What the job involves

  • As a Security Response Engineer on the Threat Management team, you will be responsible for preventing, detecting, and responding to all manner of security incidents that impact the company, on and off chain
  • You will be responsible for developing and deploying tools to automate, enrich, and integrate data from a wide variety of sources into our security stack
  • You will steward a culture of security as you work with teams across the company to drive down risk
  • This role is also a career-defining opportunity, as you will be a part of a fast-growing tech company that is successfully implementing a key piece of the world’s blockchain infrastructure designed to power the digital agreements of the future
  • Drive the resolution of security incidents across all facets of the company
  • Build novel detection capabilities for threats across local, cloud, and blockchain environments

  • Develop tools to automate response processes to expedite analysis workflows

Our take

Smart contracts are slated to be the future of transparent, fair, and efficient digital dealings across industries as diverse as lending, real estate, and international trade. Historically, the application of smart contracts was limited to on-chain data, but oracle mechanisms like Chainlink can be used to import off-chain data (like those required for the broader application of smart contracts) onto the chain.

Chainlink Labs' work has marked a significant step forward in the progress of blockchain technologies - and has proven a remarkable success story for the company. It is responsible for the largest global decentralized oracle network in the world, used by hundreds of projects spanning online gaming and cryptocurrency. It has also received its fair share of critique - but blockchain technology at large remains a work in progress, and Chainlink has been quick to develop solutions.

All in all, the benefits of Chainlink’s work look set to become even more pronounced, as smart contracts become more applied across the globe. In late 2022, the company launched the staking of its native token LINK, to increase the security of the protocol and enable the Chainlink system to grow.
