📋 Description

• Threat model new product features and integrations and harden systems with effective controls. • Operate and evolve the application security toolchain (SAST, dependency and supply-chain checks, secrets scanning) and keep it high-signal for developers. • Own day-to-day security operations across the detection stack (EDR, SIEM, on-chain monitoring, identity, cloud): triage what fires, resolve what matters, and reduce noise. • Triage vulnerability and bug-bounty findings by real exposure, drive remediation, and support incident response end to end. • Take security tooling and projects from evaluation through org-wide rollout, collaborating across engineering, infra and other teams. • Automate repetitive, judgment-light security work with AI: vulnerability and AppSec workflows, access reviews, SOC 2 and audit evidence collection, vendor due diligence, and recurring reporting. • Build reusable AI components, Claude skills, and agents that engineering and other functions can adopt.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years in hands-on security engineering spanning product or application security and security operations. • Track record of technical security assessments of software and systems, including system hardening, security policy analysis and implementing effective controls. • An adversarial mindset: you think like an attacker and pressure-test assumptions, including your own. • Proficiency in Python, TypeScript, or JavaScript, working with Claude Code, Codex or similar AI tools. • Hands-on experience applying AI and LLMs to automation and building reusable tooling or components that other engineers adopted. • Experience owning security projects end to end, from vendor selection through org-wide rollout, across multiple teams. • Experience securing high-value or high-throughput transaction systems. • Clear communication: you explain risk plainly and drive findings to closure. • Bonus Points • Crypto/blockchain security experience.
