ملخص الوظيفة
We are looking for a Principal Security Engineer with deep crypto domain expertise to lead security across our regulated digital-asset business. As we build out spot trading custody staking and on-chain services for our client base security is the foundation the whole business stands on. This role owns it.
You will be the security owner for our crypto platforms custody and on-chain layer end to end: architecture engineering operations and regulatory assurance for the parts of the stack that are unique to digital assets. For platform capabilities already owned by central security teams (cloud application security IAM SOC) youll define the crypto-specific requirements and partner on delivery rather than duplicate ownership. You will work closely with risk compliance product and engineering and report into the central security function.
This is a hands-on senior role for someone who understands that in digital-asset custody a single key-management failure is a firm-ending event and who builds controls accordingly.

- Own the full custody stack: MPC key management transaction authorisation signing quorums address whitelisting and withdrawal controls
- Govern hot/cold wallet segregation key ceremonies and delegated cold custodians
- Secure staking architecture and on-chain deposit/withdrawal paths
Platform cloud and application security (partner with InfraSec AppSec and IAM):
- Define crypto-specific hardening requirements for the custody and exchange stack within the existing multi-account AWS environment; partner with InfraSec on account segmentation network and data-residency controls
- Partner with AppSec to embed crypto-specific checks into the SDLC (SAST DAST SCA CI/CD security gates) for custody and exchange services
- Partner with IAM and IAM Tech on privileged access and secrets governance for crypto signing keys and custody credentials
Threat detection response and testing (partner with SOC CorpSec and AppSec):
- Define custody- and blockchain-specific detection use cases and feed them into SOCs monitoring and alerting
- Own incident response for crypto-specific scenarios (key compromise unauthorised transaction on-chain incident); partner with CorpSec on the group-wide IR process forensics and breach notification
- Contribute custody- and blockchain-specific scenarios into AppSecs pentest and red-team programme
Third-party and vendor security (own crypto vendor risk partner with CorpSec on process):
- Own security assessment and ongoing assurance of the crypto vendor stack: custody platforms execution systems blockchain analytics Travel Rule and treasury tooling
- Apply CorpSecs vendor onboarding and contract security process to crypto vendor engagements
Regulatory resilience and governance (own crypto-specific mapping partner with IT Governance):
- Own control mapping against MiCA and the crypto-specific provisions of DORA and FCA rules; partner with IT Governance on ISO 27001 SOC 2 NIST CSF and GDPR mapping
- Feed crypto services into the groups BC/DR and important-business-service mapping owned by IT Governance
- Maintain crypto-specific security policy addenda; support regulatory and IT audits on crypto scope
Required Qualifications:
- 6 years in information security including recent experience as a senior security engineer security architect or security lead;
- Direct experience securing crypto digital-asset custody or a regulated financial platform; strong understanding of blockchain security wallet architecture and key management;
- Working knowledge of cloud security fundamentals (AWS preferred Azure/GCP acceptable) in a regulated environment;
- Practical knowledge of security in regulated finance and how controls map to licence conditions (ISO 27001 SOC 2 NIST);
- Experience running threat modelling risk assessments and incident response;
- Comfortable operating in a matrixed security model - partnering with dedicated IAM AppSec SOC and infrastructure security teams rather than owning those functions outright.
Nice to have:
- Hands-on Kubernetes containers API security and infrastructure as code;
- Python proficiency for automation and scripting;
- Experience running third-party / vendor security assurance;
- Recognised certifications: CISSP CISM CCSP or equivalent;

- Familiarity with MiCA DORA FCA crypto rules or comparable digital-asset regimes;
- Background in secure SDLC and DevSecOps (OWASP secure-by-design);
- Experience with smart contract security review: threat modelling commissioning and managing external audits and driving findings through to resolution;
- Experience designing transaction signing and approval flows so that what a user or operator authorises is provably what gets signed and broadcast;
- Experience reviewing business logic in the money path - withdrawal sequencing balance idempotency internal ledger integrity - where the flaw sits in the logic rather than the cryptography;
- Familiarity with supply-chain assurance for crypto-specific dependencies: wallet SDKs chain libraries node clients and signing tooling including pinning provenance and upgrade discipline;
- Experience defining bug bounty scope for crypto assets and triaging and calibrating severity for on-chain findings.
Soft Skills:
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills;
- Able to translate technical risk into business and regulatory impact;
- Able to explain security risks and mitigations to non-security teams and to regulators;
- Cross-functional collaboration with risk compliance product and engineering teams;
