As a Senior Security Engineer, Platform Security at the forefront of blockchain security, you will work across cloud infrastructure, security operations, and AI platform reliability. This is a hands-on role for someone who is comfortable troubleshooting production systems, navigating AWS and Kubernetes environments, and partnering closely with engineering teams to drive issues to resolution. You’ll help strengthen the security posture of a mission-critical platform while also supporting the company’s Hosted AI Platform through monitoring, investigation, and operational response.
You will be a key partner to product, platform, and infrastructure engineering teams, driving remediation efforts and helping enforce practical security controls in live environments. Beyond daily operations, you will participate in a shared on-call rotation—once every four weeks, with onboarding and support from senior engineers—to respond to issues affecting the Hosted AI Platform and related security tooling. Join us to help secure and operate the infrastructure behind decentralized trust.
