Head of Engineering (FULLY REMOTE)
Job Description:
Position Overview
We’re looking for a Head of Engineering to lead the team building pioneering infrastructure for secure, privacy-preserving data use. In this role, you’ll guide the development of open-source technology that enables safe data sharing and computation—unlocking value without sacrificing privacy. You’ll collaborate with a global, mission-driven community dedicated to advancing privacy-preserving AI.
What We’re Looking For
- A visionary engineering leader who can set technical direction and drive complex projects from concept through delivery.
- Strong experience building robust, production-ready systems, ideally involving distributed computation, data security, or privacy-preserving ML.
- A skilled mentor and manager who can support a globally distributed team and foster clear communication and collaboration.
- A genuine passion for open-source development and widening access to data while maintaining strong privacy protections.
- Someone pragmatic and mission-focused, able to balance innovation with practical execution in a remote, community-driven environment.
What You Need
- Proven engineering leadership experience, ideally overseeing teams working on distributed systems, security, or data-intensive applications.
- Deep knowledge of privacy-enhancing technologies (e.g., federated learning, secure multiparty computation, differential privacy) or strong expertise in distributed systems and ML infrastructure.
- Comfort working in open-source environments, including collaborative workflows, code reviews, documentation, and community contributions.
- Excellent communication skills for coordinating across time zones and collaborating with researchers, engineers, and stakeholders.
- Strong alignment with mission-driven work and a commitment to privacy, transparency, and practical innovation.
What’s In It for You
- The chance to lead engineering efforts shaping global privacy-preserving AI infrastructure.
- A remote-first, flexible work environment with passionate contributors located around the world.
- Opportunities to build open-source software that could become foundational for responsible AI across research, social, and enterprise communities.
- Significant professional growth through engagement with diverse engineers, researchers, and advocates.
- The fulfillment of contributing to meaningful work that enables responsible data use without compromising privacy.
If you’re excited to lead engineering at the frontier of privacy-preserving AI, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today and help shape technology that makes a real global impact.
