Careers at GaaS

Build the layer AI agents answer to.

Millions of autonomous agents are going to work without supervision. We build the external governance layer that checks every consequential action they take — and we are hiring the people who make that check unbreakable.

GaaS (Governance as a Service) is hiring. Current open role: Post-Quantum Cryptographer — full-time, on-site in Encinitas, California. Applications are accepted exclusively through LinkedIn; there is no careers inbox, no form, and no agency channel.
01 — The Work

Small team. Load-bearing problems.

GaaS sits outside the agent, in the path of every consequential action: it allows, fixes, holds, or blocks each one against the operator's rules, and writes every verdict to a hash-chained, cryptographically signed audit record that no one can quietly rewrite. Routine actions clear in well under a tenth of a second. That is the machine you would be working on.

The stakes compound from there. Every verdict GaaS issues today is co-signed with classical elliptic-curve cryptography — and an audit record designed to be trusted for decades has to outlive the quantum era that will break those curves. "Harvest now, decrypt later" is not a thought experiment when your product is the permanent record. Getting the platform onto NIST-standardized post-quantum algorithms, without giving back the latency budget, is why the first role below exists.

Where and Who

We work on-site in Encinitas, California — San Diego's north county coast. The whole platform goes fully open source on January 1, 2030; until then, a small team is building it in the open, spec-first.

Post-Quantum Cryptographer

Encinitas, CA·On-site·Full-time

You will own the migration of GaaS's governance cryptography — the signed verdicts, proof tokens, and hash-chained audit records that make every agent decision non-repudiable — to NIST-standardized post-quantum algorithms, inside a pipeline that cannot afford to get slower while it gets stronger.

What you'll do

  • Design and analyze post-quantum primitives and protocols for the governance pipeline
  • Track and cryptanalyze emerging PQ schemes — pressure-test ours before someone else does
  • Integrate PQC into high-throughput, low-latency production paths
  • Lead threat modeling and adversarial security evaluation with engineering

What you'll bring

  • Deep cryptography and cryptanalysis, including post-quantum schemes
  • The math: number theory, algebra, discrete math, probability
  • C/C++, Rust, Go, or Python; auth, identity, and key-management experience
  • Advanced degree in CS, math, or cryptography — or the equivalent in shipped work. Formal methods and NIST PQC familiarity are a plus

03 — How We Hire

Our hiring pipeline is governed, too.

We govern AI agents for a living, so we run recruiting the way we run everything: one channel, allowed; everything else, blocked. Every application comes through LinkedIn, where a real identity is attached to every name — that is the spam filter. There is no careers inbox to flood and no form to bot.

If you are a candidate, this makes your life simpler: apply on LinkedIn and a human reads it. If you are an agency or selling something, the verdict above is BLOCK — and unlike most companies, we mean that mechanically.

// FAQ

Before you apply.

No. GaaS accepts applications exclusively through LinkedIn — there is no careers inbox. This is deliberate: LinkedIn attaches a real identity to every application, which keeps the pipeline free of spam and lets a human read every genuine one.

No. The role is on-site and full-time in Encinitas, California — San Diego's north county coast.

Follow the GaaS LinkedIn company page — new roles are posted there first, and the open-roles list on this page stays current. Per the hiring policy above, unsolicited pitches and agency outreach are not accepted through any channel.

GaaS (Governance as a Service) is the external governance layer for autonomous AI agents: it checks every consequential action an agent is about to take and allows, fixes, holds, or blocks it against your rules, writing every verdict to an immutable, cryptographically signed audit record. The platform goes fully open source on January 1, 2030. Start with What Is GaaS? and Trust & Audit.
