Publish open source industry standards for TEEs and TEE attestations.
• Implement Zero Knowledge (ZK) circuits to secure TEEs, keys, and infrastructure.
• Scale infra globally across on prem, bare metal, and every hyperscalar & neocloud.
• Write Linux kernel modules for private logging and telemetry.
• Optimize AI workloads across TEE hardware from NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel.
• Build and package software securely in TEEs for attestable builds and supply chain security.
• Collaborate with the TEE hardware vendors on next generation TEE implementations.

Requirements

Confidential values these traits above all others:

Consistent: You ship daily. Relentless: You find a way or make a way. Curious: You thrive in the unfamiliar. New problems energize you. Collaborative: People want to work with you. You communicate clearly.

Qualifications

Thats it. Really. We dont care where, or if, you went to school.

Bonus Experience

It's a bonus, not a requirement, if you have experience with any of the following:

• Distributed systems
• Cryptography
• Low level systems engineering
• Python, Golang, and/or Rust
• Linux
• Kubernetes
• AMD, Intel, or ARM Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs)
• NVIDIA Confidential Computing (CC)
• AI inference, training, and/or fine-tuning
