• Harden storage using dm-verity and dm-crypt.
• Stand up a Trusted Execution Environment and author trusted applications.
• Enforce user-space sandboxing and access control mechanisms.
• Automate cryptographic signing pipelines in CI/CD against a signing backend.

What We Are Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in embedded systems engineering with a security focus.
• Strong expertise in embedded Linux security, including dm-verity, dm-crypt, and ARM TrustZone EL1-EL3.
• Proven experience designing hardware root of trust and Secure Boot from scratch, including U-Boot Verified Boot from bootloader through kernel.
• Experience with embedded Linux board bring-up and BSP customization using Yocto.
• Background with TEE development and trusted application authoring using OP-TEE.
• Strong C skills with Python or Bash scripting.
• Advanced proficiency in English.

How we do make your work (and your life) easier:

• 100% remote work (from anywhere).
