It is also a world-leading provider of digital asset infrastructure solutions to banks, corporations and private companies.

Tasks

A deeply hands-on, individual-contributor role where you'll raise the security bar of the product itself. You're the security partner engineers want in the room: someone who can open a diff, understand the attack surface, build the automation that enforces the fix, and ship it the same day. Much of that surface is cryptographic (keys, signing, HSMs, and the trust boundary around them), so that's where you'll have the most impact.

Responsibilities

• Own product security for all applicable digital asset products: Taurus-PROTECT, Taurus-CAPITAL, Taurus-EXPLORER and Taurus-NETWORK. Contribute to financial services product security.

  
  



• Contribute to security architecture for HSMs, confidential computing, MPC, and cryptographic systems

  
  



• Perform security reviews of application code, cryptographic workflows, smart contracts, HSM integrations, and enclave-based components

  
  



• Model threats of new features and review architectural designs before release

  
  



• Lead and review penetration tests, reproduce findings, and validate remediation plans

  
  



• Build and own the automation that enforces security guardrails — across CI/CD pipelines, software supply chains, Kubernetes environments, and deployment platforms

  
  



• Pair with product engineering teams to design and ship fixes, not just file findings

  
  



• Review authorization models, privilege management, identity integrations, and operational access controls

  
  



• Support incident response, vulnerability management, and security investigations

  
  



• Support client audits, RFPs, security workshops, and regulatory discussions

  
  



• Translate regulatory and compliance requirements into practical technical controls

  
  



• Monitor security news and trends; identify potential impact on products and ensure timely application of corrective actions

Infrastructure & cloud security:

• Strong Kubernetes and container security experience

Client & communication skills:

• Comfortable engaging security teams, auditors, regulators, enterprise clients, and prospect CISOs


• Able to explain complex security topics clearly and pragmatically

A strong plus

• Fuzzing and secure software testing


• Security compliance and regulatory frameworks (FINMA, DORA, MiCA, ISO 27001, SOC 2, FIPS 140-3)


• Public security research, CVEs, bug bounty experience, or open-source security contributions


• Experience supporting RFPs, security questionnaires, and customer due diligence


• Degree in Computer Science, Security, or equivalent practical experience

Benefits

• An opportunity to work at the intersection of digital assets and finance


• A skilled and experienced team, including world-renowned experts


• A fast-paced learning environment, entrepreneurial spirit and team spirit


• A great moment to join as the company grows and expands
