StarkWare is seeking a Blockchain Security Researcher to join and grow its Blockchain Security Research team. This is offensive-minded security work focused on real money-moving infrastructure—breaking protocols before attackers do, and building the tooling and processes that keep them safe.
In this role, you will:

- Own the end-to-end security of on-chain protocols, including secure signing of on-chain transactions
- Hunt for vulnerabilities and exploits in protocols, smart contracts, and dApps
- Build detection and prevention tooling
- Initiate your own research and products

REQUIREMENTS:
- 3+ years of hands-on experience in a security-driven environment
- Solid security background in at least one of: exploit development, offensive security, vulnerability research, low-level networking, or cryptography
- Ability to dive into unfamiliar technology and systematically find where it breaks
- Comfortable coding in Python, C++, Rust, or similar languages
- Ability to thrive in high-stakes, fast-changing environments
NICE TO HAVE:
- Blockchain security research background (exploits, forensics, protocol risk)
- Hands-on experience with Starknet, Ethereum, or other blockchain networks
- Web2 security or Blue team experience
