To create foundational infrastructure for Web 3.0.
Role
Who you are
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience with hands-on production engineering, containerization, orchestration, logging, and monitoring
- Experience with deploying on and with baremetal, kubernetes, docker
- Experience with public cloud platforms such as AWS and GCP
- Experience developing and deploying automated monitoring systems
- Fluency in a systems programming language such as Rust (used extensively at Mysten Labs), or Go
- Fluency in at least one higher-level language (e.g. Python, Shell Scripting)
Desirable
- Experience working in environments with ISO27001 and/or SOC2 Type II certification / audits
What the job involves
- Mysten Labs believes that decentralized and open protocols are the bedrock of the internet of value. This is why at Mysten Labs, we are creating foundational infrastructure to accelerate the adoption of decentralized protocols based on blockchain technologies
- Security engineers own the operational and software security of the Sui blockchain, wallet, Move language, and other Mysten systems
- Security engineers support and work closely with the engineers working on the sensitive components of these systems. In addition, they are the key points of contact for audit engagements and bug bounty reports
- We are hiring security engineers now as we expand the ecosystem and production services. We have a strong team in protocol security, but we need experts in operational and software security who can help us navigate the challenges of running world class infrastructure
- Review, monitor and improve/harden configuration, development, build/ci, and deployment practices and policies used by Mysten Labs engineers products
- Deploy, monitor, and manage security-related services
- Use your knowledge of technical systems, such as key management systems and distributed systems to respond to security/privacy incidents and other severe issues
- Monitor and manage the overall supply chain used by Mysten Labs products and infrastructure, including third-party vendors and open-source dependencies, ensuring that potential compromises are detected and remediated
- Work with cross functional teams to prioritize security engineering efforts
- Recommend and help scale adoption of processes to enhance security of Mysten Labs products and infrastructure
- Provide guidance and technical direction to full time employees or contingent workers to ensure that vulnerabilities are remediated properly
Our take
Mysten Labs was created with the ambition to build a blockchain comparable to Ethereum or Solanan - but with even greater capabilities. That means tackling pain points currently found in blockchain technology, like scaling transactions and speed to meet growing demand.
To do this, Mysten is building foundational infrastructure for Web 3.0 which supports the accelerated development and adoption of decentralized services. The startup is determined to build a platform that finally lets Web 3.0 developers focus on UI, without compromising on security.
The company has focussed on expanding partnerships with existing networks such as Ethos and Orange Comet Partners, who have integrated Mysten technology, as well as open protocols based on Mysten-designed components. Ensuring that it assigns developer and community outreach resources in the right places will be crucial to building a sustainable business in this relatively young space.
