What We’re Looking For • 2–5 years of experience in security engineering, operations, or infrastructure security, ideally across both cloud and crypto-native environments. • Solid understanding of application, network, and blockchain security principles. • Hands-on experience with SIEMs, EDR tools, or threat detection systems. • Familiarity with GCP, AWS, or other production cloud environments, as well as containerized or distributed systems. • Understanding of web3 security concepts such as multisig wallets, smart contract risks, validator security, and key management. • Experience building or operating automated security monitoring and alerting pipelines. • Strong scripting or automation skills (Python, TypeScript, or Go). • Bonus: experience with security audits, compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF), or open-source security tools. About the Role(s) Our portfolio companies are hiring across two main focus areas: Infrastructure-Focused Roles • Secure and monitor blockchain infrastructure, nodes, and validators. • Build and maintain security tooling for on-chain infrastructure, RPC endpoints, and key management systems. • Harden cloud and network environments, implement defense-in-depth for production systems, and manage secrets and access control. • Respond to infrastructure-level threats, analyze incidents, and improve detection coverage. Application-Focused Roles • Partner with smart contract and product teams to secure DeFi, wallet, or protocol codebases. • Contribute to application-level threat modeling, auditing, and secure development practices. • Develop internal tooling for vulnerability scanning, dependency management, and transaction monitoring. • Work with on-chain analytics and incident response for protocol or user-level exploits. • Even if you don’t match every point but are passionate about security in crypto, we encourage you to apply. Process • We’ll confidentially match you with portfolio companies aligned with your background, skill set, and interests. • If mutual interest exists, we’ll facilitate a warm introduction. • If there isn’t a match today, we’ll keep you top of mind for future opportunities. Our portfolio companies are globally distributed, hiring for remote, hybrid, and in-person roles. They’re building across the full crypto ecosystem—including DeFi, CeFi, infrastructure, L1s and L2s, creator/consumer apps, ZK, and Crypto x AI. All candidate submissions are strictly confidential.
