Privacy engineering
The Cognitive Firewall: disclosure tiers, negotiation, and a minimizer that can only remove.
Careers
Build the counter-system.
Institutions have engineers working on their behalf. People don’t — yet. TOPOS changes that: personal AI infrastructure, built by a small team in Austin, TX.
The work
What you’d be building
Personal intelligence
Turning raw personal data into people, facts, insights, and timelines worth owning.
Local-first AI
On-device models, self-hosted nodes, and inference that never phones home.
The open engine
Code users can read, run, and trust — because the trust-critical part is public.
How we work
Small team, whole problems
Attack-tested
A release ships only if our adversarial privacy probes fail to breach it. Zero is the only passing grade.
Shipping discipline
Hardware-grade rigor, concept to production — applied to software.
Whole problems
You own outcomes, not tickets. The surface area is yours to shape.
Open roles
None posted. Write anyway.
We hire ahead of the job board. If you care about personal data ownership, privacy, and AI that works for the individual — tell us what you’d build.
