• Candidates should understand the technical subtleties of security best practices and have the ability to deconstruct and hack smart contracts.
• This is a challenging position hacking, modeling, scanning, auditing, designing and enhancing the security of smart contracts comprehensively.
• A significant part of the work can be done remotely wherever you are; little travel is anticipated (most of the technical team works remotely around the world).
• There's also opportunity to stay ahead of demand and lead and build out this team in case that's also of interest.
• We are looking for exceptionally intellectual, bright and technically driven individuals. We will be addressing challenges that have not been encountered before while borrowing from patterns in previous software architectures.
