Introducing the first ever Confidential Multi-Cloud Platform

Important: EU/DE citizenship mandatory 
Why This Role Exists
Confidential computing is moving from research labs into the core of global digital infrastructure — and the industry lacks real production platforms that can make encrypted-in-use computing practical at scale. Enclaive exists to close that gap. We are building the foundational infrastructure layer that allows governments, healthcare providers, AI companies, and regulated enterprises to run their most sensitive workloads without ever exposing raw data — across clouds, borders, and trust boundaries.
This role exists because the future of cloud will not be built by incremental DevOps — it will be engineered by deep systems thinkers who can turn breakthrough security concepts into real, operable platforms. We need a technical leader who can translate confidential computing from theory into reliable multi-cloud infrastructure that developers trust and enterprises depend on. You will help define how secure AI and privacy-preserving SaaS are built over the next decade — creating the operational backbone for a new class of secure digital services.
At Enclaive, infrastructure is not a support function — it is the product. This role exists to architect the secure execution layer that makes confidential computing usable, scalable, and economically viable in the real world. 
Role Overview
As Lead of the Infrastructure &amp; CloudOps team, you will own the architecture and delivery of Enclaive’s confidential infrastructure stack. You will lead a small high-impact engineering team and remain deeply hands-on in building:
<ul>
<li>Secure multi-tenant platforms running on bare metal and virtualized infrastructure</li>
<li>Hybrid private/public cloud infrastructure</li>
<li>Managed confidential Kubernetes environments</li>
<li>Managed in-use encrypting databases</li>
<li>Confidential container runtime environments leveraging Confidential Virtualization (KVM/QEMU), Kata Containers and hardware TEEs</li>
</ul>
You will be responsible for turning advanced confidential computing concepts into reliable, scalable production platforms.
