# Security Engineer

**Ether.fi** · Cayman

Apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/ether.fi/64b9a6e8-9173-4551-a229-d25b28b9d081

## About the role

**About the Role:**

We're looking for a Security Engineer who is equally at home hardening a CI/CD pipeline, reviewing a change to the authentication system on the backend, and triaging a bug bounty submission before lunch.This is a hands-on, builder-first role - not a governance checkbox. You'll own security operations end-to-end, embedded directly into the engineering team and working closely with infrastructure, protocol and platform.

If you treat threat modeling as a design conversation and not a compliance exercise, you're our kind of person.** **You should only apply for this role if you are ready to come into the office every day and work in person with our team!

**What You'll Do:**

**Security Operations**

- Own day-to-day security operations: monitoring, alerting, triage, and response

- Manage and monitor endpoint security via an EDR system - tune detections, investigate alerts, and drive incidents to resolution

- Lead identity lifecycle management, including employee onboarding and off boarding (access provisioning, key rotation, deprovisioning)**Bug Bounty & Vulnerability Management**

- Be the primary owner of our ImmuneFi program - triaging, reproducing, and responding to incoming submissions daily

- Prioritize and track vulnerabilities through to remediation in close collaboration with protocol and engineering teams

- Develop internal tooling and processes to make the bounty workflow faster and more consistent**DevSecOps & Pipeline Hardening**

- Audit and harden CI/CD pipelines - secrets management, supply chain integrity, SAST/DAST integration, build provenance

- Own dependency security: identify and remediate vulnerable packages across repositories (yes, including the npm dependency hell)

- Establish and enforce security standards across the SDLC**Infrastructure Security**

- Partner with the infrastructure team to review and harden cloud environments (access controls, network segmentation, least privilege, logging)

- Contribute to threat modeling for new systems and architectural changes

- Drive implementation of security tooling across the stack**Vendor & External Partner Management**

- Own relationships with external security vendors and service providers — holding them accountable toSLAs, managing scope, and ensuring findings are actioned

- Evaluate and onboard new security tooling as the team and threat landscape evolve**What We're Looking For:**

- 5+ years of experience in software and security engineering, with meaningful time in a DevSecOps or security operations context

- Strong software engineering fundamentals - you're a builder who writes code, not just policy

- Hands-on experience hardening CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or similar) and cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or equivalent)

- Proficiency with endpoint security tooling (CrowdStrike or equivalent EDR)

- Comfort owning identity and access management processes, including onboarding/offboarding workflows

- Strong communication skills - you can write a clear triage report, give direct feedback to a developer and explain risk to a non-technical stakeholder**Nice to Have:**

- You were a traditional software engineer before specializing in security

- Prior experience at a DeFi protocol, crypto exchange, or blockchain infrastructure company

- CTF/security competition background

- Contributions to open-source security tooling**What Success Looks Like:**

In your first 90 days, you've mapped our attack surface, established a daily rhythm on ImmuneFi, and shipped at least a few meaningful PRs across the full stack. Within six months, you've built enough trust in the team that engineers come to you before shipping sensitive PRs, not after.
