- Review code throughout the technology stack and help engineering teams resolve issues related to security guardrails.
- Foster an efficient testing culture while reducing technical debt and unnecessary processes.

## Responsibilities
- Build robust, resilient components that are easily integrated by other teams to ensure asset and data security.
- Develop and maintain threat models for cryptosystem guarantees, both internal and external.
- Monitor technical debt and proactively identify areas for improvement.
- Lead or substantially contribute to medium and large Security Team initiatives with minimal oversight.
- Coordinate team members across engineering boundaries and drive projects from inception to completion.
- Break complex projects into manageable tasks with accurate time and scope estimates.
- Present options clearly, analyze tradeoffs thoroughly, and provide well-reasoned priority recommendations.
- Mentor and guide engineers throughout the Engineering team.
- Collaborate across teams to solve problems, review specifications, and engage in technical discussions.

## You may be a fit if you have
- Strong foundation in applied cryptography, including symmetric/asymmetric encryption, hashing algorithms, digital signatures, key exchange protocols, and common cryptographic libraries.
- Contribute to the design and implementation of secure systems, with a focus on security best practices and industry standards.
- Experience with **Hardware Security Modules (HSMs)** for secure key generation, storage, and management.
- Implement various authentication and authorization mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication, **OAuth 2.0**, and **role-based access control (RBAC)**.
- Threat modeling: Identify and assess potential threats to systems and applications, and prioritize mitigation strategies.
- Developed computer science fundamentals (concurrency, algorithms, and data structures).
- Care about code quality and test infrastructure.
- Prioritize security, end-user experience, and business value.

## Bonus
- Blockchain protocol experience.
- Stay up to date with cryptoasset innovations.
