DevSecOps & Secure Development

• Design and implement DevSecOps frameworks integrating security controls directly into CI/CD pipelines.
• Implement automated security testing, including SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, and infrastructure scanning.
• Secure the software supply chain, including artifact signing, SBOM generation, container scanning, and integrity validation.
• Establish secure coding standards and practices across engineering teams.
• Blockchain Infrastructure Security
• Architect security for blockchain nodes, validators, and distributed network infrastructure.
• Implement secure key management systems, including HSM-based signing and validator protection.
• Design controls to protect consensus mechanisms, node infrastructure, and smart contract interaction layers.
• Lead smart contract and protocol-level security reviews in collaboration with blockchain engineers.

Agentic AI & AI Workload Security

• Design security controls for AI agents, autonomous workflows, and multi-agent systems.
• Protect against prompt injection, model manipulation, agent privilege escalation, and tool misuse.
• Implement safeguards for model integrity, inference security, and AI system trust boundaries.
• Define secure architecture for AI pipelines, training environments, and model deployment infrastructure.

Cloud & Kubernetes Security

• Design and implement cloud-native security architecture across AWS infrastructure.
• Secure Kubernetes clusters, including workload isolation, pod security policies, runtime protection, and network segmentation.
• Implement zero-trust architecture, identity-based access controls, and secrets management.
• Enforce least-privilege IAM policies across cloud and internal systems.

Monitoring, Threat Detection & Incident Response

• Implement security monitoring frameworks for blockchain, AI, and cloud infrastructure.
• Build dashboards and alerting systems using Prometheus, Grafana, and security monitoring tools.
• Develop and maintain incident response playbooks for blockchain attacks, AI misuse, and infrastructure breaches.
• Conduct regular threat modeling, penetration testing, and security assessments.

Cross-Team Security Leadership

• Work closely with AI engineers, blockchain architects, DevOps teams, and product leadership to embed security throughout the platform lifecycle.
• Provide guidance on security architecture for new product features and AI capabilities.

Basic Qualifications: We are seeking a senior security professional with strong DevSecOps experience and expertise in securing modern distributed systems.

Required experience:

• 8+ years of experience in cybersecurity
• 3+ years in security architecture or DevSecOps leadership roles

Technical expertise:

• Strong experience implementing DevSecOps practices and secure CI/CD pipelines
• Deep knowledge of cloud security (AWS preferred) including IAM, audit logging, and infrastructure security
• Experience securing blockchain infrastructure, including validator nodes, key management, and decentralized architectures
• Understanding of cryptography, PKI, distributed trust models, and blockchain security principles
• Expertise in Kubernetes and container security
• Experience with software supply chain security and artifact integrity
• Familiarity with AI/ML system security, including model integrity and inference environments
• Understanding of AI/LLM security risks, including prompt injection and agent misuse
• Proficiency in automation and scripting using Python, Go, or Rust

Educational Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or Information Security.
• Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CKA/CKS, AWS Security Specialty, DevSecOPs certifications are a strong plus.
