Requirements
- •A record in security engineering or security research: threat modeling, security-focused code review, or vulnerability research on production systems, with findings you can walk through mechanism by mechanism
- •Proficiency in strongly typed languages such as C++, Go, or Scala
- •Deep grounding in algorithms and data structures, including their computational and memory complexity, with experience implementing them from scratch
- •Protocol-level debugging and root-cause analysis on complex distributed systems
- •Working knowledge of recent security incidents in the blockchain space and the prevention techniques behind them
- •Clear written and spoken English
What You'll Do
- •Threat-model and review Solidity contracts, blockchain state transition functions in Rust, and other critical systems before an attacker gets the chance
- •Take responsibility for the secure architecture and implementation of the components you adopt, from design review through production
- •Follow hacks, exploits, and new attack vectors across the industry and convert the lessons into concrete improvements in our systems
- •Embed secure-design practice across development teams and influence architecture decisions early, without formal authority
- •Apply modern AI systems to scale security work, while accounting for attackers using the same tools
- •Join security investigations and incident response, often under time pressure with incomplete information
Nice to Have
- •Hands-on experience with Solidity smart contracts, ZK circuits, or core blockchain protocols
- •Public security research, audit reports, bug-bounty results, or CTF history
Benefits
- •Competitive base salary with no geographic pay discounts
- •Performance-based variable compensation with a defined annual target, may pay in ZK tokens or cash
- •Long-term token incentive paid in ZK tokens with new-hire grants vesting over four years and a one-year cliff
- •Fully remote work with occasional travel to team gatherings and industry events
- •Freedom & ownership culture with no time tracking and minimum bureaucracy
