Role
Who you are
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Security, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
- 7+ years of experience in Technical Program Management or Project Management, preferably within a technology company
- 3+ years of direct experience managing complex, cross-functional security-focused programs
- Proven ability to work effectively across diverse teams (engineering, product, legal, compliance, operations) and influence without direct authority
- Strong understanding of core information security principles, concepts, and technologies (e.g., network security, cloud security, application security, cryptography basics, IAM, incident response)
- Demonstrated experience working with security compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST) and translating requirements into technical deliverables
- Excellent organizational, communication (written and verbal), and interpersonal skills
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to navigate ambiguity in a fast-paced environment
What the job involves
- As a Technical Program Manager (TPM) at Paxos, you will be responsible for planning, executing, and delivering complex, cross-functional security programs that protect our platform, infrastructure, data, and users' assets
- You will work closely with Engineering, Product Management, Legal, Compliance, Operations, and other teams to ensure our security posture is robust, scalable, and aligned with industry best practices and evolving regulatory requirements specific to the finance and cryptocurrency space
- Program Leadership: Define, manage, and drive the execution of multiple security programs simultaneously, including scope, timelines, resources, risk management, and success metrics
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as the primary liaison between the Security team and other departments (Engineering, Product, Legal, Compliance, Operations, etc.) to ensure seamless integration of security requirements and controls across the product lifecycle and business operations
- Regulatory & Compliance Integration: Understand and translate relevant security regulations and compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, NYDFS, MAS, DORA) into actionable technical security programs and projects
- Technical Security Understanding: Engage with engineering teams on security initiatives related to infrastructure security, application security, vulnerability management, incident response, identity and access management, cryptography, and securing digital assets
- Risk Management: Identify, assess, track, and mitigate risks and dependencies associated with security programs. Develop contingency plans and proactively address potential roadblocks
- Stakeholder Communication: Clearly and effectively communicate program status, risks, and dependencies to technical teams, senior management, and other stakeholders. Tailor communication appropriately for different audiences
Our take
Paxos is aiming to revolutionize blockchain by developing its selection of regulation-compliant infrastructure services for companies looking to add features like crypto brokerages or branded stablecoins to their customer offerings.
Its focus on regulatory compliance across different territories, and its status as one of only three national trusts born in the crypto ecosystem, gives it an edge in building a unique and global network of enterprise customers.
Cryptocurrency remains a risky sector, so a company at the forefront of crypto regulation is proving highly attractive to a growing sector of enterprises tentatively dipping their toes in. It is pushing ahead of competitors as one of the largest crypto/blockchain startups with a valuation of over $2 billion and a current funding total of over $500 million.
Its growth has been backed up by material results, too. It has established relationships with firms like Bank of America, Credit Suisse, and Mastercard, and PayPal leverages Paxos on its backend to enable its users to buy, sell, and hold cryptocurrencies. This proven success with an expanding roster of big-name clients and collaborators like MakerDao will likely see it command a dominant market share in the years ahead.
