Senior Confidential AI Engineer

Build the Future of Confidential AI

What if the next breakthrough in AI wasn't just faster, but fundamentally more trusted?

At Openchip, we're building the secure computing platforms that will power the next generation of AI. If you're passionate about Confidential Computing, Trusted Execution Environments, AI infrastructure, and hardware/software co-design, this is your opportunity to shape technology that protects AI models, data, and workloads at scale.

As a Senior Secure AI Engineer, you'll be at the intersection of AI, security, cloud-native technologies, and next-generation silicon, designing solutions that make confidential AI a reality.

What you’ll do

You'll take ownership of key technologies that enable secure AI execution from silicon to cloud.

• Design and develop Confidential AI solutions for trusted execution environments.

• Build secure mechanisms including remote attestation, model attestation, secure provisioning, and policy-based key release.

• Develop technologies that guarantee AI model integrity, provenance, signing, verification, and protection.

• Integrate Confidential AI capabilities into cloud-native AI platforms, Kubernetes environments, and on-premises deployments.

• Collaborate with architecture, silicon, platform security, and AI runtime teams to define the future of trusted AI platforms through hardware/software co-design.

• Contribute to open-source technologies and engineering excellence through code reviews, technical design, documentation, and continuous improvement.

What you’ll bring

We're looking for engineers who enjoy solving complex systems problems and building technology that matters.

Required

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.

• 7+ years of experience in systems software, platform security, AI infrastructure, or related domains.

• Strong understanding of computer architecture (CPU, memory hierarchy, cache, buses, virtualization).

• Expertise in at least two of the following:

  • Confidential Computing and Trusted Execution Environments (TEE, Confidential Containers, Kata Containers, Confidential VMs)

  • Remote Attestation technologies (RATS, Trustee, KBS, DICE, SPDM, TDISP, PCIe IDE)

  • AI inference platforms (vLLM, KServe, or similar)

  • Kubernetes, containers, cloud-native security, and confidential workload orchestration

  • Trusted device communication and hardware security technologies

Nice to Have

• Contributions to open-source Confidential Computing or AI Infrastructure projects.

• Experience with production-scale AI serving platforms.

• GPU acceleration and Confidential GPU technologies.

• Secure software supply chain (SLSA, in-toto, SBOM).

• AI governance and Secure AI standards.

• Experience with heterogeneous computing (CPU, GPU, AI accelerators).

Why Openchip?

You'll be building the technologies that make AI trustworthy—working alongside world-class engineers developing next-generation processors and secure computing platforms.

You'll have the opportunity to:
