Software Developer Cloud Security, Golang in Bochum bei Edgeless Systems

Hi there, we are Edgeless Systems!

We are a cybersecurity startup based in Bochum, Germany. We develop open source tools for secure and verifiable cloud computing. In doing so, we build on confidential computing.
Confidential computing is one of the big trend topics in cloud security. Confidential computing keeps data encrypted even during processing and enables exciting new applications. We are one of the technology leaders and operate on par with big tech. We are well funded and growing strong.

With its university and vibrant startup ecosystem, Bochum is one of the most exciting hotspots for cybersecurity in Europe. The cost of living is low and there are surprisingly many beautiful corners. We have a cool office in a central location right next to the Ruhrstadion. Home office is also an option if you prefer.

Our values
We value potential more than experience. But the latter does not hurt either. We strongly believe in open source and are always open for new things. We are fast, agile and cooperative. We are pragmatic. We create the best tech, but don't lose focus on applicability and scalability.

Our Product
Our flagship product is called Constellation. Constellation is a standalone Kubernetes distribution that keeps all data within the cluster encrypted at all times - even during processing. This allows sensitive applications to be brought into the cloud.

Our tech stack
Most of our code is written in Go, runs inside AMD SEV or Intel SGX, communicates via attested gRPC, and scales to K8s. At lower levels, most of it is written in C, C++, Rust, and ASM. From time to time we also build frontends using Go and TypeScript.
