Eigen Labs is building the infrastructure for a more trustworthy internet.
Today's digital world runs on trust-me promises: "Trust that this AI model is giving you unbiased results." "Trust that this platform isn't manipulating your feed." "Trust that this service will honor its commitments." These trust assumptions create massive friction and limit what's possible online.
EigenCloud changes this by making any digital service verifiable. Built on our EigenLayer protocol, which has attracted billions in economic security, EigenCloud lets developers build applications with mathematical trust guarantees instead of pinky promises.
For developers, this means the best of both worlds: Use familiar cloud tools and programming environments while gaining blockchain-level verifiability. No need to rewrite your application in specialized blockchain languages or accept the limitations of smart contract environments.
For the world, this unlocks transformative applications:
AI systems with economic accountability for their outputs
Social platforms with verifiable, manipulation-resistant algorithms
Prediction markets that can resolve on any real-world event
Financial services with cryptographic transparency
Any application where trust and correctness matter
We're moving beyond crypto's current focus on digital money to make all digital interactions more trustworthy. With the fastest-growing developer ecosystem in crypto and backing from top-tier investors, we're at the inflection point where verifiable computing goes mainstream.
Ready to build the trust layer for the internet? We're looking for builders who want to solve hard problems and create technology that makes the digital world fundamentally more reliable.
The Research and Development (RnD) team works on cutting edge problems related to verifiable computing. Being a part of this team you will get to do both research and development of the product from MVP to launching it to customers. Our current work derives from confidential computing space and how to make it available to users using blockchain technologies. Our team is small and we expect everyone to be super high agency
You will work closely with product managers, engineers and our outside partners to solve some of the most complex and challenging problems in this space.
You will lead research in confidential computing technologies (such as Intel TDX) to develop a deep, end-to-end understanding of their architecture, capabilities, and limitations. You will also be responsible for designing and implementing robust, production-grade systems that leverage these technologies.
This is a full-time hybrid position based in Seattle, with remote flexibility for exceptionally strong candidates.
Lead groundbreaking research in Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) - such as Intel TDX - to explore how they can power the next generation of verifiable and trust-minimized offchain systems.
Design and build production-grade systems that bring blockchain-level verifiability to offchain computation, bridging the gap between secure hardware and decentralized trust.
Architect, implement, and scale secure, high-performance infrastructure that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in verifiable compute - from prototype to full production deployment.
Deep understanding of Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) such as Intel TDX/SGX including its internal architectures, security models, and limitations.
Strong computer science fundamentals with experience designing scalable, reliable, and secure distributed systems.
A passion for tackling ambiguous, complex problems and driving clarity through experimentation, creativity, and technical excellence.
You’re highly proficient in Rust and Go.
Familiarity with state-of-the-art blockchain systems and the evolving landscape of verifiable compute.
Hands-on experience working with Intel TDX, especially in GPU-accelerated environments.
Practical experience deploying or managing cloud-based TEE systems (e.g., Intel TDX on GCP, or similar platforms).
The target salary range for this role is $190,000 - $220,000 USD. The listed range reflects compensation for candidates located in U.S. Tier 1 markets and may vary depending on your location. In addition to base salary, total compensation may include short- and long-term incentives as well as program-specific awards.
Eigen Labs also offers a comprehensive benefits package, which includes:
Competitive salary and non-cash compensation (tokens and equity)
World class benefits package (medical/dental/vision)
Remote work set up stipend
Flexible hours and a supportive remote environment
Flexible time off
401(k) retirement plan + company match
Monthly wellness benefit
Yearly off-sites
Paid parental leave
If hired outside of the US through an EOR, benefits will be offered based on specific country requirements and EOR offerings
There's one more, very important thing. We are an equal opportunity employer. We search for amazing people of diverse backgrounds, experiences, abilities, and perspectives. We take care of each other to create an inclusive work environment where we love to come to work every day. We hope you can join us.
With EigenLayer, building blockchain infrastructure modules (AVSs) in a permissionless manner is no longer a hypothetical—it's our reality. Now, we invite you to be part of this exciting journey.

What We Do
Our team is remote-friendly, with a strong presence in Seattle and NYC. Founder Sreeram Kannan was a professor at the University of Washington, and the Head of the UW Blockchain Lab. The first team members came out of that lab.
Our culture is characterized by intellectual curiosity, collaborative debate, ownership mentality, integrity, and respect.
Our mission is to build coordination engines that empower open innovation. This mission has a beginning but no end. We consider ourselves players in an infinite sum game.
