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 Senior 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:
• Make independent technical contributions to help their team deliver its commitments. In particular:
– 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.





• Interact with colleagues across projects to unblock issues, or to reach consensus on technical topics. In particular:
– 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.
– Collaborate with colleagues through code reviews, bug triaging, design documents,. . .
– Contribute to shared team responsibilities (CI failure triaging, documentation, code fixits, rota-tions. . . ).

Required qualifications:
• Bachelor or Master’s degree in a relevant field.
• Experience in the relevant field (+7 years).
