- Collaborate with developers to promote secure coding practices and resolve vulnerabilities.
- Monitor and respond to security incidents, working closely with incident response teams.
- Stay current with emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and security technologies relevant to FinTech, blockchain, and AI.

- Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and associated security services.
- Deep understanding of AppSec principles, secure SDLC, and DevSecOps methodologies.
- Familiarity with blockchain protocols, smart contracts, and digital asset platforms is highly desirable.
- Experience with security testing tools such as Burp Suite, SonarQube, Checkmarx, or similar.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally in a collaborative team setting.
Location & Work Arrangement:
The security team is headquartered in New York City, and preference will be given to candidates based locally. However, the firm is open to fully remote arrangements for highly qualified individuals who demonstrate exceptional technical depth and alignment with the company's mission. Local candidates will be expected to follow a hybrid schedule, typically 3 days/week onsite at the company's Financial District HQ.
