Blockchain services client is currently looking for an Application Security Lead with extensive coding experience.

This is a crucial role where you will bring your technical abilities to recognize and reduce risk to the ecosystem and effectively influence a wide group of stakeholders.

It is a unique opportunity to help secure an innovative organization where feedback is direct and honest and understands that a checkbox approach doesn't get results.

Key Requirements:

1. Strong knowledge of secure coding practices.
2. Risk-based approach and pragmatism to enhance the level of security in partnership with different stakeholders.
3. Familiarity with security frameworks and approaches such as SAST, DAST, fuzzing, property-based testing, symbolic execution, and network simulation.
4. Experience in threat modeling, red/blue teaming, working with best-in-class independent security teams, and turning their findings into actual deployed fixes in our codebase (as well as implementing lessons learned).
5. An ability to work with a diverse set of stakeholders to valorize security and influence best practices.
6. Advanced skills in analyzing and mitigating cyber security threats.
7. Understanding of web3 application architecture - ideally including cryptography, decentralized networking, blockchain consensus, and hardware key management solutions.
8. Proficiency with security tools and technologies, and the ability to create own tools when needed.
9. Proficiency in multiple programming languages - ideally RUST and Typescript.
10. A focus on outcomes (rather than activities) and delivering against outcomes with limited interference day-to-day.
