Staff Security Engineer (Blockchain)
Ondo FinanceFull Time
Expert & Leadership (9+ years)
The candidate should possess over 5 years of experience in security engineering, offensive security, or protocol-level system audits, with strong experience in security engineering for cloud-native or blockchain-based systems. A solid understanding of offensive security, including vulnerability discovery, fuzzing, static/dynamic analysis, and hands-on experience securing distributed infrastructure like Linux, containers, Kubernetes, and cloud networks is required. Familiarity with blockchain architectures such as Cosmos SDK, Tendermint, IBC, EVM, CosmWasm, or cross-chain bridges is also necessary. Proficiency in Go or Rust, or Solidity/CosmWasm is a plus, as is comfort in writing PoCs, threat models, or simple fuzzers. The ideal candidate is self-driven, curious, motivated, and may have experience with Cosmos SDK, IBC, Injective chain tooling, or involvement in open-source security research, bug bounties, or CTFs.
The Security Engineer will perform regular security reviews, penetration tests, and code audits across the blockchain ecosystem and core infrastructure, including chain modules, smart contracts, validator infrastructure, and supporting services. Responsibilities include hunting for new vulnerabilities through fuzzing, adversarial testing, and exploit development at protocol, network, and application layers. The role involves developing internal tools for detecting misconfigurations and suspicious activity, analyzing emerging threats in other blockchains, and assessing Injective's exposure. Managing vulnerability scanning pipelines, patch management, and incident response processes, as well as auditing internal systems and services for best practice alignment, are key duties. The engineer will collaborate with developers and auditors on security fixes, contribute to the bug bounty program, and help define and enforce internal security policies and tooling.
