Role

Who you are

Ability to lead a team of skilled DevSecOps professionals, you should have experience of leading and growing a team.
Comfortable with a Linux-based tech stack (SSH, VPNs, firewalls, IDS/IPS)
Experience with Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, Gitlab, Gitlab CI, ArgoCD
Good knowledge of Hashicorp Vault
Experience with various cloud platforms including Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud
We’d love it if you had an understanding of blockchain tech and associated tooling (wallets, keys, RPC nodes and indexers etc.)

What the job involves

Advising Infra Engineering on security topics and supervising their work (and infrastructure-as-a-code codebases) from the security standpoint — maintaining things practical using some form of a risk-based approach.
Organising and performing penetration testing of our infrastructure, and collaborating with external parties on those tests.
Picking tools, methods and approaches to maintain and improve the security stance of the company. (And we have a strong preference towards FOSS tooling when possible)
Writing company-wide security standards and guidelines, as well as tools to enforce those.
Mentoring other team members on all matters related to security and infrastructure engineering.

Our take

Parity is a blockchain developer that builds infrastructure for the next generation of the internet. The open-source nature of Parity helps charities, businesses, and fintech institutions make the most of Web 3.0.

Founded in 2015 by department-heading employees of Ethereum, Parity has already partnered with the likes of Watr to track ethical commodities to help African economies. Its partnership with Aventus will help enterprises make more of the technology they champion. Both partnerships are examples of how scalable, flexible and powerful Parity’s infrastructure could be for the future of the internet.

With a focus on decentralisation, Parity has attracted investors such as the Digital Currency Group and the Ethereum Foundation, showing how integral they are to next-gen web development. Whilst it has yet to seek funding beyond its seed round and several grants, its partnerships with larger companies, as well as the success of its subsidiaries (such as Polkadot), will definitely help propel Parity into the future.
