What the job involves

- You will act as both an investigator and a builder: triaging and resolving security incidents with precision while continuously improving detections and automations that help the team move faster and operate more effectively
- This role is central to our day-to-day security posture, turning alerts into meaningful action
- Triage, investigate, and respond to security alerts across endpoints, cloud infrastructure, and network telemetry
- Take a builder’s mindset to the role by automating repetitive workflows and using AI to increase speed, scale, and effectiveness
- Execute containment and remediation actions for confirmed incidents, while following and continuously improving established runbooks
- Tune and maintain SIEM and EDR detections to reduce false positives, strengthen signal quality, and close coverage gaps
- Apply threat intelligence, including IOCs and TTPs, to active investigations and ongoing monitoring
- Participate in the on-call rotation and contribute clear, actionable post-incident documentation
Our take
Paxos develops 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, 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 substantial funding and an impressive valuation.
Its growth has been backed up by material results, too. It has established relationships with firms like Bank of America, Credit Suisse and Mastercard. PayPal also leverages Paxos on its backend to enable its users to buy, sell and hold crypto. This proven success with an expanding roster of big-name clients is very impressive, as is the company's success in receiving approval to convert to an OCC National Trust Bank.
