Overview
Join Gauntlet as a Senior Security Engineer to build and scale security programs in DeFi, securing systems that manage billions in assets. Work remotely in the US or Canada. Gauntlet builds the financial systems of the future. While much of onchain finance is focused on point solutions, we operate across the entire stack to offer best-in-class vault products. Today we serve over $1.5B in client TVL across some of the largest fintechs/neobanks, protocols, exchanges, and capital allocators in crypto — and, increasingly, traditional asset management. Our team brings together traditional finance and crypto-native expertise to deliver durable, sophisticated products for institutional clients moving onchain.
What you'll do
- •Threat model new product features and integrations and harden systems with effective controls.
- •Operate and evolve the application security toolchain (SAST, dependency and supply-chain checks, secrets scanning) and keep it high-signal for developers.
- •Own day-to-day security operations across the detection stack (EDR, SIEM, on-chain monitoring, identity, cloud): triage what fires, resolve what matters, and reduce noise.
- •Triage vulnerability and bug-bounty findings by real exposure, drive remediation, and support incident response end to end.
- •Take security tooling and projects from evaluation through org-wide rollout, collaborating across engineering, infra and other teams.
- •Automate repetitive, judgment-light security work with AI: vulnerability and AppSec workflows, access reviews, SOC 2 and audit evidence collection, vendor due diligence, and recurring reporting.
- •Build reusable AI components, Claude skills, and agents that engineering and other functions can adopt.
Conditions
- •Remote first - work from anywhere in the US & CAN!
- •Regular in-person company retreats and cross-country "office visit" perk
- •100% paid medical, dental and vision premiums for employees
- •$1,000 WFH stipend
- •Monthly reimbursement for home internet, phone, and cellular data
- •Unlimited vacation
- •100% paid parental leave of 12 weeks
- •Fertility benefits
- •Opportunity for incentive compensation
