GitLab is hiring a
Cryptocurrency Security Engineer

Summary

Join Unit 410, an experienced team of security, infrastructure, and cryptocurrency engineers, to empower the largest stakeholders to use their crypto in secure and novel ways. As a member of our team, you will work on building institutional-grade systems and solutions for secure network participation, design wallets to interact with new cryptocurrency protocols, collaborate with teams to design and harden new systems, understand and instrument off and on-chain environments, and evaluate the security of systems along with supporting open source dependencies.

Requirements

• Experience working with production environments of any scale
• Excited to explore new cryptocurrency networks at a very low level (specifications, implementation, and attack vectors)
• Demonstrated ability to prioritize the right projects and ship to production

Responsibilities

• Work with our engineers to understand security risks and design wallets to interact with new cryptocurrency protocols
• Collaborate with our teams to design and harden new systems. Using cloud, online/hardware, and offline tooling as appropriate, this includes the full lifecycle including code signing, deployment and access controls
• Understand, instrument, and automatically generating high-signal alerts for off and on-chain environments to provide early indicators of compromise. Plan and simulate responses to these alerts to minimize the likelihood of a production incident
• Using internal and external capabilities as appropriate, evaluate the security of systems along with supporting open source dependencies. Where appropriate, mitigate risks directly or prioritize with our engineering teams to fix, surfacing any remaining security risks
