Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Fellows will contribute to open standards for verifiable AI agents, focusing on agent identity, model protection, and cryptographic evidence. Responsibilities include shipping merged PRs, creating technical artifacts, and participating in weekly and monthly meetings.
Applicants should be security engineers, PhD students/postdocs in formal verification or distributed systems, or AI governance practitioners. A 2-page proposal grounded in a specific repository and a GitHub handle are required for application.
About OPAQUE
OPAQUE is the Confidential AI company. Born from UC Berkeley’s RISELab, we solve the core challenge blocking AI adoption at scale: security concerns about data leaks or compliance violations. OPAQUE provides verifiable privacy and governance for AI so organizations can safely run models, agents, and workflows on their most sensitive data. Its Confidential AI platform delivers verifiable runtime governance backed by cryptographic proof that data, models, and agent actions remain private, governed, and compliant with approved policies throughout every AI workflow. This extends traditional data governance tools with real runtime verification, enabling teams to responsibly deploy AI using their most valuable proprietary data, and move from pilot to production 4-5X faster. Customers and partners include ServiceNow, Anthropic, Encore Capital, Accenture, and leaders across high tech, financial services, insurance, and healthcare.

The AgenTrust Fellowship is a six-month, paid, part-time program for engineers, researchers, and governance practitioners to help build the open standards for verifiable AI agents. Fellows work alongside OPAQUE Chief Platform Officer and Agent Governance Toolkit creator Imran Siddique, contributing to the open agentrust-io ecosystem: TRACE, Confidential MCP, Confidential A2A, Agent Manifest, Model Manifest (Weight Custody), and AGT.
It is a community and standards program, not an internship, research grant, or hiring pipeline. Fellows keep their current role or studies and contribute about 20 hours a week.
Logistics:
6 months (September 15, 2026, to March 2027). Part-time, about 20 hrs/week. Fully remote. Stipend $30,000 to $50,000 per fellow for the term. Cohort of 3 to 5. Applications open August 1 and close August 29, 2026, via Greenhouse.
OPAQUE is the confidential AI platform unblocking AI value using sensitive data by making trust verifiable.
AI is driving a massive platform shift, but like every major shift (PC, mobile, cloud), it demands a trust layer upgrade. AI is no different, except this time these systems are autonomous, non-deterministic, and operating at machine speed. Today, Enterprise AI leaders face a critical conflict. CEOs mandate AI adoption everywhere for competitive advantage and productivity gains, but CISOs, security and compliance teams rightfully block production deployments of AI agents using sensitive data due to risks of leaking data and violating compliance policies. OPAQUE’s Confidential AI Platform solves this with verifiable runtime governance, enabling enterprises to securely use valuable proprietary data to power AI agents and workflows, and ground AI to triple model accuracy, all while maintaining policy compliance. OPAQUE is the only Confidential AI platform designed specifically for AI workloads to deliver cryptographic proof of data and model weight privacy, and policy enforcement. OPAQUE unblocks AI value by making trust verifiable so organizations can responsibly harness AI while preserving data privacy, sovereignty, and compliance. OPAQUE embeds verifiable trust directly into the AI runtime, enforcing security, privacy, and policy compliance across the entire lifecycle—before, during, and after runtime.
