Job description

Senior Smart Contract Security Researcher

You will map who really controls a protocol: which keys can move, freeze, or mint funds, and how exposed that leaves the people who hold the assets. Your analysis becomes the rating institutions read before they allocate.

What you'll do
  • Trace every privileged function in a protocol and attribute the on-chain power behind it.
  • Turn raw permission data into clear, comparable security and relevance scores.
  • Back-test the methodology against real exploits and tighten it where it misses.
  • Write the plain-language verdicts that sit on top of each evaluation.
What we're looking for
  • Deep familiarity with EVM smart contracts and common proxy, access-control, and upgrade patterns.
  • A track record of reading unfamiliar contracts and explaining how they can fail.
  • Comfort with on-chain data tooling and reproducible, evidence-backed analysis.
  • Clear writing: you can state a risk in one sentence and prove it in the next.
Nice to have
  • Audit, security research, or protocol engineering experience.
  • Published exploit analyses or contributions to security tooling.
Compensation

The salary range for this role is $185K to $245K, based on experience, plus equity and benefits. The range is shown up front so you know where you stand before the first call.
