Responsibilities:
  • Design and build highly secure, resilient infrastructure supporting cryptocurrency and tokenized asset custody solutions.
  • Partner with cryptographers and security specialists to implement cryptographic protocols and security designs in production systems.
  • Develop secure, production-grade software with a strong emphasis on Go (Golang).
  • Work with Trusted Execution Environments such as AWS Nitro Enclaves or Intel SGX, including implementation of remote attestation.
  • Implement and integrate cryptographic libraries and frameworks, including OpenSSL and MPC-related technologies.
  • Work with hardware-backed security technologies such as TEEs and Hardware Security Modules (HSMs).
  • Participate in threat modeling to identify and mitigate attack vectors, including risks associated with MPC communication, malicious clients, compromised infrastructure, and network-based attacks.
  • Conduct security-focused code reviews and design tests to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses in security-sensitive software.
  • Apply cryptographic protocols such as key exchange and digital signature schemes within production applications.
  • Integrate with blockchain nodes and APIs to support transaction construction, signing, and broadcasting across multiple networks.
  • Work with blockchain transaction formats, including Bitcoin UTXOs and Ethereum transaction encoding and formats.
  • Design secure mechanisms for storing sensitive information such as encrypted key shares, credentials, and audit logs.
