  • Collaborate with the SRE and engineering teams to integrate security into CI/CD pipelines, deployment workflows, and cloud-native architectures.
  • Build automated tooling and services to enforce secure configurations, detect misconfigurations, and support continuous compliance.
  • Assist in threat modeling, design reviews, and architectural assessments for new and existing systems.
  • Contribute to internal security documentation, best practices, and developer guidance.
  • Participate in security incident response when engineering expertise or automation support is needed., You may contact our Data Protection Officer by email at dpo@blockchain.com. Your personal data will be processed for the purposes of managing Controller's recruitment related activities, which include setting up and conducting interviews and tests for applicants, evaluating and assessing the results thereto, and as is otherwise needed in the recruitment and hiring processes. Such processing is legally permissible under Art. 6(1)(f) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation) as necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Controller, which are the solicitation, evaluation, and selection of applicants for employment.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience in security engineering, platform security, or DevSecOps roles.
  • Hands-on experience implementing security controls and automation within cloud environments, GCP or AWS are preferred.
  • Proficiency in modern scripting, automation and infrastructure as code e.g. Python, Bash, Go, Terraform, or similar.
  • Ability to collaborate closely with engineering teams and translate security requirements into practical, scalable solutions.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a bias toward automation over manual workflows.
  • Curiosity, ownership, and a drive to continuously improve the security posture of complex systems.
  • Familiarity with some of the following: Cloudflare (DDoS protection, WAF), OSS SIEM tools (Splunk, Elastic, etc), Incident management platforms (e.g. Incident.io, PagerDuty)
