Senior Cloud Security Engineer

Remote

The Information Security group is looking for a Senior Cloud Security Engineer to be a technical leader to a team focused on securing our large cloud infrastructure.

You will also help design and lead the build out of logging, monitoring, and incident response alerting and tooling.

About Paxos

Paxos is on a mission to enable the movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. Today’s financial infrastructure is archaic, expensive, inefficient and risky - supporting a system that leaves out more people than it lets in. So we’re rebuilding it.

As a regulated blockchain infrastructure company, we use technology to tokenize, custody, trade, and settle assets for enterprise clients like PayPal, Bank of America, and Interactive Brokers. Paxos is a top-funded blockchain company, with more than $500 million in total funding from leading investors like OakHC/FT, Founders Fund, PayPal Ventures, and Declaration Partners. Together, we empower today’s financial leaders to build a more open, trusted economy.

As a Senior Cloud Security Engineer, you’ll get to:

• Be a technical lead to a small group of engineers building out logging and alerting pipelines, secure ingress solutions, zero trust, etc.
• Define standards for infrastructure security and champion their adoption across the org (such as service meshes, mTLS, etc.)
• Identify and remediate security issues and vulnerabilities in our cloud infrastructure, determining root cause, and identifying prevention methods.
• Log analysis using our SIEM to identify evidence of possible attacks and work closely with our 24x7x365 SOC to implement detection rules.
• Immerse yourself in blockchain technology, cryptocurrency for enterprises and investors, our regulation-first approach, and more!

Your experience should include:

• At Least 5 years working with AWS and securing large production workloads (multi-account, multi-region with hundreds of nodes).
• In-depth knowledge of security layers both native to AWS (IAM, ACM, security groups, ACLs, etc.) and general (secrets storage with tools like HashiCorp Vault, mTLS, service meshes).
• Participation in both offensive and defensive security activities .
• SOC automation and automated detection and response.
