About the role
- Architect and implement high-performance threshold signature schemes (specifically DKLS23 or similar) for ECDSA key generation and signing
- Design and build services that run inside Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) , specifically targeting AMD SEV-SNP and Intel TDX via Confidential Containers (CoCo)
- Implement the RATS (Remote ATtestation procedureS) architecture (RFC 9334) to ensure that no key share is released until the requesting node proves its hardware and software integrity to a Key Broker Service
- Design "Cold Ceremony" workflows that integrate offline hardware tokens as offline Key Encryption Keys (KEKs) for disaster recovery and deep storage
- Write and optimize memory-safe code (Rust/Go) that operates on key material exclusively within encrypted memory regions, ensuring zero leakage to the host OS or hypervisor
- Design mechanisms to cryptographically bind business logic approvals (e.g., WebAuthn assertions) directly to the MPC signing session, eliminating the gap between "approval" and "execution"
