Axiado is building the future of AI powered digital infrastructure. We are a fast-growing, well funded silicon, systems, and solutions company pioneering a new category of semiconductor called the Trusted Control/Compute Unit (TCU) that combines advanced hardware security, AI driven resilience and efficiency, and real-time platform management. Our technology protects the world’s most critical infrastructure—from data centers to next generation cloud and AI platforms—by securing systems at the foundation levels of hardware, independent of host CPUs and operating systems. 

Founded in 2019 and now over 150 employees are strong, Axiado has evolved into a recognized leader in the convergence of AI, security, and silicon innovation. We partner with and are actively engaged in commercial programs with multiple Tier 1 industry leaders, validating both our technology and our long-term market trajectory. Axiado has also won numerous industry awards for our ground-breaking products and technological innovations, including being named one of Fast Company’s 2025 Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Security, winning the 2025 Global InfoSec Award for Outstanding AI Security Solution, and being named a finalist for the Global Semiconductor Alliance’s 2025 “Start-Up to Watch” award. 

At Axiado, developing breakthrough technology takes more than great engineering—it takes a team of exceptional people who collaborate boldly, challenge assumptions, and take pride in building what comes next. We value curiosity, execution, respect, and a shared desire to make a meaningful impact on the security and reliability of the digital world. 

If you’re driven to innovate, energized by hard problems, and excited to help define the future of secure AI infrastructure, we invite you to apply and join us on this journey. 

We are seeking a highly skilled Security Software Engineer with expertise in Trusted Platform Modules (TPM), Firmware Attestation, and Root of Trust (RoT). The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with TPM firmware and protocols and will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining robust security solutions to protect hardware, firmware, and software integrity. 

Key Responsibilities: 

• Develop, integrate, and maintain security solutions focused on TPM, firmware attestation, and Root of Trust (RoT). 

• Implement and optimize TPM firmware and protocols to ensure robust device security. 

• Conduct threat modeling, risk assessments, and vulnerability analysis on firmware security components. 

• Work closely with hardware and firmware teams to ensure secure lifecycle management of embedded devices. 

• Develop secure firmware update mechanisms with integrity verification. 

• Automate security validation and compliance testing for TPM and firmware security features. 

• Stay updated on industry security standards and protocols (e.g., TCG, NIST, FIPS, ISO 27001) and implement best practices. 

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science. 

• 10+ years of experience in security software development with a focus on firmware and hardware security. 

• Hands-on experience with TPM firmware and protocols (TPM 2.0). 

• Proficiency in C, for low-level security software development. 

• Strong understanding of cryptographic algorithms, secure key management, and hardware-backed security. 

• Familiarity with UEFI/BIOS security, secure enclave technologies, and embedded security solutions. 

• Knowledge of security vulnerabilities, mitigations, and industry best practices. 

• Experience working with open-source TPM stacks is a plus. 

Axiado is committed to attracting, developing, and retaining the highest caliber talent in a diverse and multifaceted environment. We are headquartered in the heart of Silicon Valley, with access to the world's leading research, technology and talent.

We are building an exceptional team to secure every node on the internet. For us, solving real-world problems takes precedence over purely theoretical problems. As a result, we prefer individuals with persistence, intelligence and high curiosity over pedigree alone. Working hard and smart, continuous learning and mutual support are all part of who we are.
