Job Description
Trust Framework Architect (Digital Identity & Verifiable Credentials)
About the Role
We’re looking for a Trust Framework Architect to design and operationalize the standards, logic, and governance that underpin a new era of digital identity. This position will be responsible for shaping the framework for credential trust across our verifiable credential (VC) SDK, setting the foundation for a secure, interoperable, and compliant credentialing within the identity system. In an effort to establish the “gold standard” for credential issuance, you will design the processes, protocols, and oversight mechanisms that define what makes a digital credential worthy of trust in high-stakes environments within regulated industries.
This role blends strategic and architectural thinking, focusing on defining the certification requirements, decision logic, compliance measures, edge cases, and ongoing governance necessary to maintain trust at scale.
Key Responsibilities
Governance and Issuer Accreditation

Key Responsibilities
Governance and Issuer Accreditation
- Establish a governance charter defining the rights, duties, and accountability of credential issuers, auditors, and relying parties.
- Architect the full lifecycle for trusted issuers, developing onboarding, analysis and evaluation, validation, and monitoring processes that ensure issuers meet stringent requirements before and after issuance.
- Align internal standards with global frameworks (e.g., W3C, DIF, ISO, NIST, EBSI) while identifying and closing gaps in usability or trust adoption.
- Define end-to-end credentialing standards, including the data, documents, and rigorous validation steps required for key credential types (e.g., name, age, etc.).
- Maintain an auditable trust registry documenting which issuers are authorized to issue which credential types.
- Define standard operating procedures (SOPs) for credential issuance workflows—validation of claims, cryptographic signing, and revocation.
- Mandate credential lifecycle policies, covering issuance, suspension, expiry, renewal, and revocation procedures.
