Detection & Response Engineer
About This Role
You will own the entire Detection & Response (D&R) function across our hybrid Web2 and Web3 environment. From designing sophisticated detections to orchestrating rapid incident containment, you'll protect a dynamic DeFi platform.
What You'll Be Doing
Design, build, and tune detection pipelines for cloud, container, and blockchain telemetry (AWS/GCP, K8s, on-chain data streams).
Maintain real-time monitoring using SIEM/XDR solutions.
Integrate blockchain-specific monitoring tools (e.g., Hypernative, Hexagate) with cloud-native telemetry.
Build SOAR workflows and automated containment playbooks.
Implement on-chain transaction guardrails and automated policy enforcement for suspicious smart-contract activity.
Lead the incident lifecycle end-to-end: triage, scope, containment, eradication, recovery, and post-mortems.
Conduct blockchain forensics, smart contract incident analysis, and Web2 investigations.
Proactively identify emerging TTPs by mining multi-source telemetry.
Partner with other engineers to simulate attack scenarios, including DeFi-specific threats (MEV exploitation, oracle manipulation, re-entrancy, governance takeovers).
Collaborate with DevOps, Backend, and Smart Contract teams to integrate detection logic into pipelines.
Conduct security design reviews for new features, focusing on application logic and blockchain protocol risks.
Influence secure-by-default engineering practices across Web2 and Web3 stacks.
What We're Looking For
5+ years of experience in a relevant security engineering role.
Why Join Us
Be part of one of the fastest-growing DeFi protocols with over $6B in TVL and 100k+ users.
Work with a passionate team dedicated to unlocking DeFi for the world.
Directly impact the security of critical infrastructure in the DeFi ecosystem.
