Member of Technical Staff, Security Engineering

With the evolving landscape of digital threats and an increasing volume of sophisticated attacks by malicious actors, we have a security policy mandating all new hires complete an in-person onboarding process - no exceptions
. Security is our foundation and we prioritize physical identity verification and secure IT setup. While our security and IT logistics require physical presence to protect our infrastructure from sophisticated global threats, this move is equally about our Village culture. We believe that a laptop can be shipped, but our culture cannot.

• Deep understanding of modern cryptography:
  Proficiency in symmetric and asymmetric encryption, hashing algorithms, key management, and cryptographic protocols. Blockchain protocols experience is a plus.
• Secure coding expertise:
  Demonstrated ability to write secure, efficient, and well-documented code in Go, C++, C, and Rust, with a focus on cryptographic implementations.
• Systems thinking:
  Ability to analyze complex systems, identify potential vulnerabilities, and design robust security solutions within a distributed architecture. Experience with Hardware Security Modules is a plus.
• Strong problem‑solving skills:
  Capacity to troubleshoot cryptographic issues, analyze security threats, and develop effective mitigation strategies.
• Excellent communication and collaboration:
  Ability to clearly explain complex cryptographic concepts to both technical and non‑technical audiences.

• Develop and implement high‑quality, secure code for cryptographic controls throughout our infrastructure.
• Review code throughout the technology stack and help engineering teams resolve issues related to security guardrails.
• Foster an efficient testing culture while reducing technical debt and unnecessary processes.

• Build robust, resilient components that are easily integrated by other teams to ensure asset and data security.
• Develop and maintain threat models for cryptosystem guarantees, both internal and external. Monitor technical debt and proactively identify areas for improvement.
• Lead or substantially contribute to medium and large Security Team initiatives with minimal oversight. Coordinate team members across engineering boundaries and drive projects from inception to completion.
• Break complex projects into manageable tasks with accurate time and scope estimates. Present options clearly, analyze tradeoffs thoroughly, and provide well‑reasoned priority recommendations.
• Deliver work that aligns with departmental objectives, subject to review upon completion. Take ownership of tactical business targets that affect team performance.

• Understand and help implement the company's strategy by participating in planning and defining the Security Team's strategic goals in alignment with Anchorage Digital's overall objectives.
• Stay alert to emerging company objectives and industry trends that could affect organizational success.
• Consider security holistically across the entire product ecosystem while fostering a security‑first company culture.
• Balance speed of delivery with careful planning and precision.

• Share knowledge broadly across the team while preventing single points of failure.
• Mentor and guide engineers throughout the Engineering team. Help them understand security's impact on Anchorage Digital's strategic goals, enabling them to develop new technologies and services safely with appropriate oversight.
• Collaborate across teams to solve problems, review specifications, and engage in technical discussions. Communicate insights and recommendations clearly to improve processes and address technical debt.
• Demonstrate empathy by understanding others' context, needs, motivations, and concerns—adapting communication style to maximize effectiveness.

• Cryptography: You possess a strong foundation in applied cryptography, including symmetric/asymmetric encryption, hashing algorithms, digital signatures, key exchange protocols, and common cryptographic libraries.
• Security Architecture and Implementation: You can contribute to the design and…
