Build infrastructure that must not fail.

CUI Labs is a specialized software development house operating at the intersection of quantum security, autonomous AI, blockchain trust fabrics, and high-assurance financial and industrial systems.

We do not build prototypes. We build the foundational systems that global institutions will depend on for the next 50 years.

If you want simple, easy, fast — this is not the place. If you want to build systems that matter, read on.

What We Work On

Engineering systems for adversarial environments.

These systems cannot fail. This is real engineering, not hype.

  • Quantum-safe identity, custody, and settlement systems
  • Autonomous industrial control & AI safety enforcement
  • Deterministic compute environments and developer tooling
  • Decentralized trust fabrics and cross-domain interoperability
  • Zero-trust networking and privacy infrastructure

Who Thrives Here

We recruit builders, not role-fillers.

We're looking for people who:

  • Think clearly under pressure
  • Prefer correctness over convenience
  • Are comfortable operating without a playbook
  • Care about architecture, not just "code that runs"
  • Learn fast and take responsibility for outcomes
  • Value security, verification, and rigor

It's probably not a fit if you:

  • Need constant management
  • Feel uncomfortable being wrong and corrected
  • Want purely corporate stability or fixed playbooks
  • Optimize for titles instead of impact

We hire for judgment, not keywords.

If your background doesn't match a title but your ability is real, apply anyway.

How We Work

High-trust, high-accountability engineering culture.

  • Small teams — maximum leverage, minimum bureaucracy
  • High autonomy — you own what you build
  • Deep work environment — no Slack chaos, no task-churn
  • Long-cycle engineering — we prioritize correctness over "velocity"
  • Clear accountability — outcomes > optics
  • Distributed teams anchored in G20 and Global Governance Group (3G) jurisdictions

We expect world-class performance and invest deeply in those who deliver.

Compensation & Structure

Aligned incentives for long-term builders.

  • Competitive base + meaningful equity in deep-tech category-defining products
  • Traditional fiat, tokenized, or hybrid compensation structures depending on jurisdiction and role
  • Long-term comp, not short-term churn incentives
  • Location-flexible with APAC & EU engineering clusters
  • Clear advancement: Impact → Ownership → Leadership

We do not treat engineers as interchangeable. If you are excellent, you are treated like it.

What We Offer

Equity, autonomy, and the chance to build what matters.

  • Equity Stake: Meaningful equity in category-defining products (0.5-2% depending on role and seniority)
  • Competitive Base Salary: Market-rate compensation in your jurisdiction
  • Flexible Compensation: Traditional fiat, tokenized, or hybrid structures depending on preference
  • Autonomy: Own what you build. Minimal bureaucracy, maximum impact
  • Location Flexibility: Work from APAC, EU, or other G20/3G jurisdictions
  • Long-term Focus: We invest in people who stay and grow, not short-term churn
  • Clear Advancement: Impact → Ownership → Leadership
  • Deep Work Environment: No Slack chaos, no task-churn. Real engineering time

How to Apply

Show us real signal.

If you understand the mission and believe you are among the best in your field:

Email careers@cuilabs.io with:

  • Your background (CV / portfolio / GitHub / research)
  • A short note describing:
  • A system you built that had to be correct
  • The hardest problem you’ve solved technically
  • Why you want to work here

No cover letters. No HR scripts. We evaluate signal, reasoning, and depth.

One Final Note

You are not applying to join a company. You are applying to define the operating infrastructure of the post-classical world.
If that sentence feels real to you — we should talk.
