About Paxos

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.

• Identify and risk score any identified gaps in regulatory or customer expectations and work with engineering leadership to prioritize
• Automation of various tools (consuming APIs of services like GitHub, Jira, AWS, etc.) to improve our ability to capture and evidence important data, moving us to a “audit once/report many” mindset
• Immerse yourself in blockchain technology, cryptocurrency for enterprises and investors, our regulation-first approach, and more!

Your experience should include:

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, interpersonal and collaborative skills, and the ability to communicate complex information security topics to technical and nontechnical audiences at various levels
• At least 5 years of direct experience in the GRC, internal and external audit, and security space, with significant experience in not just meeting, but raising the bar in all aspects of information security compliance in a regulated or public firm
