Job Description
This position is responsible for ensuring the security and integrity of blockchain-based systems and applications. The candidate will work closely with development teams to identify, assess, and mitigate potential security risks across all layers of blockchain architecture. Key focus areas include smart contract security, protocol-level vulnerabilities, and the implementation of robust security frameworks for Web3 environments. The role requires proactive measures to prevent security breaches, respond to incidents, and maintain compliance with evolving industry standards. This is a critical role in safeguarding the company's digital assets and user data through comprehensive security strategies.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct in-depth security reviews of blockchain applications, with a focus on smart contract and protocol-level vulnerabilities. This includes analyzing code for logical flaws, gas optimization issues, and potential exploits.
- Design and implement a holistic Web3 security framework that integrates threat modeling, access control mechanisms, and secure development practices.
- Perform regular code audits and architectural assessments to detect and remediate security weaknesses, ensuring alignment with OWASP Top Ten and other industry benchmarks.
- Establish and maintain security testing protocols, including automated penetration testing, static code analysis, and dynamic vulnerability scanning tools.
- Lead incident response efforts by investigating security breaches, coordinating with cross-functional teams, and developing recovery strategies to minimize damage.
- Stay updated on the latest blockchain security threats, research emerging attack vectors, and recommend proactive countermeasures to enhance system resilience.
- Develop and maintain data protection policies, privacy frameworks, and compliance documentation to meet regulatory requirements such as GDPR and CCPA.
- Provide security training programs and awareness campaigns to educate developers, stakeholders, and end-users on best practices for secure blockchain interactions.
- Collaborate with legal and compliance teams to ensure security measures align with global data protection regulations and industry standards.
- Document security findings, remediation steps, and audit results to create a centralized knowledge base for continuous improvement.
Job Requirements
- Proven experience in blockchain security, with a minimum of 5 years in smart contract development, auditing, or penetration testing.
- Expertise in cryptographic protocols, zero-knowledge proofs, and secure consensus mechanisms to design robust security solutions.
- Strong proficiency in programming languages such as Solidity, Python, and JavaScript for analyzing and modifying blockchain codebases.
- Knowledge of Web3 security tools like MythX, Slither, and Truffle to automate vulnerability detection and remediation processes.
- Ability to interpret security logs, blockchain transaction data, and smart contract interactions to identify suspicious patterns.
- Experience with security frameworks like NIST Cybersecurity Framework and ISO 27001 to structure enterprise-level security strategies.
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills to evaluate complex security scenarios and propose innovative mitigation techniques.
- Strong communication abilities to present technical security findings to non-technical stakeholders and collaborate with development teams.
- Preferred certifications such as Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) or Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) for enhanced credibility.
- Ability to work independently and manage multiple security projects simultaneously while maintaining high-quality deliverables.
