Exodus is looking for a security-focused engineer who is passionate about identifying and fixing security vulnerabilities in the javascript and crypto ecosystem. Your role as a Security Engineer is to ensure the security footprint of the third-party dependencies we bring into our wallet are safe for the millions of users who use our wallet to secure and exchange their crypto assets. We are specifically looking for a security-focused javascript engineer who is excited to work with our existing security team to make improvements to tooling around our security audit process and work with the team to audit in-house and third-party crypto libraries.

What You Will Do

Every third-party dependency added to our codebase goes through a multi-step security audit. We need someone who will:

  • Collaborate with product engineers to ensure that the dependencies they bring into our wallet clients are fully audited for security vulnerabilities.
  • Figure out forking strategies for large dependencies that need to be carved into smaller, easier-to-audit components.
  • Probe for security exploits in code that we write, as well as code, pulled from third-party libraries.
  • Ensure that every single line of code that makes its way to our customers is secure.
  • Improve tooling, process, and communication around our audit process.

Who You Are

  • Cryptography experience.
  • 3+ years of Javascript experience.
  • 2+ years of Javascript security experience.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Excellent security skills. Your first responsibility will be collaborating with our existing security team to review existing audits.
  • Self-motivated and well organised.
  • Able to unblock yourself in a largely asynchronous work environment.
