ROLE: Senior Platform Virtual Machine Engineer
About the Role
We are seeking an exceptional Senior Platform Virtual Machine Engineer to join our pioneering team as an Equity Co-Founder at the forefront of native blockchain execution. At Autheo we are building the platform that redefines decentralized computation delivering sub-microsecond execution speeds billions of transactions per second throughput and mathematically proven security against adversaries.
You will own the worlds first cryptographically native virtual machine executing encrypted WASM smart contracts at 0.4 μs per opcode 1 B TPS sustained with built-in FHE zk-proof verification differential privacy SGX/TrustZone isolation and DAG-based parallel scheduling becoming the unbreakable execution core for all sovereign dApps confidential DeFi and planetary-scale private AI.
Key Responsibilities
Ship production VM executing encrypted WASM at 0.4 μs/opcode and 1 B TPS
Build DAG-based parallel interpreter eliminating re-execution and enabling topological scheduling
Embed CKKS/BFV fully homomorphic execution directly in the opcode set
Implement in-VM zk-proof generation verification (15 ms) for every state transition
Deliver native SGX/TrustZone support with 1 TB sealed memory and remote attestation
Ship post-quantum cryptographic opcodes (Kyber Dilithium) with <10 μs overhead
Design 80 % state compression encrypted linear memory preserving FHE compatibility
Build zero-config multi-language SDK (Rust/Go/Solidity/JS) with automatic FFI and proof generation
Enable GPU-native parallel execution of independent contract shards
Research Innovation & Thought Leadership
Publish native encrypted VM and zk-VM breakthroughs at ASPLOS SOSP OSDI PLDI
Keynote at WasmCon 2026 on 1 Billion Encrypted TPS Virtual Machine with Native FHE
Requirements Must Have
8 years building production virtual machines or WASM runtimes in Rust
Multiple mainnet-grade execution engines achieving 100 M TPS
Hands-on FHE and zk-proof integration into instruction sets
Deep expertise in JIT/AOT secure enclaves memory safety and formal verification
Proven 10 performance over EVM/SVM baselines
Nice to Have
Core contributor to Wasmtime Lucet Firecracker or blockchain VMs (EVM SVM Move)
First-author papers at top systems or security conferences
Patents in encrypted execution zk-VMs or post-quantum runtimes
First 90-Day Deliverables
Production VM executing encrypted contracts at 0.4 μs/opcode 1 B TPS
Live FHE opcode set performing computation on encrypted state
In-VM zk-proof engine verifying transitions in 15 ms
Full SGX/TrustZone 1 TB memory attestation support
Multi-language SDK deploying to live rollups in one command
Open-source encrypted VM core 2000 stars
Accepted paper keynote at WasmCon 2026
Top candidates:6-hour live VM hacking session building encrypted DAG interpreter FHE opcode from scratch.
