About the Company

Hi there, we are Edgeless Systems

We build software for confidential computing. Confidential computing is a cutting-edge security technology that keeps data encrypted even during processing. It has many exciting applications and many believe that the entire cloud will eventually become "confidential".

We're a VC-backed and engineering-driven company. We're an expanding team of ~20 highly knowledgeable and skilled individuals. We're headquartered in Bochum, Germany, a place with a vibrant and thriving cybersecurity community. Join us in our offices in Bochum or Berlin, or work remotely.

Our product(s)
Our open-source products Contrast and Constellation wrap entire fleets of containers or even entire Kubernetes clusters into "confidential-computing envelopes". They are the state-of-the-art in the industry and make it possible to run sensitive workloads on public clouds and elsewhere.

Using Contrast, we're also building a confidential GenAI API service based on Llama. With it, users get assurance that their prompts to the AI remain private. The security properties of this service are unparalleled in the AI space.

Our tech stack
Most of our code...

is written in Go,
runs inside AMD SEV-SNP or Intel TDX confidential VMs or on Nvidia H100s,
communicates via attested gRPC,
runs on cloud infrastructure managed by Terraform as well as bare metal,
and is scaled with Kubernetes.

When we work on lower levels of the stack (e.g., firmware or Kernel), we also use Rust and C++. Everything we do runs on Linux and we build custom Linux images with NixOS.
