Senior Security Engineer - xStocks

What you'll be doing

  • Own security deliverables end to end including coordinating and reviewing smart-contract audits, responding to security questionnaires and due-diligence requests, supporting CISO and compliance initiatives, and managing remediation of findings.
  • Conduct offensive security assessments such as pentesting web apps, APIs, backend services, and on-chain components, and develop tools for repeated testing.
  • Continuously assess security posture by threat modeling new and existing systems, reviewing architecture and key-management flows, and maintaining risk mitigations.
  • Review code changes impacting authentication, cryptography, custody, signing, and fund movement across multiple blockchains.
  • Harden the platform by improving secrets handling, IAM policies, dependency and supply-chain hygiene, and enhancing detection/logging for security events.
  • Secure custody and signing workflows, including transaction signing flows, MPC and HSM integrations, and access control policies.
  • Contribute to product engineering with TypeScript backlog work to stay close to the codebase being defended.
  • Support incident management activities such as detection, triage, response, post-mortem analysis, and implementing lessons learned.

Requirements

  • An engineer first with the ability to write and review production code comfortably (TypeScript and Node.js) and deep understanding of system weaknesses.
  • Strong fundamentals in application and infrastructure security including OWASP vulnerabilities, authentication, authorization, injections, SSRF, supply-chain risks, and secure design; experience in pentesting, vulnerability research, or red teaming.
  • Applied cryptography and blockchain security knowledge covering symmetric and asymmetric primitives, hashing, signatures, key management, and security models of EVM, Solana, and ideally TON or Tron smart contracts.
  • Ownership and ability to independently manage ambiguous security tasks like audits, questionnaires, or incidents through to completion.
  • Clear communication skills to explain risks tailored to engineers, CISOs, and auditors.
  • Strong automation mindset to convert manual findings into tests, alerts, controls, documentation, or platform improvements.
  • Good risk judgment to differentiate theoretical from material issues and communicate severity, likelihood, impact, and remediation trade-offs clearly.

Nice to have

  • Experience commissioning or remediating third-party smart-contract audits.
  • Familiarity with custody and signing infrastructure such as HSMs, MPC, and ForDefi-style providers, and on-chain transaction security.
  • Cloud security expertise in GCP or AWS, including IAM and container/runtime hardening.
  • Experience with detection engineering and security observability tools such as SIEM and log-based detections.
  • Relevant professional certifications like OSCP, OSWE, or GWAPT.
  • Prior work in regulated fintech or tokenization/DeFi environments.

Perks and benefits

  • Work at a cutting-edge company building modern global financial infrastructure advancing open finance.
  • Be part of a diverse, global, and inclusive team that values unique perspectives and talents.
  • Opportunity to work cross-functionally with engineering, security, compliance, and leadership.
