Design a Confidential-Computing Architecture for a Genomics Workflow
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Design a Confidential-Computing Architecture for a Genomics Workflow. Expert-level challenge in design. Designing real products under real constraints, earn ...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Design and prototype a confidential-computing architecture using SEV-SNP or TDX that keeps patient genomes opaque to the cloud provider and to the other 3 partner hospitals.
This is not a design exercise. It is the work a product designer does between a brief and a shipped interface. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates redesign Spotify's homepage and none who have worked under real product constraints.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Design a multi-party architecture using confidential computing primitives
- Implement and verify a remote-attestation flow against real hardware
- Threat-model with TEE-aware trust boundaries
- Translate cryptographic architecture into legal-grade plain language
