You'll apply established incident response playbooks while contributing improvements based on your experience. Your skills in threat detection will enable you to identify suspicious patterns, correlate security events, and conduct first and second-level investigations. You'll utilize our SOAR platform to manage response actions and work with machine learning detection systems to identify anomalies. You'll also help implement LLM integrations to enhance security operations efficiency. With a solid foundation in security principles, you'll expand your expertise in blockchain security and contribute to the team's threat intelligence and detection capabilities.
Note: As Web3 security is an emerging discipline, we strongly encourage candidates with exceptional traditional security backgrounds to apply—we value your expertise and will provide dedicated training and mentorship to build your web3 security capabilities.

Solid understanding of network protocols and common vulnerabilities
Basic scripting abilities (Python, Bash, PowerShell) for security task automation
Familiarity with threat intelligence concepts and practical application
Strong analytical skills and attention to detail
Excellent communication abilities and team collaboration skills
Nice to have:
Security certifications (e.g., Security+, SSCP, CySA+, TryHackMe SOC Level 2 Path)
Experience with blockchain technology or cryptocurrency security
