<h3><strong>Security Tooling Team<br></strong></h3>
We are seeking a highly motivated, self-driven Software Engineer to augment our Security Tooling R&D Team inside OpenZeppelin. This role will help maintain and expand our current security tooling efforts and also support building out strategic capabilities for the future.
You will work closely with other members of the Security Tooling R&D Team to expand and create new tools to help humans reason about complex smart contract systems, automatically detect security issues in smart contracts, and visualize smart contract interactions and relationships. You may also help organize, index, and manipulate data relevant to blockchain security and automate processes that enhance the quality and robustness of our security services offerings.

- Iterate tools, workflows, and scripts that support more efficient internal processes related to security services.
- Triage issue reports and feature requests across several codebases.
- Adjust backend code to support new features.
- Build out our tooling interfaces/frontends to expose new capabilities internally.
You have
- 3+ years of software development experience.
- Experience writing production level software in Python and/or Rust.
- Some experience with front end frameworks such as Svelte or Next.js.
- Strong problem-solving and communication skills in a collaborative and remote team environment.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with and/or a keen interest in blockchain technology and related security considerations.
