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.
