Job Description

Who We Are:

Ethena Labs is building the first crypto-based reward-accruing synthetic dollar protocol. Arthur Hayes is a founding advisor and the team has deep experience across traditional finance and crypto engineering from firms such as Cerberus, Wintermute, Flow Traders, Deribit, Paradigm, Aave, Blockdaemon and Kaiko. We are backed by every major exchange and trading entities in the space.

​

What we are Doing:

We are building derivative infrastructure to enable Ethereum to transform into the Internet Bond via delta-neutral derivatives positions, to create the first crypto-native, rewards bearing savings asset: sUSDe.

​

We believe creating a synthetic dollar which is not reliant on existing banking infrastructure is the single most important problem to solve and largest opportunity in crypto today.

USDe will form the first part of a broader ecosystem of products we are building including fixed and floating rate internet bonds and composable repo leveraged markets.

Join us!

​

We are looking for a Senior/Staff Security Engineer to join us on this exciting journey, ensuring the security and resilience of our platform as we continue to grow.

​

The Role

As a Senior/Staff Security Engineer, you will be at the forefront of securing the next generation of decentralized financial technology. You will take ownership of building and maintaining our platform’s security infrastructure, working across both on-chain and off-chain components. Your work will protect our users and ensure the integrity of our systems in the rapidly evolving crypto and DeFi landscape.

​

This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact by contributing to a key part of our platform. You will be involved in every layer of security, from threat modeling and incident response to developing automation tools that streamline our operations. You’ll work closely with our development, DevOps, and product teams, embedding security into the DNA of our products while staying ahead of emerging threats.

​

What You’ll Do

  • Design, develop, and implement security architectures and features for both on-chain and off-chain components of the platform, ensuring defense against vulnerabilities and attacks.
  • Identify and mitigate risks by performing threat modeling, security hardening, and vulnerability assessments across the full tech stack.
  • Lead incident response efforts, acting as the primary point of contact for security incidents and coordinating with internal and external teams to resolve issues.
  • Conduct regular penetration testing and forensic investigations, ensuring identified security weaknesses are addressed swiftly.
  • Develop security tools and automation scripts to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of our security operations.
  • Work closely with development and DevOps teams to integrate security best practices into every stage of the software development lifecycle.
  • Stay on top of emerging security trends, threats, and technologies, contributing innovative solutions to continuously improve our security posture.

​

What We’re Looking For

  • 7+ years of hands-on experience in a security engineering or DevSecOps role, with demonstrated expertise in full-stack software security (back-end, front-end, and DevOps).
  • Proficiency in designing and implementing robust security architectures for cloud-based systems, and strong experience in securing CI/CD pipelines.
  • Experience in incident detection, forensic investigations, and leading security incident response.
  • Strong understanding of security frameworks, principles, and best practices, with a proactive approach to risk management.
  • Ability to effectively communicate security requirements and concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Experience with crypto/web3 technologies, including smart contract audits, is highly desirable.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related field.
  • Industry certifications such as CISSP, OSCP, Sec+, or similar are a plus.

​

Why Ethena Labs?

  • Join a forward-thinking, crypto-native company with a mission to revolutionize decentralized finance.
  • Work alongside a passionate and innovative team that values collaboration and creativity.
  • Enjoy a flexible, remote-friendly work environment with opportunities for growth and learning.

​

If you subscribe to the mission of separating the dollar from the state, then we want to hear from you!

​

We look forward to receiving your application and will be in touch after having a chance to review.
