We are looking for engineers who are extremely curious, think critically, and have the drive to learn and discover. We welcome experienced hires, but also fresh or soon-to-be graduates with high potential and an interest in blockchain and cybersecurity.

As nurturing talent is our business model, we put employees in the center of all decisions. We are a flat organization, and happiness at work is one of our biggest priorities. Our employees benefit from competitive pay and a very advantageous profit-sharing system.

A ChainSecurity Auditor will review the most complex blockchain projects to find vulnerabilities which no-one else can. By using state of the art tools, expert knowledge and a deep understanding of the fundamentals, we secure projects handling billions, often forming the foundation in the new paradigm of an open financial system.

Your Responsibilities

    * Work directly with the developers of the most successful teams in the blockchain industry to audit their code and secure their products
    * Contribute to our security tools and create new ones in collaboration with our internal research team
    * Conduct security research and publish your findings

    * Strong background in software engineering, focused on security relevant areas like formal verification, white box vulnerability scanning and most importantly being able to reason about complex code
    * Experience with penetration testing, vulnerability scanning, threat modeling or similar is a plus
    * Basic knowledge of cryptography
    * Proficiency with Linux and Git
    * Good written communication skills

We're a VC-funded startup building an automation platform for Infrastructure-as-Code, adding a Policy-as-Code layer above it, in order to make IaC usable in bigger companies, where you have to take care of state consistency, selective permissions, a usable git flow, etc.

On the backend we're using 100% Go with AWS primitives. We're looking for backend developers who like doing DevOps'y stuff sometimes (because in a way it's the spirit of our company), or have experience with the cloud native ecosystem. Ideally you'd have experience working with an IaC tool, i.e. Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible, CloudFormation, or SaltStack.

Overall we have a deeply technical product, trying to build something customers love to use, and already have a lot of happy and satisfied clients.

We promise interesting work, the ability to open source parts of the project which don't give us a business advantage, as well as sane working hours.

We've also got investment days on Fridays, when you can work on anything you want, as long as it could possibly benefit Spacelift in some way.

If that sounds like fun to you, apply at https://spacelift.jobs.personio.com/job/446363?display=en or email me at kubam at spacelift dot io!
