About the Role: Parity is one of the world's most experienced companies building the core infrastructure behind blockchain. We are looking for a Security Engineer to protect the Polkadot ecosystem by designing secure software, auditing code, and building cutting-edge ML tools. You will go beyond traditional application security to write secure Rust code and leverage machine learning to enhance security across our Web3 ecosystem.

What You'll Do

• Write and optimize Rust code to build security-critical components and tools.
• Perform deep manual and automated code reviews to identify and mitigate security vulnerabilities.
• Design and implement machine learning models for automated security analysis, anomaly detection, and threat mitigation.
• Manage bug bounty submissions, triage security reports, and collaborate with ethical hackers.
• Work with engineering teams to integrate security best practices into the software development lifecycle.

What You Bring

• Experience with secure coding practices and memory safety concepts.
• Background in code auditing, vulnerability analysis, or exploit development.
• Knowledge of machine learning techniques applied to security (e.g., anomaly detection, fuzzing).
• Familiarity with cryptographic principles, blockchain security, or decentralized systems.
• Strong problem-solving skills and an offensive security mindset.

Benefits

• Opportunity to shape the security landscape of the next generation of decentralized applications and protocols.
• Work remotely and flexibly with a global team of some of the brightest minds in the Web3 space.
