Company mission
To encrypt the web; the goal is zero data breaches, and the end-state is everything encrypted everywhere.
Role
Who you are
- Excellent taste. In code, in APIs, in documentation, in system design. You know what good looks like and you hold yourself and others to a high bar
- Full-stack, not pigeonholed. You're most at home in backend and infrastructure - but you're comfortable across the stack when the problem demands it. You'd rather learn something new than stay in your lane
- Curious. You read RFCs. You've opinions on different enclave implementations. You know why TLS 1.3 matters. You dig into source code for fun. You ask why
- Relentlessly product-minded. You're building developer infrastructure - and you care deeply about how it's used. You think about the developer experience of every API and CLI you design. You measure your work by adoption and reliability, not just technical elegance
- A systems thinker. You have deep fundamentals in distributed systems, networking, and operating systems - not just application-level frameworks. You think about memory models, socket behaviour, TLS handshakes, and the performance implications of design decisions. You're comfortable working at layers of the stack most engineers never touch
- Comfortable in the deep end. Confidential computing, custom runtimes, encryption at scale - these aren't checkbox skills, they're the domain. You don't need to know all of it coming in, but you need to be the kind of engineer who gets excited about this level of depth and learns fast
- Founder energy. You may have started something before, or you want to one day. Either way, you operate with ownership, urgency, and bias for action. You take problems to completion - and you don't wait to be told what to do
- An excellent communicator. You write clearly. You can explain how a Nitro Enclave attestation protocol works to a customer, and why a proxy architecture decision matters to a non-technical stakeholder. You're comfortable in front of customers and deeply involved in the product development lifecycle
- A good human. Kind, generous, low ego. You thrive in a collaborative environment with people from different backgrounds. The kind of person who makes a team better just by being in the room
What the job involves
- We're hiring Platform Engineers to work on the foundational infrastructure that powers everything at Evervault
- You'll work across two areas: the core platform that underpins all of our products, and the Foundations product suite - Relay, Functions, and Enclaves. These are the primitives our customers use to encrypt, decrypt, and process sensitive data at scale
- Relay is a high-throughput network proxy that encrypts and decrypts data in transit - sitting between our customers' services and their APIs, handling thousands of requests per second
- Functions are secure serverless runtimes (Node.js and Python) that process encrypted data without exposing it in plaintext
- Enclaves let developers deploy Docker containers into AWS Nitro Secure Enclaves - confidential computing environments with cryptographic attestation, no persistent storage, and no shell access
- This is low-level, high-stakes infrastructure. Networking primitives, custom runtimes, confidential computing, encryption engines, and the kind of systems work where correctness, performance, and security all matter equally
- You'll own problems end-to-end, from understanding the customer use case, to designing the system, to shipping production code, to operating it at scale
- We work mostly in Rust and Node.js, built on AWS. But we care far more about your engineering fundamentals than knowledge of a particular language or framework
- Building and operating high-throughput forward and reverse proxies that encrypt and decrypt data in transit at tens of thousands of requests per second
- Designing and evolving custom serverless runtimes for secure code execution in isolated environments
- Working with AWS Nitro Enclaves and confidential computing - building tooling for deployment, attestation, and scaling of secure enclave workloads
- Developing and maintaining the core encryption engine that powers all of Evervault's products
- Designing developer-facing APIs, CLIs, and SDKs for infrastructure primitives
- Working with low-level networking: TLS termination, mTLS, HTTP CONNECT proxying, VSock channels, and custom DNS
- Building observability, transaction logging, and debugging tooling for environments where traditional monitoring doesn't apply
- Improving deployment pipelines, CI/CD, and infrastructure automation across the platform
- Performance engineering - profiling, benchmarking, and optimising latency and throughput in latency-sensitive paths
- Working directly with customers - debugging integrations, understanding their architectures, and shaping the roadmap from real problems
Our take
Data privacy can be complicated for those who don’t want to read thousands of pages of regulations. Evervault is focused on building a unique data-privacy interface that developers can use when creating software, providing simple developer tools to deploy applications in hardware-hardened containers, enabling clients to focus on building products rather than security.
Evervault plans to offer its service as an API to allow developers to seamlessly build it into the software stack of whatever they are creating. Around 3,000 developers are on the company's waitlist for its encryption engine, such as drone delivery firm Manna, fintech startup Okra and health tech company Vital.
The company is using funds to continue developing its main encryption product and to hire new talent. It also plans to provide further functionalities in the future such as encrypted data tagging, programmatic role-based access, and programmatic compliance.
