Staff Security Software Engineer

The role :

Openchip is building new RISC-V chips with security at heart, enabling safer and more privacy-respectful execution of data processing workloads like AI models.

As a Staff Security Software Engineer, you will lead a team designing and implementing security features across Openchip’s software stack : from low-level platform firmware to integrations with AI and Cloud runtimes. You will also contribute to hardware / software co-design, providing requirements and identifying potential IPs, as well as engage with the wider security community.

Key responsibilities :

• Understand the technical landscape of their project and make decisions about it.
• Make independent technical contributions, especially for the most foundational or challenging parts of the project.

Develop and maintain security features for novel and existing hardware architectures (RISC-V and others).

Implement secure boot, confidential computing, cryptography, and other platform security features.

Define new interfaces and modify existing ones to expose security features to user applications. When possible, identify and leverage existing standard ones.

Work with firmware and operating systems teams, incorporating security features into low-level and platform software.

Work with middleware teams, exposing security features to user applications and / or hardening frame-works.

Work with hardware teams, providing requirements for security and influencing hardware / software co-design.

Required qualifications :

Confidential computing technologies (RISC-V CoVE, Intel SGX, Intel TDX, AMD SEV, confidential containers).

Platform security features (kernel / firmware hardening, CHERI, CFI, pointer tagging, virtualization-based security, IOMMU).

Cryptograpy usage across networks (certificates, signatures, TLS / SSL, PKI remote attestation).

Boot integrity technologies (UEFI Secure Boot, measured boot, TPM).

Cryptography, including experience with cryptography libraries (OpenSSL, libssl, wolfssl, mbedtls, libsodium).
