Secure AI Software Engineer

Requirements:

• Core Systems Programming: Professional fluency in Python, Rust, or C/C++ applied to performant backend services, API frameworks, or system microservices.
• DevOps & Automation Agility: Familiarity constructing continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) automated pipelines, container orchestration scripts, and automated validation frameworks to facilitate continuous software updates.

• Applied Cryptography Fundamentals: Knowledge of digital certificate management, public key infrastructure (PKI), asymmetric encryption tools (GPG), and transport security protocols (TLS 1.3/mTLS).
• Hardware Security Basics: Conceptual or practical familiarity with Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), confidential computing isolation, or remote attestation concepts.
• Cloud-Native AI Frameworks: Practical experience working with high-performance inference engines and serving frameworks (such as vLLM or KServe) in containerized environments.

We offer:

• Company-paid medical insurance (for you and your eligible dependents)
• Stock option incentives / performance-based compensation
• Flexible spending options (i.e., meal allowance, transportation allowance, and childcare allowance)
• Competitive paid time off and holiday policies
• An inclusive and diverse workplace where we prioritize mutual respect and customer focus
• A fun and collaborative team culture

Salary range:

• The expected base salary for the position is between €40,000 and €55,000; the actual salary will be proportional to the candidate's experience, skills, and location.

The role:

This is a unique opportunity to work at the forefront where high-performance AI and confidentiality intersect. You won't just be building another backend; you'll be designing the future of secure intelligence. In this role, you'll help solve the industry's most urgent challenge: how to run powerful AI models while maintaining absolute cryptographic certainty and data isolation. Joining our team means pushing the boundaries of what's possible and ensuring the next generation of enterprise AI is secure by design.

We are looking for an innovative Software Engineer to join our secure AI team. Instead of just following a playbook, you'll take responsibility for the integration and microservices architecture that bring our highly secure inference platform to life. Your mission is to implement sophisticated attestation mechanisms, protecting critical model weights and execution boundaries. This is your opportunity to turn complex security protocols into a seamless, high-performance reality.

Responsibilities:

• Program and stabilize microservices, connecting backend data flows with advanced containerized inference execution environments to ensure a continuous data flow.
• Secure Endpoint Development: Design, expose, and optimize stable APIs for protected model ingestion, system lifecycle events, and inference requests.
• Integrate security sidecars and automated provisioning modules that execute asymmetric decryption protocols (e.g., 4096-bit RSA) and cryptographic signature validation to facilitate asset release through attestation.
• Networking and Gateway Routing: Configure low-latency sidecar proxies and API gateways to maintain end-to-end encrypted routes using strict mutual authentication (mTLS).
• Maintain and update cloud-native application configurations (such as Helm charts) to orchestrate isolated container environments across distributed execution clusters.

• Drive: You inspire others to work as hard as you do. You always find a way, no matter how difficult the task.
• Ownership: You have an owner/builder mindset. You care about what you deliver and take responsibility for your mistakes.
• Proactivity: You don't wait for someone to tell you what to do or what problems to solve. You always look for ways to learn and improve.
• Excellence: You set a high bar and exceed expectations. You achieve your goals and ask for more.
• Humility: You don't consider yourself above any task in the organization and are willing to drop what you're doing to help a teammate.
