 * Working knowledge of cryptocurrency and blockchain security: custody and signing flows, wallet and key-management design, on-chain integrations, and misuse patterns specific to digital-asset movement (transfer validation, replay, signature handling, bridge/staking integrations).
 * Familiarity with Linux systems, intrusion detection, and common log formats.

 * Comfort collaborating and documenting work asynchronously using tools like Slack, GitHub, and JIRA.

This position is restricted to s or lawful permanent residents due to legal requirements.
