Required Qualifications:
The Blockchain Engineer - Onchain Security plays a vital role in our organization by ensuring the security and integrity of our onchain systems through the implementation and maintenance of cutting-edge blockchain technologies. This role is crucial in maintaining the trust and reliability of our blockchain-based applications and platforms.
- Implement software applications that may include key storage, signing, encryption, code attestation, or secure boot.
- Design, deploy, and maintain security solutions supporting maintenance of digital assets.
- Work closely with software security engineers to develop the capabilities of the existing signing security infrastructure with a goal of security and scalability.
- Integrate the use of hardware security mechanisms into the software infrastructure.
- Work with hardware security mechanisms of interest include a trusted platform module (TPM) and/or hardware security modules (HSMs), and/or other similar hardware key storage mechanisms.
- Develop tools that integrate security into systems and process.
- Participate in disaster recovery (DR) scenarios to validate operability of physical and digital material.
- Hands-on expertise in the development of at least one area of software security that includes implementing software in any of the following: operating systems, kernel development, kernel modules, embedded security software, network security engineering, cryptographic protocols, or cryptographic hardware (PKCS#11, FIPS 201-1 PIV, smartcards, TPMs, HSMs, or TEEs).
- Hands-on expertise in any one of the following areas: hardware security modules& or& discrete trusted platform modules or firmware trusted platform modules& or& secure enclaves.
- Experience in network engineering and security.
- Experience in researching and addressing complex business topics around TPMs, HSMs, TEEs, secure build infrastructure, and applied cryptography. Candidates without a strong understanding in one of these areas may still be a strong candidate if this is offset by a strong background in a systems security area (e.g., operating systems, embedded systems security, firmware security, network security engineering).
- Strong understanding of systems/network security, secure protocol design, secure build and supply chain management, encryption, authentication, key management and applied cryptography.
- Demonstrated ability to convert theoretical security concepts into production.
- Proficiency in a common scripting language including but not limited to Python, Ruby, etc.
- Able to troubleshoot and debug issues, and demonstrate a methodical approach to root cause analysis.
- Experience working with engineering teams, teaching, training, and mentoring on how to implement best-practice technical solutions.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; attentive to details.
Preferred Qualifications:
- 5 years experience in software engineering.
- 2 years experience with secure software that makes use of a trusted platform module (TPM), hardware security module (HSM), trusted execution environment (TEE), smartcard, and/or other similar hardware key storage mechanism.
- Ability to read and write code written in Python, Java, Scala, C/C , and Golang.
- Knowledge of hardware security, verified/secure boot, tamper resistance, side-channel attacks, anti-cloning, and PUFs.
- Solid understanding of Product Management and Product Ownership, Agile practices and methodologies.
