About the job
About Fortanix
At Fortanix, we are at the forefront of confidential computing and Confidential AI within hybrid and multicloud settings. Our innovative technologies are designed to safeguard sensitive data during its usage by integrating trusted execution environments (TEEs), sophisticated cryptography, and hardware isolation to secure applications, AI models, and data across various environments, including clouds and on-premises infrastructure.
Our robust platform empowers organizations to efficiently manage confidential workloads and AI initiatives, significantly reducing data exposure risks and facilitating the adoption of Zero Trust architectures with enhanced runtime protections. We collaborate closely with leading cloud and silicon providers, harnessing the expertise of professionals in cryptography, systems, and distributed computing to tackle some of the most intricate challenges in data protection.
We cultivate a collaborative, research-driven culture dedicated to pushing the boundaries of confidential computing and Confidential AI, enabling enterprises to harness the value of sensitive information while ensuring privacy and security.
The Role
We are seeking a Staff Software Engineer (Rust) to become a vital part of our Confidential Computing Management team, responsible for the design, construction, and operation of the confidential computing infrastructure that underpins our Generative AI platform.
This role is highly hands-on, concentrating on developing Rust services and infrastructure that operate within and around trusted execution environments (Intel SGX, Intel TDX, AMD SEV) across hybrid and multi-cloud ecosystems. You will be instrumental in shaping the architecture of a platform that supports secure, confidential AI workloads at scale.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design and develop Rust-based platform and infrastructure services for confidential computing environments.
- Implement services that function within TEEs, incorporating attestation, sealing, and confidential workload orchestration.
- Architect and enhance our confidential computing infrastructure across hybrid and multi-cloud settings.
- Build and manage Kubernetes-based confidential workload platforms.
- Enhance platform reliability, scalability, performance, and security posture.
- Define infrastructure architecture and guide cross-team technical direction.
- Mentor engineers on Rust, distributed systems, and confidential computing practices.
- Drive excellence in production: observability, resilience, deployment, and capacity planning.
What You'll Work On:
You will design, implement, and operate systems such as enclave-resident Rust services.
