Are you Lucid?

The Role

We're looking for a hardware engineer to own the silicon-level foundations of our technology. You'll bridge the gap between hardware security features and AI workloads — building verifiable computation pipelines where we can statically derive what a GPU kernel should compute and cryptographically prove that it did. You'll work directly with silicon vendors, design attestation systems for modern accelerators, and build the tamper-proof link between a model's architecture and its execution on hardware.

What You'll Do

• Design verifiable compute pipelines that derive hardware behavior expectations from model definitions and tiling configurations, then prove execution integrity
• Build low-level software (C, C++, Rust) that interfaces with TEEs, secure enclaves, and cryptographic accelerators to attest to chip location and computation integrity
• Implement static kernel analysis tools to extract memory access patterns and computational structure from GPU kernels (Triton, CUTLASS, PTX/SASS)
• Serve as technical liaison with silicon vendors (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel) on security architectures, side-channel implications, and next-generation accelerator roadmaps

What You'll Bring

• BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Engineering, CS, or EE with a focus on computer architecture, compilers, or systems security
• Deep understanding of GPU architecture — memory hierarchies, tensor core operations, tiling strategies, and how logical tensors map to physical hardware
• Strong systems programming in C, C++, or Rust with experience interfacing with hardware security primitives
• Experience with CUDA, Triton, or CUTLASS kernel programming

Bonus

• Familiarity with MLIR/LLVM or compiled binary analysis
• Experience with hardware performance counters (Nsight Compute, CUPTI)
• Knowledge of TEEs (Intel SGX/TDX, AMD SEV)
• Interest in formal methods or layout algebra

We are open to hiring both early-career and experienced candidates. For the latter, we are open to higher compensation and more senior titles. We will also consider exceptional candidates on a part-time basis.

The Role

We're looking for a high-agency product engineer to lead our front-end product initiative. You'll turn complex compliance requirements into one-click developer tools, working in a tight loop with customers and our policy team to find product-market fit in real time. You should be the kind of person who can understand a customer's pain point and ship a solution the same day.

What You'll Do

• Build customer-facing verification SDKs and compliance tools, prioritizing speed and market validation over perfection
• Develop the APIs and integration layers that let downstream builders deploy AI models with cryptographic proof of compliance
• Bridge sales and engineering — gather feedback and translate insights into features
• Package deep-tech security primitives (TEEs, attestation) into accessible, developer-friendly products

What You'll Bring

• 4+ years of software engineering across the stack (Python, Rust, TypeScript/React)
• Experience building developer-first APIs and SDKs — you know what makes a tool intuitive to integrate
• Strong product instincts — you don't wait for a spec, you identify the job to be done and make trade-offs to deliver value quickly
• Comfortable with ambiguity and excited to build, ship, and iterate rapidly at an early-stage startup

Bonus

• Familiarity with AI regulation (EU AI Act, ISO 42001, HIPAA)
• Experience with TEEs or hardware security
• Background in observability or audit systems

We are open to hiring both early-career and highly experienced candidates. For the latter, we are open to higher compensation and more senior titles. We will also consider exceptional candidates on a part-time or contract basis.
