Staff Product Security Engineer

United States, remote first with NY office available · Full-time · Security · Reports to CISO

About DFNS

Finance is moving onchain. Stablecoins, tokenized deposits, securities and funds are changing how money and assets are issued, held and transferred. The destination is a financial system where any asset can be issued, moved and governed onchain with the controls regulated institutions require. That shift needs a new foundation. Just as core banking systems manage accounts and ledgers today, financial institutions need a platform to manage digital assets. DFNS is that platform. Today, we secure hundreds of billions of dollars in assets every month for more than 500 clients worldwide.

Why this role

Our platform secures a lot of value. Every code path, dependency and deployment is a potential route to that value. The record we are protecting is zero breaches. You will own the security of the product itself, from threat models and architecture reviews to the secure development lifecycle, pentests, bug bounty and incident response. In year one you will put automated security gates into CI/CD, threat model the signing path and the governance model end to end and become the engineer our clients’ security teams want in the room during due diligence.

What you’ll do

  • Own product security across the platform, from threat modeling and design reviews to code review and dynamic testing.
  • Build the secure development lifecycle into CI/CD, with SAST and DAST, dependency and supply chain controls (SBOM, signing, provenance) and secrets scanning running as automated gates.
  • Lead vulnerability management for the product, from triage and prioritization to fix verification and security releases, with Engineering.
  • Run the external pentest program and the bug bounty, and work directly with researchers.
  • Lead incident response for product security events, from detection and containment to forensics, post-mortems and the controls that follow.
  • Represent our security in client due diligence and audits, from security questionnaires and pentest reports to architecture sessions with bank security teams.
  • Raise the bar for every engineer through secure coding guidance, training and reusable security patterns and libraries.

What you bring

Must-haves

  • Hands-on application security on production systems that handle money or sensitive data, including threat modeling, code review and finding and fixing real vulnerabilities.
  • Ability to read and write TypeScript and Rust (or Go) well enough to review and fix security issues yourself.
  • Experience building security into CI/CD, including SAST and DAST, dependency and supply chain controls and secrets management.
  • Applied cryptography fluency. You know how keys, signatures, TLS and PKI get misused in practice and you can review an MPC or HSM integration without designing the protocol yourself.
  • Cloud security on AWS, including IAM, networking and KMS or Nitro Enclaves.
  • Experience running pentests or a bug bounty and leading incident response.
  • Communication that works with engineers and with external security teams such as bank CISOs and auditors.

Nice-to-haves

  • Smart contract security on EVM or Solana.
  • Experience with MPC or threshold signature systems, or with HSMs.
  • Published research, CVEs or conference talks.
  • Experience producing SOC 2 or ISO 27001 evidence for secure development controls.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
