Application Security Engineer - Remote

About the Role

We are seeking an Application Security Engineer to join our team remotely. As an Application Security Engineer, you will play a crucial role in safeguarding our financial and blockchain ecosystem. Your primary responsibility will be to ensure that the code we ship and run is secure by design. This position offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of traditional Fintech and emerging Web3 technologies.

What You'll Do

• Perform deep-dive security reviews of web applications, APIs, and cloud infrastructure.
• Develop security-focused tools and libraries in Go, Java, or Ruby to assist developers in writing secure code.
• Support our blockchain initiatives by identifying risks in L1/L2 integrations and smart contract interactions.
• Manage and tune Web Application Firewalls (WAF) and cloud-native security controls.
• Contribute to the security culture through developer training and participating in incident response when necessary.
• Build and maintain the tooling that integrates security into our development lifecycle, moving from manual reviews to automated, scalable guardrails.
• Partner with engineering teams during the design phase of new features (Threat Modeling) to identify risks before a single line of code is written.
• Manage the end-to-end lifecycle of vulnerabilities, from discovery via internal audits or Bug Bounties to collaborating with engineers on "gold-standard" remediations.

Requirements

• Proven ability to perform deep-dive manual security testing while also securing production-quality code.
• Expert-level knowledge of OWASP Top 10, CWE, and API security vulnerabilities (Go, Java, or Ruby preferred).
• Experience building and scaling security checks directly into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins).
• Working knowledge of AWS/GCP security configurations, particularly IAM, VPCs, and WAF management.

Nice to Have

• Experience with blockchain security practices.
• Familiarity with security frameworks and compliance standards.
• Knowledge of secure coding practices.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary ranging from $169,200 to $195,000 per year.
• Fully remote work environment, allowing you to work from anywhere.
• Opportunities for professional development and continuous learning.
• Comprehensive health benefits and wellness programs.
• Flexible working hours to promote work-life balance.
