Job Description

• Perform deep-dive security reviews of web applications, APIs, and cloud infrastructure. • Develop security-focused tools and libraries in Go, Java, or Ruby to assist developers in writing secure code. • Support our blockchain initiatives by identifying risks in L1/L2 integrations and smart contract interactions. • Manage and tune Web Application Firewalls (WAF) and cloud-native security controls. • Contribute to the security culture through developer training and participating in incident response when necessary. • Build and maintain the tooling that integrates security into our development lifecycle, moving from manual reviews to automated, scalable guardrails. • Partner with engineering teams during the design phase of new features (Threat Modeling) to identify risks before a single line of code is written. • Manage the end-to-end lifecycle of vulnerabilities, from discovery via internal audits or Bug Bounties to collaborating with engineers on "gold-standard" remediations.

Job Requirements

  • Proven ability to perform deep-dive manual security testing while also securing production-quality code.
  • Expert-level knowledge of OWASP Top 10, CWE, and API security vulnerabilities (Go, Java, or Ruby preferred).
  • Experience building and scaling security checks directly into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins).
  • Working knowledge of AWS/GCP security configurations, particularly IAM, VPCs, and WAF management.

Benefits

  • Equity and bonuses based on individual and company performance
