Unchained is one of the world’s largest bitcoin financial services firms and, as a result, is constantly being attacked by bad actors. The role requires hardened, proactive security measures, and meticulous attention to access controls and physical/logical separation of responsibilities. Security is not an afterthought or a cost-center; it’s baked into the product and company culture.

The company meticulously screens and often avoids SaaS services to minimize external surface area and ensure clients’ data remains protected – even if this means increasing the number of systems they are directly responsible for maintaining.

The workloads are not dynamic but they are sophisticated. The complexity of the product and the high cost of bugs means deploying thousands of copies of the application through the development and testing life cycle of each release.

Responsibilities

• Maintain and enhance security measures for the protection of client data.
• Manage the deployment of the application through development and testing life cycles.
• Collaborate with the engineering team to develop and implement sophisticated software solutions.
• Screen and minimize the use of external SaaS services.
• Maintain transparency, honesty, and proof of work in all engineering tasks.
• Write clear and thorough documentation.
