Asymmetric Research:

Asymmetric Research ("AR") is a boutique security venture focused on deep partnerships with L1/L2 blockchains and DeFi protocols in an effort to keep them safe. We specialize in four core domains of web3 security: research, engineering, incident response, and infrastructure services.

Culture:

AR is a fully remote organization. Our team has deep roots in open-source development and decades of security-first experience at organizations such as Google, Netflix, Mozilla, Stripe, and Jump Crypto. We value autonomy, professionalism, and a commitment to excellence.

About the Role:

We're seeking a Go Security Tooling/Automation Engineer (AMER) to design, build, and review critical software and supporting infrastructure within the Solana and other ecosystems. You’ll work closely with leading blockchain protocols, collaborating on both internal and external engineering initiatives with a strong emphasis on secure-by-design development.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement reliable, performant security tooling software and infrastructure.

• Collaborate with protocol teams to develop new functionality and improve existing software.

• Conduct code reviews and contribute to open source and proprietary code bases.

• Build testing frameworks and CI pipelines for robust, high-assurance deployments.

• Contribute to security-sensitive infrastructure such as validators, bridges, and oracles.

• Work with internal and partner teams to identify design flaws or vulnerabilities early in the development lifecycle.

• Stay current with emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and best practices in smart contract development.

Requirements:

• 4+ years of hands-on experience developing Go infrastructure-related components.

• Deep familiarity with web2 infrastructure scaling technologies, including AWS/GCP.

• Experience writing robust unit and integration tests.

• Comfortable reviewing and debugging complex codebases.

• Interest or background in secure systems design and adversarial threat modeling.

• Contributions to open-source projects or prior audit/code review work are a plus.

• Familiarity with other smart contract ecosystems (e.g., Ethereum, CosmWasm, Move) is a bonus.

• Familiarity with Rust/C++/C development is also a plus.

• While we are a globally distributed team, for this role, we prefer candidates who can work in US time zones.

• 25 days paid vacation

• Office, wellness, and equipment stipends

• Pension / 401K programs

• Life Insurance

• Premium Healthcare
