Careers.

We're building the cryptographic guardrail layer for AI agents — the substrate that lets enterprises put high-stakes workflows in production with mathematical certainty. Small team. Real distribution. Compounding work.

Why this work.

Agent governance today is policy theatre: best-effort middleware that fails open under prompt injection. Inherence compiles policy into a deterministic gate plus a zero-knowledge proof — every action is enforced before it executes and verifiable by auditors, regulators, or counterparties without revealing the underlying data. The frameworks that get this right will define how AI ships into healthcare, finance, and infrastructure for the next decade. We're building one.

Open roles.

We hire for craft, judgment, and intellectual seriousness. If your background doesn't match a listed role but you think you'd be a fit, write us anyway.

    Compiler Engineer

    Rust · SMT · LA or remote

    Own one stage of the policy → circuit pipeline. Translation validation against Z3 / CVC5, side-channel hardening, single-pass compilation. Code you write runs inside regulated production environments.

    Cryptography Researcher

    Groth16 / Plonk / Plonky2 · LA or remote

    Drive circuit optimizations and the soundness proofs that underlie our patent-pending performance. PhD or equivalent depth in zkSNARKs, SNARK-friendly hashing, or pairing-based crypto. Publish if you want; ship either way.

    Solutions Engineer

    Enterprise pilots · LA preferred

    Translate customer policy docs (HIPAA, AP2, SEC 15c3-5, internal Rego/Cedar) into shipping Inherence deployments. You'll embed with pilot teams for weeks at a time and own outcomes end-to-end.

    Marketing · dashboard · docs · LA or remote

    Own the surface from marketing through to the developer dashboard. Strong typography and information-design taste required. Comfortable shipping production code is a plus, not a requirement.
