Information Security IV - C/C++, Go, or Rust
About The Position
• 2 Security Engineers • Digital assets wallet project • Modifying cryptographic protocols, good sense of cyber security/fed monitoring • Experience on digital assets or cyber security teams is highly preferred • Any experience with C/C++, Go, or Rust is a plus but open to other languages • Manager is building a greenfield team from scratch… looking for someone to solution and bring ideas to the table • Master’s or PhD in Mathematics (or similar) is a plus • Preference is to convert to FTE if possible • Ideal candidate will work in the 240G office 4+ days per week but also open to Pittsburgh... Should have expertise in secure software development and cryptography engineering. Proficient in secure coding practices, especially in C/C++, Go, or Rust Should know how to use or audit cryptographic libraries (OpenSSL, or MPC-specific libraries) and be familiar with hardware security features (like Intel SGX and HSMs). Must be comfortable working with MPC or cryptographic frameworks typically used to build crypto custody solution. Strong threat modeling skills are required to anticipate and mitigate potential attack vectors (such as man-in-the-middle during the MPC rounds, malicious client apps, etc.). Experience with cryptographic protocols (e.g., having implemented or audited a key exchange or signature scheme) and knowledge of common pitfalls (like poor random number generation or improper error handling leaking information) are essential. Should have experience integrating with blockchain nodes/APIs Understanding of blockchain transaction formats (Bitcoin UTXOs, Ethereum RLP, etc.) and be able to parse and create transactions for signing. Knowledge of secure storage and databases is needed. Familiarity with cloud security (to avoid misconfigurations) and containerization can be beneficial for deployment. Experience working with Trusted execution environment like Intel SGX including remote attestation.
