📋 Description

• Lead product security architecture, ensuring security principles are embedded into core platform design and development cycles. • Analyze and secure key management systems, transaction pipelines, and signing workflows across modern distributed networks. • Perform system-level threat modeling for new product features, protocols, and multi-chain integrations. • Design and evaluate security-sensitive components, including authentication protocols, authorization frameworks, and applied cryptographic workflows. • Define, implement, and maintain multi-layered security controls across the application, infrastructure, and protocol layers. • Own and expand end-to-end software supply-chain security, spanning dependency scanning in CI pipelines to local developer environments. • Enforce security configurations into version-controlled repositories to prevent configuration drift and enhance auditability. • Investigate emerging security risks related to blockchain protocols, institutional custody models, and novel cryptographic techniques. • Support ongoing SOC 2, ISO 27001, and ISO 22301 compliance frameworks alongside expanding control surfaces. • Provide day-to-day guidance to engineering teams to make secure patterns accessible, while supporting incident response and root-cause analysis when necessary. • Participate in security architecture reviews with tier-one banking partners, external auditors, and enterprise clients. • Contribute to technical research, whitepapers, and conference presentations to advance the digital asset security field.

🎯 Requirements

• 10+ years in security engineering, product security, or security architecture roles. • Demonstrated track record of securing financial infrastructure, institutional blockchain platforms, or both. • Deep understanding of cryptographic protocols, wallet architectures, and key management frameworks. Direct experience with Multi-Party Computation (MPC), threshold signatures, or HSM-backed solutions is strongly preferred. • Extensive experience performing comprehensive system-level threat models and architecture reviews. • Solid foundational knowledge of distributed systems, networking protocols, and cloud computing platforms (primarily AWS). • Hands-on experience implementing software supply-chain defenses and managing security configurations via code to prevent drift. • Familiarity with maintaining live audit cycles for frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 22301, and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. • Professional familiarity with modern backend languages such as Rust or TypeScript. • Exceptional ability to communicate complex security concepts effectively to both internal engineering teams and external enterprise stakeholders.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive executive-level compensation package. • Flexible, remote-first work environment. • Comprehensive health, wellness, and benefits coverage tailored to regional standards. • Generous paid time off (PTO) and personal Leave policy. • Professional development budget for security research, certifications, and industry conferences. • Exposure to cutting-edge cryptographic engineering alongside leading global financial institutions.
