Desirable

• You’ll be the hands-on security engineer embedded with the Institutional Trading and Financial Operations (FinOps) team
• Your focus is the secure operation of off-chain trading processes and infrastructure that empowers our institutional business: integrations, signing flows, key custody interfaces, middle-office workflows, order routing and settle pipelines that handle significant capital
• You will support risk assessments, operating controls, automation to detect operational anomalies and remediation coordination
• This is a high-visibility role where you will focus on operational security engineering - ensuring that the tools and processes our traders use are resilient against both external threats and internal errors

• Act as the primary security liaison for Senior Management and third-party vendors. You will translate complex technical gaps into actionable business risk summaries, drive vendor evaluations for core security infrastructure, and manage the project lifecycle for high-impact posture uplifts
• Implement and maintain monitoring for FinOps-specific security signals such as abnormal order patterns, signature misuse, unusual settlements. You will integrate these signals into our SIEM/SOAR for real-time response
• Support secrets and key-management hygiene. You will ensure app/service keys are stored in KMS/Vault, scoped to least privilege and rotated automatically to prevent credential leakage
• Assist product security in triage of SAST/SCA findings for FinOps-related repositories. You will help implement CI checks and remediation playbooks
• Participate in incident exercises, post-incident reviews and remediation tracking for trading incidents
• Document controls and produce concise risk summaries for FinOps leads and the Security
