• Develop hardening and mitigation plans against known protocol-level vulnerabilities and emerging risks.
• Contribute to the security-driven re-architecture of existing systems, including defence-in-depth for critical modules and clear trust boundaries.
• Write, debug, and test code for secure, high-performance systems under the guidance of senior engineers.
• Track emerging blockchain attack techniques and defences, and turn research into shippable improvements.
• Participate in security audits of internal systems and open-source dependencies, and drive remediation.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, document technical work, and share knowledge through design docs, code reviews, and tech talks.

• Strong command of at least one of Java, Go, Rust, or C++. Python is a bonus.
• Solid foundation in data structures, algorithms, distributed systems, and concurrency.
• Familiarity with threat modelling, secure coding, penetration testing, and supply-chain security.
• A "zero trust" security mindset, with the ability to turn ambiguous requirements into clear technical designs.
• Strong analytical skills, eager to learn, and comfortable in a fast-paced environment.
• Good communication and teamwork skills, and able to communicate in both English and Mandarin.
