About The Role
When Mintlayer reaches institutional scale, the security of the protocol will be what allows sovereign wealth funds and regulated asset managers to trust it with real capital.
The Blockchain Security Lead builds and maintains that trust from the inside: internal audits, external audit firms, the bug bounty program, and the security standards every major release must meet.
We are looking for someone who has published CVEs, audited Rust-based blockchain code, and understands that finding a critical vulnerability before an attacker does is one of the most valuable contributions an engineer can make.
What You Will Own
- Own protocol-level security across Mintlayer core, ZK Thunder, DEX, and Fast Bridge
- Lead internal security audits on all major protocol changes before mainnet deployment
- Manage relationships with external audit firms: scope definition, timeline management, and remediation
- Design and operate the Mintlayer bug bounty program
- Define security review gates for all major releases
- Publish security advisories and maintain the protocol's public security disclosure history
- Build and maintain the threat model for the full Mintlayer protocol stack
What You Bring
- 5+ years blockchain security, smart contract auditing, or protocol security research
- Experience auditing Rust-based blockchain code
- CVE publication or public audit track record preferred
- Fluent in attack vectors: re-entrancy, front-running, bridge exploits, consensus attacks
Benefits
- Health & Prevention: Comprehensive, high-tier medical insurance with a focus on preventative medicine, annual executive health screenings, and diagnostic check-ups.
- Fitness & Wellness Programs: Monthly fitness allowances for premier gyms and studios, plus internal wellness initiatives including yoga, ergonomics workshops, and stress management.
- Competitive Compensation: Salary paid in your choice of fiat, Bitcoin, or stablecoins. ML token allocation and vesting for senior roles.
- Relocation Support: Full assistance with UAE residency visas and relocation to Abu Dhabi for on-site roles. We handle the paperwork.
- Flexible Working: Structured flexibility across on-site, hybrid, and fully remote roles. Core overlap hours respected across time zones.
- Global Team Meetups: Periodic gatherings with the full team around the world. The remote team is never remote from the culture.
