What you need
- Deep hands-on experience with measured boot and roots of trust: DRTM (Intel TXT, AMD SKINIT, ARM equivalents), SRTM, TPM 1.2/2.0, and the measurement chains built on them
- Strong C and assembly skills, with deep Linux kernel and early-boot fundamentals (bootloaders, UEFI, ACPI, SMM)
- A record of landing non-trivial work upstream in Linux, TianoCore, GRUB, or a comparable community
- Comfort at the hardware/firmware boundary and with debugging: JTAG, serial, platform-level bring-up, silicon errata
- Strong technical cross-functional leadership and direction setting, including with external vendors and OEMs
- Clear written communication skills for producing specifications, design docs, and public technical writing
Nice to have
- 8+ years in systems security, with at least 5 years focused on firmware, bootloader, and OS-level security
- Existing maintainership or subsystem ownership in Linux, or standing in the TCG, UEFI Forum, or OCP communities
- Confidential computing implementation experience: TDX, SEV-SNP, ARM CCA, and their attestation flows
- Hardware roots of trust and attestation beyond the TPM: Caliptra, OCP S.A.F.E., SPDM
- Memory-safe systems code in Rust
What you get
- Competitive compensation
- Optional equity donation matching
- Generous vacation and parental leave
- Flexible working hours
- Lovely office space for collaboration
Worth weighing
- Role involves significant public engagement in the Linux and firmware communities, which may require a strong commitment to open-source contributions.
- No specific mention of remote work flexibility beyond a hybrid policy requiring 25% office presence.
- The role's focus on low-level systems may limit exposure to higher-level architectural work.
