Key Responsibilities

  • Design and implement secure infrastructure, including hardening cloud environments, containers, and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Help build detection and monitoring systems (e.g., SIEM, alerting pipelines) to ensure early threat detection and effective incident response.
  • Collaborate with engineers and DevOps to identify security risks in architecture reviews, system upgrades, and deployment plans.
  • Contribute to the design and review of Terraform, Ansible, or similar IaC, ensuring security is embedded from the ground up.
  • Participate in threat modeling, internal audits, and hands-on vulnerability remediation across our stack.
  • Work closely with Protocol Security, DevOps, and Product Engineering to align on shared security goals and ensure coverage across the full lifecycle.
  • Help implement tools to detect unusual infrastructure-level activity from on-chain signals (e.g., misuse of credentials or suspicious deployment patterns).
  • What We're Looking For

  • Hands-on experience securing cloud-native environments (e.g., AWS, GCP), Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and internal systems.
  • Practical knowledge of threat modeling, incident response, vulnerability management, and systems architecture.
  • Familiarity with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, etc.), secrets management, and security automation tooling.
  • A self-starter who’s comfortable with ambiguity and can drive security work through delivery — not just assessment.
  • Able to partner across teams, raise risks constructively, and translate complex security concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Familiarity with the security considerations of decentralized infrastructure and open-source ecosystems. Bonus for knowledge of Ethereum, Solidity, or ZK-related tech.
