- AI-Augmented Development: Integrate the latest AI tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, LLM-based analysis) into your workflow to increase engineering velocity and security coverage.
- Product Ownership: Partner with product teams to ensure security features provide a seamless user experience without compromising safety.
What You’ll Bring
- Cloud & Web Expertise: Extensive experience building and deploying production-grade applications on major cloud providers (AWS/GCP/Azure).
- Full-Stack Proficiency: Strong background in modern web development frameworks and a deep understanding of web security protocols.
- Modern Tooling: High proficiency with AI-assisted coding and automated testing tools. You see AI as a core component of the modern development lifecycle.
- Product Orientation: Ability to move beyond "code-to-spec" and contribute to the product roadmap based on technical feasibility and user impact.
- [Optional] DeFi Knowledge: Experience with, or a strong technical interest in, the security challenges unique to DeFi and blockchain ecosystems.
Why This Team?
- High Stakes: You are building the primary defense for users' assets in both traditional and decentralized systems.
