Mission

To secure the next generation of the web

For web3 to get into the hands of mainstream users, there cannot be exploits that steal millions of dollars in a single atomic transaction. The current exploit detection and response solutions are not sufficient to keep billions of dollars secure. We believe a combination of research-based and data-driven detection solutions and a novel response solution will leapfrog the industry forward in the battle against exploiters.

  • Help shape the culture of the founding engineering team

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience writing smart contracts for reputable protocols
  • Experience in Solidity and deep understanding of modern web3 technologies
  • Ability to think through edge cases and identify architectural issues
  • Security oriented mindset, thinking both as an attacker and defender
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work well in a team.
