Job summary

SBL Nova is seeking a security-focused engineer to lead end-to-end audits of on-chain contracts and infrastructure. You will review tokenized collateral, settlement rails, and custody-related systems, and build tooling to monitor deployed contracts.

With 5+ years in software, 2+ years in smart contract security, you will translate risk into actionable audit findings for engineering and compliance, and work remotely across the US.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with 2+ years focused specifically on smart contract security or auditing.
• Deep understanding of Solidity and the EVM, including gas mechanics, storage layout, and bytecode-level behavior
• Proven track record identifying vulnerabilities such as reentrancy, integer overflow/underflow, access control flaws, oracle manipulation, and front-running/MEV risks
• Hands-on experience with static/dynamic analysis and testing tools (e.g. Slither, Mythril, Echidna, Foundry, Hardhat)
• Ability to write clear, actionable audit reports that both engineers and non-technical stakeholders can act on
• Strong understanding of token standards (ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155) and common DeFi primitives (AMMs, lending pools, bridges, vaults)
• Comfortable working independently and owning security review from scoping through remediation verification

Responsibilities

• Perform end-to-end security audits of internal smart contracts and third-party protocols we integrate with, from threat modeling through remediation sign-off
• Review architecture and code for tokenized collateral, on-chain settlement, and custody-adjacent smart contract systems before they reach production
• Build and maintain internal tooling, checklists, and automated test suites to continuously monitor deployed contracts
• Translate on-chain risk (key custody, validator behavior, token existence/ownership, contract dependencies) into audit-ready findings our compliance and engineering teams can act on
• Partner with engineering to design secure-by-default smart contract patterns and review pull requests touching on-chain logic
• Stay current on emerging attack vectors, exploits, and best practices across the EVM and adjacent ecosystems, and brief the team on relevant findings
• Support incident response and post-mortems in the rare event a vulnerability is identified in production
• Competitive salary ($150K-210K) plus meaningful equity participation in a growth-stage fintech company
• 100% remote within the US - work from anywhere, no relocation required
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with 401(k) match
• Unlimited PTO and a genuine no-burnout culture - we ship fast but don't expect nights and weekends
• Annual learning & conference budget (ETHGlobal, DEF CON, audit certifications, etc.)
• Latest hardware of your choice plus a home office stipend
• Direct impact: your findings gate what ships into a platform monitoring billions in collateral
• Flat, low-bureaucracy team - you'll work directly with founders and senior engineering, not layers of process
