About the role
<div class="content-intro"><p><strong data-stringify-type="bold">About OPAQUE</strong><br>OPAQUE is the Confidential AI company. Born from UC Berkeley’s RISELab, we solve the core challenge blocking AI adoption at scale: security concerns about data leaks or compliance violations. OPAQUE provides verifiable privacy and governance for AI so organizations can safely run models, agents, and workflows on their most sensitive data. Its Confidential AI platform delivers verifiable runtime governance backed by cryptographic proof that data, models, and agent actions remain private, governed, and compliant with approved policies throughout every AI workflow. This extends traditional data governance tools with real runtime verification, enabling teams to responsibly deploy AI using their most valuable proprietary data, and move from pilot to production 4-5X faster. Customers and partners include ServiceNow, Anthropic, Encore Capital, Accenture, and leaders across high tech, financial services, insurance, and healthcare.</p> <p>Learn More at <a href="http://opaque.co/">Opaque.co</a></p> <p>Read about our Values at <a href="http://opaque.co/about">Opaque.co/about</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p></div><p><strong>ABOUT THIS ROLE</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As a Forward Deployed Engineer (AI) at OPAQUE Systems, you are the technical bridge between our enterprise customers and OPAQUE's confidential AI platform.
