Solid cryptographic knowledge: A deep understanding of cryptographic algorithms, hash functions, digital signatures, and encryption schemes is required. Experience with secure key management practices and multi-signature schemes is a plus.
Programming and smart contract expertise: Proficiency in Golang is necessary. Experience with other programming languages commonly used in blockchain development, such as Solidity or Rust, is also valuable.
Security assessment skills: You should possess strong skills in conducting security assessments, penetration testing, and vulnerability scanning with a focus on Go codebases. Knowledge of network security, secure coding practices in Go, and secure software development lifecycle (SDLC) is essential.
Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities: The role requires analyzing complex systems, identifying potential security weaknesses, and proposing effective solutions. You should be detail-oriented, proactive, and capable of thinking critically.
Excellent communication and reporting skills: You must be able to clearly communicate your findings, recommendations, and technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential.

What you'll do:

Conduct security audits of Golang-based blockchain protocols codebases to identify vulnerabilities and potential security risks.
Communicate with developers and key stakeholders when identifying and handling security issues in Golang and other related technologies.
Implement internal tools for simplifying the audit process.
Keep up to date with the latest security vulnerabilities, exploits, and attack techniques related to blockchain protocols and adapt audit procedures accordingly, with a particular emphasis on those affecting Golang.
Write reports detailing identified vulnerabilities and recommend remediation steps to development teams, with insights specific to Golang practices.
