Originally posted 19 August 2026 by the employer.
Build production Attestation Cloud Services for Confidential Compute and GPU platforms.
About the role
You will build production Attestation Cloud Services, verifiers, SDK/CLI integrations, APIs, and customer-hosted trust capabilities.
What you'll do
- Build and maintain components across the Attestation Cloud platform, verification flows, software development kits, command-line tools integrations, and customer-hosted capabilities.
- Own well-scoped projects end to end, from requirements to design, code, automated tests, safe rollout, telemetry, and production support.
- Improve reliability and security in owned components, including dependency failures, retries, idempotency, caching, data stores, authentication, and revocation freshness.
- Write test fixtures, conformance tooling, and automation to maintain consistent local and remote verification behavior.
- Drive root-cause analysis for issues in features and subsystems using logs, traces, telemetry, and targeted experiments.
- Participate in design and code reviews, document work, and mentor newer engineers.
What you'll need
- BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Security, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.
- 5+ years of hands-on experience developing production software, including backend services, distributed systems, systems software, SDKs, infrastructure platforms, or customer-facing APIs.
- Demonstrated interest in security-critical systems, secure software development, trust infrastructure, or confidential computing.
- Strong programming and debugging skills in at least one of C++, Rust or Go.
- Strong computer-science fundamentals and practical knowledge of Linux, networking, APIs, concurrency, data stores, caching, and software testing.
- Experience owning a feature or component beyond initial implementation, including transforming ambiguity into a well-defined plan, reasoning about tradeoffs and failure modes, and carrying development, testing, deployment, observability, production debugging, and maintenance through delivery.
- Willingness to join a primary on-call rotation and own production services through incident response, debugging, and durable follow-up improvements.
