What You'll Do
- Assist in developing secure software by writing and optimizing Rust code for security-critical components and tools.
- Perform deep manual and automated code reviews to identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities.
- Design and implement machine learning models for automated security analysis, anomaly detection, and threat mitigation.
- Manage bug bounty submissions, triage security reports, and collaborate with ethical hackers to resolve issues.
- Work with engineering teams to integrate security best practices into the software development lifecycle.
- Identify and assess security risks in our blockchain infrastructure, smart contracts, and core software.
- Research and implement the latest advancements in secure coding, ML-driven security, and blockchain security.
Requirements
- Experience with secure coding practices and memory safety concepts.
- Background in code auditing, vulnerability analysis, or exploit development.
- Experience triaging and resolving bug bounty reports.
- Knowledge of machine learning techniques applied to security (e.g., anomaly detection, fuzzing, automated threat detection).
- Familiarity with cryptographic principles, blockchain security, or decentralized systems.
- Strong problem-solving skills and an offensive security mindset.
Nice to Have
- Experience with Rust programming language.
- Familiarity with Web3 technologies and decentralized applications.
- Previous experience in a security engineering role.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary ranging from $120,000 to $150,000 annually.
- Remote work flexibility with opportunities for team retreats.
- Collaborative environment with some of the brightest minds in the Web3 space.
- Opportunity to work on impactful projects that shape the future of blockchain technology.
- Supportive team culture that values diversity and inclusion.
This role offers a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of blockchain security, with a focus on innovative technologies and remote flexibility.
Who Will Succeed Here
Proficiency in Rust programming, with a strong understanding of memory safety and concurrency, enabling the development of secure applications and protocols.
Demonstrated experience in conducting thorough vulnerability analysis and code auditing, utilizing tools like Bandit or RustSec to identify and mitigate security risks in decentralized applications.
A proactive mindset towards adopting machine learning techniques for anomaly detection in security threats, showcasing a willingness to stay updated with the latest trends in blockchain and cryptographic security.
