TEE Specialist

The role

A TEE Specialist will pioneer on-chain compute verifiability solutions. You will integrate TEE technology with GPU compute for AI workloads and design secure solutions for AI model execution.

What you will do

• Design and implement TEE-based solutions for secure AI model execution
• Develop and optimize TEE + GPU integration patterns for high-performance AI workloads
• Build verification mechanisms for computational integrity using TEE capabilities
• Design and implement secure network traffic attestation systems for bridging off-chain data
• Utilize secure enclaves for sensitive operations within our distributed network
• Work with our core team to implement practical, market-ready TEE solutions
• Collaborate on architecture decisions balancing security, performance, and time-to-market
• Maintain and optimize TEE environments in production systems

Required qualifications

• Deep expertise in TEE technologies (SGX, TDX, SEV-SNP), with practical implementation experience
• Strong background in systems programming (C++, Rust), with focus on secure enclave development
• Experience with GPU integration in TEE environments
• Solid understanding of Linux systems and kernel-level programming
• Expertise in network security protocols and traffic attestation mechanisms
• Familiarity with EVM-based blockchain systems and distributed computing
• Track record of shipping production TEE implementations
• Experience with TEE SDKs (Gramine, Open Enclave, etc.)
• Strong security mindset and understanding of threat models in distributed systems
• Ability to make pragmatic technical decisions balancing security and time-to-market requirements
• Ability to act quickly under high pressure scenarios and context switch at a high frequency
• A high level of end-to-end ownership and self-direction, with excellent communication skills

Nice to have

• Experience with AI/ML systems and their computational requirements
• Knowledge of blockchain node operation or development
• Background in cryptography and secure systems design
• Experience with network verification protocols (zkTLS, TLSNotary, etc.)
• Experience with zero-knowledge proofs or other verification systems
• Contributions to open-source TEE or security projects

Benefits

• Highly competitive compensation package
• Annual discretionary bonus
• Optimized tax structure compared to the vast majority of web3 startups
• Top 1% of benefits across the web3 startup space
• 100% of premiums covered on highest quality healthcare
• Aggressive company 401k match
• Participate in virtual and in-person events
