Protochain is a research-oriented development and trading firm focused on building the future of crypto infrastructure and markets.
We're a team of both builders and traders who work to unlock the long-term potential of crypto by building a suite of products, contributing to decentralized protocols and open-source codebases, and improving market structure. We are based out of New York City, with the possibility to be remote depending on the position.
As a Blockchain Security Engineer at Protochain, you will partner with project leads, researchers, and other senior developers on strategic efforts to secure blockchain projects within high value ecosystems. You will be working across multiple layer 1 blockchains, securing both on-chain and off-chain logic to build and support new functionality. You’ll also contribute to internal and external tooling as part of our effort to make smart contract programming safer and more maintainable.
What You'll Do:
Audit smart contracts that serve as critical infrastructure to blockchain, cryptocurrency, and other decentralized technologies
Lead internal and external security assessments of blockchain technologies.
Participate in risk assessment, threat modeling, and other security exercises.
Design, build, and implement security solutions to support open-source blockchain projects.
Manage or train other engineers both internal to Protochain, as well as within the crypto community, to help projects scale safely.
Contribute to our security bug bounty programs, helping validate and fix reported vulnerabilities.
Advise both closed and open source projects to improve their security posture.
Develop security automation tooling for SAST, DAST, and CI/CD frameworks.
Manage fast-moving priorities and help shape product security strategy.
Collaborate with community members via channels such as Slack, Discord, and Telegram.
Write clear and concise documentation to support a security-focused SDLC.
Other duties as assigned or needed.
Skills You’ll Need:
Experience with or willingness to learn Smart Contract Auditing (Solidity or other smart contract languages)
Familiarity with Web3, DeFi protocols, Cryptocurrency, EVM, DAOs, and NFTs
Strong interest in securing logic and applications that will accelerate the adoption of the decentralized future
Experience with reverse engineering complex systems.
Knowledge and application of secrets management, data encryption, key management, PKI, distributed ledgers and tokenization
Experienced in architecting, or contributing to, mid-to-large scale software projects
Secure Code Review and Development Experience within 3 of the following languages (eg. Python, Javascript, TypeScript, Go, C++, Rust, Java, Node).
Experience with securing cloud environments and container platforms
Experience with leading penetration tests, red team exercises, bug bounty programs, or CTFs
Excited by the prospect of working in a fast-paced and lean organization with evolving focuses and priorities
What is EVM?
EVM stands for Ethereum Virtual Machine, and it is the runtime environment for smart contracts in the Ethereum network
It is a virtual machine that executes code written in the Solidity programming language, which is the language used for writing smart contracts on the Ethereum platform
The EVM is a sandboxed environment, which means that code executed within the EVM is isolated from the rest of the network and cannot interact with it directly
This is important for security reasons, as it prevents malicious code from affecting the rest of the network
When a smart contract is deployed to the Ethereum network, it is compiled into bytecode that can be executed by the EVM
Each node on the network maintains a copy of the EVM, which allows them to execute smart contract code and validate transactions
When a transaction is submitted to the network, the EVM processes it by executing the corresponding smart contract code
The EVM processes the transaction by reading the bytecode, interpreting it, and executing it step by step
The EVM then returns the result of the transaction to the sender, which can include changes to the state of the contract or the network as a whole
The EVM is designed to be Turing-complete, which means that it is capable of performing any computation that can be performed by a computer
This allows for complex smart contracts to be executed on the Ethereum network, including those with conditional logic, loops, and other advanced programming constructs
The EVM is a key component of the Ethereum network, as it allows for the execution of smart contracts in a secure and isolated environment
It is a crucial part of the blockchain infrastructure that enables decentralized applications to be built and run on the Ethereum platform.
