About The Role
- The infrastructure behind a live blockchain protocol is unlike other environments. You are managing key material that controls real economic value, CI/CD pipelines deploying to production nodes, and API surfaces that institutional clients rely on. The Cybersecurity Engineer keeps all of that secure.
- If you have worked in crypto native environments before — real key management, HSMs, hardware wallets, zero trust infrastructure — you will find this role immediately meaningful.
What You Will Own
- Implement and maintain security controls across CI/CD pipelines, node infrastructure, API surfaces, and employee systems
- Own the key management architecture for protocol nodes, treasury accounts, and signing keys
- Build and enforce zero trust network access policies across the distributed team
- Conduct regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing of internal infrastructure
- Develop and maintain the incident response playbook
- Monitor cloud infrastructure for anomalous access patterns
- Train the team on security hygiene appropriate to a crypto native environment
What You Bring
- 3+ years cybersecurity, infrastructure security, or DevSecOps
- Experience in crypto native environments: key management, hardware wallets, HSMs
- Familiarity with cloud security (AWS or GCP) and zero trust architectures
- Security certifications such as CISSP, CEH, or OSCP are a plus
Benefits
- Health & Prevention: Comprehensive, high tier medical insurance with a focus on preventative medicine, annual executive health screenings, and diagnostic check ups.
- Fitness & Wellness Programs: Monthly fitness allowances for premier gyms and studios, plus internal wellness initiatives including yoga, ergonomics workshops, and stress management.
- Competitive Compensation: Salary paid in your choice of fiat, Bitcoin, or stablecoins. ML token allocation and vesting for senior roles.
- Relocation Support: Full assistance with UAE residency visas and relocation to Abu Dhabi for on site roles. We handle the paperwork.
- Flexible Working: Structured flexibility across on site, hybrid, and fully remote roles. Core overlap hours respected across time zones.
- Global Team Meetups: Periodic gatherings with the full team around the world. The remote team is never remote from the culture.
