Job Description
The Opportunity
- We’re hiring a Blockchain Security Engineer across applications, network architecture, and infrastructure.
About the Role
- Being a Blockchain Security Engineer involves optimizing blockchain data structures, writing crypto algorithms, working with teammates on new designs and optimizations, and collaborating with junior and senior teammates on implementation and code review.
