Blockchain Security Manager Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Who we are looking for

We are seeking a highly technical and handsonSecurity Guardian,Vice Presidentto serve as a strategic security guardian to engineering, platform, and business teams. This role sits in the first line of defense and is responsible for proactively reducing technical security risk through deep engagement with product teams, rigorous architecture and application reviews, and the design and validation of embedded security controls across cloud and distributed environments.

Why this role is important to us

The ideal candidate is anexperienced security architect and practitionerwho thrives working directly with engineers, thinks like an attacker, and can translate complex security principles into actionable engineering decisions. This person brings strong expertise across multiple advanced security domains and operates as both a technical advisor and a strategic influencer.

What you will be responsible for

• Conduct hands-on security assessments at the application, platform, and system levels using threat modeling, architecture review, and vulnerability analysis to identify design flaws, cloud misconfigurations, insecure dependencies, and agent or API abuse scenarios.
• Design and recommend concrete security controls that are embedded directly into system and application architectures, including secure identity and access design, cryptographic protections, network isolation, runtime enforcement, and secure defaults across cloud and distributed environments.
• Own and actively drive down technical security risk by continuously engaging with engineering and platform teams, validating that security controls are correctly implemented, effective in production, and aligned with real-world threat models rather than static risk registers.
• Partner closely with engineering teams as an embedded product security expert, influencing design decisions early, reviewing architecture and code paths, and helping teams build secure systems by default rather than retrofitting controls.
• Provide technically grounded security guidance to senior leadership, translating complex security tradeoffs into clear engineering decisions and recommending concrete mitigation strategies based on architecture, cloud primitives, cryptographic design, and secure software delivery practices.
• Demonstrate deep, hands-on expertise in at least three advanced security domains, such as product security, smart contract and blockchain security, multi-cloud security, threat modeling, secure architecture and design, Agentic AI security, and software supply-chain security.
• Bring strong technical depth across network security, product and platform security, data protection and cryptography, and offensive security techniques, using attacker-mindset analysis to proactively identify and remediate weaknesses before exploitation.
• Operate effectively within agile engineering environments, embedding security into iterative delivery through DevSecOps and Shift-Left principles, automated security testing, secure CI/CD pipelines, and rapid, evidence-based decision-making.
• Demonstrate strong written and oral communication skills, effectively engaging with engineers, architects, and platform teams on deep technical security topics while clearly articulating security risks, design tradeoffs, and remediation strategies to business and executive stakeholders in a concise, actionable manner.

• AWS or Azure Cloud Security certification is highly valued.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related technical field.
• Professional certifications such as Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), Certified Information Security Manager (CISM), and GIAC are preferred.
• Proven experience collaborating with engineering teams in an embedded security engagement model.
