Security Research Engineer
You will investigate emerging blockchain threats, vulnerabilities, and attack vectors across smart contracts, protocols, economic systems, and off-chain infrastructure. You will analyze real-world attacks and convert research findings into detection and prevention capabilities. You will develop security tools, heuristics, rule sets, models, and research-driven logic for real-time threat detection and mitigation. You will identify Web3 security vulnerabilities and own significant technical-development segments, shaping security products for high security and efficiency.
Responsibilities
- Develop heuristics, rule sets, models, and research-driven logic for the real-time threat detection engine.
- Research blockchain protocols, smart contracts, bridges, and DeFi mechanisms to uncover threat patterns and exploitation techniques.
- Analyze real-world Web3 exploits and adversarial behavior to identify detection and prevention opportunities.
- Develop tools and contribute to systems that detect and mitigate security risks in real time.
- Identify and analyze Web3 security vulnerabilities.
- Define and shape Web3 security products.
Requirements
- 5+ years of hands-on security research experience with the ability to find, understand, and explain complex vulnerabilities.
- Multi-year experience building systems with Python, object-oriented programming, and SOLID principles, including production-grade code contributions.
- Analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Written and verbal communication skills.
- Understanding of the Ethereum Virtual Machine.
- Smart contract development experience.
- Familiarity with smart contract vulnerabilities and blockchain security concepts.
- Knowledge of trading and finance concepts.
- Cloud development experience with AWS infrastructure.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent.
