FABRIC CRYPTOGRAPHY

FABRIC CREATES NEXT-GENERATION CRYPTOGRAPHY TECHNOLOGY THAT REIMAGINES TRUST AND PRIVACY.  

Fabric is a fast-growing Series A deep tech company (full-stack across silicon, hardware and cloud) that was founded to unlock the next generation of cryptography. Encryption and decryption secured the Internet as we know it. The next paradigm of cryptography will revolutionize how we trust each other.

We are the first to build a new class of processor for the rapidly emerging verifiable compute market. Fabric’s flagship product - the Verifiable Processing Unit (VPU) - is a general-purpose, fully programmable cryptography chip built from the ground up to accelerate next-gen cryptography, such as zero-knowledge proofs and fully homomorphic encryption.

With $39 million in equity and >$60 million in pre-orders, we are rapidly scaling our team of 60+ employees to build the foundation of verifiability for the Internet.

About the job

Fabric Cryptography is seeking a visionary and accomplished Systems Leader to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of cryptographic computing. In this dynamic and high-impact position, you will be instrumental in guiding the design and development of our cutting-edge systems.
