Security Engineer - Remote

Overview

As a security-focused software engineer, you will audit and write secure Rust code, conduct code audits, and leverage machine learning to enhance security across the Polkadot ecosystem.

In Short

• Assist in developing Secure Software – Write and optimise Rust code to build security-critical components and tools.
• Code Auditing & Vulnerability Analysis – Perform deep manual and automated code reviews to identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities.
• ML-Powered Security – Design and implement machine learning models for automated security analysis, anomaly detection, and threat mitigation.
• Bug Bounty & Vulnerability Management – Manage bug bounty submissions, triage security reports, and collaborate with ethical hackers to resolve issues.
• Secure Development Best Practices – Work with engineering teams to integrate security best practices into the software development lifecycle.
• Threat Modeling & Risk Assessment – Identify and assess security risks in our blockchain infrastructure, smart contracts, and core software.
• Stay Cutting-Edge – 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.

Benefits

• Work remotely and flexibly.
• Meet team mates throughout the year at team and company-wide retreats.
• Join a diverse and inclusive team.
• Opportunity to grow alongside some of the brightest minds in the Web3 space.
