OpenAI's Security team is seeking a Hardware Platform Security Architect to own hardware platform security across the organization. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams including Silicon Design, DV, Firmware, kernel, compiler, and infrastructure teams to architect and deploy secure silicon, hardware, and systems at scale.
Key responsibilities include:
- Co-architect secure silicon with internal silicon design teams and external partners (foundries, test facilities) to meet end-to-end system security requirements, including boot measurements and GPU confidential computation.
- Co-architect secure hardware platforms by working with vendors and cross-functional teams to design systems that balance performance and security needs.
- Architect and deploy systems leveraging TPM2, Secure Boot, Nitro Enclaves, Intel SGX, AMD-SEV, and other trusted hardware technologies.
- Drive innovation by engaging with internal and external partners to align hardware innovations with OpenAI's trusted computing and cryptographic requirements.
- Own the full lifecycle of hardware security solutions from design through production deployment.
You should have 10+ years of industry experience in hardware security or hardware-software co-design, with proven expertise deploying secure hardware systems at scale. Strong coding skills in Rust and/or C/C++ are essential, along with Python proficiency. You'll need the ability to collaborate across teams, architect complex solutions, and debug production systems. An ownership-driven mindset with focus on end-to-end problem solving is critical.
Nice-to-have qualifications include an advanced degree in Computer Architecture, Electrical Engineering, or related fields, and familiarity with HPC, low-precision computing, and SIMD architectures.
OpenAI's Security team is foundational to the company's mission, protecting technology, people, and products while supporting all research and product initiatives. The team prioritizes impact, enables researchers, prepares for transformative technologies, and fosters a robust security culture.
