This position offers a hybrid work model, fostering collaboration within the office while providing flexibility.
Responsibilities:
Perform comprehensive security audits of smart contracts written in languages such as Solidity, Vyper, or Rust for various blockchain platforms (e.g., Ethereum, Solana, Binance Smart Chain). Analyze blockchain protocols and decentralized applications for vulnerabilities, including reentrancy attacks, integer overflows, denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerabilities, and logical flaws. Assess the security of tokenomics models and associated economic risks. Review and test cryptographic implementations within blockchain systems. Develop and execute test cases and methodologies to validate security controls and identify potential weaknesses. Utilize static and dynamic analysis tools, as well as manual code review techniques, to uncover vulnerabilities. Provide detailed, actionable reports to clients outlining identified risks, vulnerabilities, and recommended remediation strategies. Stay current with the latest attack vectors, emerging threats, and best practices in blockchain security and smart contract development. Collaborate with development teams to ensure security findings are clearly understood and effectively addressed.

In-depth knowledge of blockchain technology, distributed ledger systems, and common consensus algorithms. Proficiency in smart contract development languages (e.g., Solidity) and a strong understanding of common smart contract vulnerabilities and exploit techniques. Experience with security auditing tools, static analysis frameworks (e.g., MythX, Slither), and dynamic analysis techniques. Familiarity with various blockchain platforms and their respective ecosystems (e.g., EVM-compatible chains, Layer 1 and Layer 2 solutions). Strong understanding of cryptography and its application in blockchain security. Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills. Exceptional report-writing and communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate complex technical findings to both technical and non-technical audiences. Experience with incident response and digital forensics is a plus. Self-motivated with the ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team in a hybrid environment.
