You’ll work closely with the Head of Exchange and Director of Product to ensure crypto security is integrated into every technical and operational decision across the organization. This role combines hands-on technical awareness with security governance, audit coordination, and regulatory compliance.

Custody & Business Continuity:
Design secure custody solutions (MPC, key threshold logic, recovery protocols)
Represent crypto in Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery planning, ensuring resilient custody and asset access
Policy Ownership & Audit Coordination:
Own the Crypto Risk Policy and align it with enterprise standards and regulatory requirements
Coordinate internal and external audits covering policy, infrastructure, and operational security controls
Security Controls & Data Protection:
Define role-based access controls, escalation paths, and segregation of duties across crypto operations
Ensure proper handling of PII and mitigation of common threat vectors such as XSS, CSRF, injection, session hijacking, impersonation, and rate-based abuse
Monitoring & Incident Response:
Contribute to crypto-specific monitoring, alerting, and audit logging frameworks
Develop and execute incident response plans, including log analysis and forensic readiness
Manage SIEM tools to centralize logging and detect anomalies in crypto workflows
Governance & Risk:
Maintain and report on a crypto-specific operational risk register
Participate in internal risk and compliance committees, providing crypto-focused security insight
