As a Security Engineer, Product Infrastructure at the forefront of blockchain security in SaaS, you will dive deep into cloud, product, and cutting-edge Security AI building. This is your chance to directly impact the security posture of a mission-critical platform. You'll work hands-on with elite tools like Wiz and our comprehensive security stack to relentlessly monitor and respond to security threats across our dynamic AWS and Kubernetes environments.
You will be a key partner to product and platform engineering teams, driving critical remediation efforts. Beyond daily operations, you will participate in a shared on-call rotation—backed by senior engineering expertise—to tackle high-stakes production security incidents, ensuring our controls are not just reliable, but unbeatable. Join us to engineer the future of decentralized trust and security.
Respond to security tickets and alerts: investigate issues, gather context from logs and dashboards, and collaborate with Security Engineering and product/platform teams on next steps.
Partner with product, platform, and infrastructure teams to understand security findings, explain risk in clear terms, and support them in implementing secure configurations across AWS/GCP, Kubernetes clusters, and shared services.
Utilize core security tools to protect critical product cloud infrastructure (for example Wiz, CrowdStrike, SonarCloud, Okta, and related platforms)
Participate in an on-call rotation (with onboarding and shadowing) for security incidents and critical security tooling issues, providing structured triage, documentation, and communication until resolution or hand-off.
Contribute to security reviews for new services and major infrastructure changes, helping identify misconfigurations and recommending practical mitigations that fit team workflows.
Learn to read and make small, well-reviewed changes to Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) and Kubernetes configurations to help embed guardrails, hardening standards, and security checks into our infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines.
Collaborate with partners across Security, IT, Platform Engineering, Legal, Risk, and Investigations, building strong working relationships and practicing clear, empathetic communication.
Hands-on experience in security engineering
Hands-on experience with at least one security tool used in modern cloud or product environments (Wiz, Orca. SonarCloud, Upwind, or similar)
Scripting experience in Python or Go (or similar) to automate repetitive tasks, integrate tools, or build small utilities that make the team more efficient.
Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) and Kubernetes - you don’t need to be an expert yet, but you should be comfortable reviewing IaC and/or K8 manifest.
Prior participation in an on-call rotation for production systems or security incidents, even in a shadowing or secondary role.
Experience working with tickets, incidents, or production issues, and following a structured process to investigate, document, and resolve or escalate them appropriately.
Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain what you’re seeing and what you recommend as a next step to both technical and non-technical audiences.
A learning mindset and growth orientation: you’re comfortable asking questions, seeking feedback, and taking ownership.
Hands on experience with AI tools/systems as they pertain to security engineering
Cloud and containers: AWS, GCP, Kubernetes (EKS/GKE)
Infrastructure-as-Code: Terraform
Security tooling: Wiz, Cloudflare
CI/CD and source control: GitHub, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and related build/deploy tooling
Languages and scripting: Python, Go, Java, Javascript
