Remote Cybersecurity + Engineer Jobs

What is the job?

Do you enjoy working in an ambitious, fast-paced environment that requires critical and strategic thinking? Do you appreciate the challenge of collaboration across multiple channels to create highly visible work? Are you ready to identify new security trends, in both attack and defense, and be responsible for leading appropriate responses? You’ve come to the right place.

In this role, you will work closely with the Head of Cyber Security, supporting all areas of the business. You will be taking the lead across several security projects as well as providing advice, training, and support to the rest of the business.

The world of crypto moves quickly and decentralized finance (“DeFi,” RDX Works particular area of crypto) is proving to move quickest of all, so we need an excellent Cyber Security Engineer to tackle the unique security challenges our industry faces.

What does the job entail?

• Working directly with the Head of Cyber Security, you will take visible ownership of security solutions and activities across the entire company, including:
  • Taking the lead on several security projects that impact all areas of the business.
  • Mentor and support the security team, bringing experience and visibility of security issues across the industry to the team.
  • Assessing compliance against security policies, and coming up with proportional strategies for improvement.
  • Taking the lead on root cause analysis, incident management, and communication to non-technical teams.
  • Providing security education and training across the company.

What do you need?

• At least 6 years of cyber security experience, working in senior engineer or architect roles.
• Experience leading multiple security implementation/integration projects.
• Experience with GRC and supporting audit and compliance activities.
• Extensive (5+ years) experience deploying, integrating, and securing SaaS solutions and Cloud hosted infrastructure.
• Experience with threat assessment and vulnerability lifecycle management.
• Experience taking the lead in incident response and remediation.
• Critical thinking skills, with an ability to quickly deliver root cause analysis, and explain it to non-security stakeholders.
• Project management expertise (either leading a project entirely or significant responsibility for critical path security deliverables).
• Excellent presentation and communication skills.

Nice to haves:

• Prior experience in FinTech, financial services, and/or crypto is highly desirable – be prepared to explain how crypto currencies work, and the common security challenges.
• CISSP certification.
• Certifications to showcase your experience with Project Management, Agile development techniques, and Cloud platforms.
• Portfolio of work (GitHub, published articles, conference talks) showcasing your expertise and interests.

Who are we?

At RDX Works, we're a team of like-minded thinkers who have long been convinced that we're living in the earliest stages of a global financial revolution. This revolution is being fuelled by decentralized finance (or DeFi for short), which is enabling an assortment of pioneering developers and entrepreneurs to re-invent almost every financial product that is currently traded and invested in traditional markets, without requiring central authorities or siloed infrastructure. DeFi has captured a great deal of attention and investment in the crypto-aware niche, growing assets under management from $1 billion to over $200 billion in a few years. Impressive as its growth has been, its current market size isn't even a rounding error on the over $400 trillion held in traditional finance. We're focused on what it will take to go from billions to trillions.

RDX went back to first principles to come up with the right technical solution—the first layer-one protocol built specifically for mainstream DeFi—and we have already tested out at over 1 million transactions per second. We're keenly aware that the need for an infinitely scalable platform is only one prerequisite among many for mass adoption, and we're also blazing new ground in the areas of purpose-built developer tools, user experiences, and regulatory integration.

We have forged a path deep into the future of what distributed ledger technology is going to look like and we need you to come and be part of the team that is making that happen right now.

Alternatively, if you feel like you don’t match all of the requirements, we would love you to still apply anyway. We understand that confidence gaps and imposter syndrome can get in the way of meeting incredible candidates and we wouldn’t want this to prevent us from meeting you; especially as we are big advocates of helping people learn & grow.

Here at RDX Works, we believe in being salary agnostic. This means that we pay salaries based on your expertise and what you can add to the business, aligning with London market rates; not based on your location or the economy of your country of residence.

Salary and compensation

Hello from Havoc Shield! 

We’re A Small Team of Passionate Technologists, Entrepreneurs, and Democratizers making a professional cybersecurity program accessible to small and vulnerable companies. It’s kind of like TurboTax for small business cybersecurity in that we take the ocean of complexity that is risk mitigation, vendor management, policies, recovery, and orchestration and we bake it into a step by step action plan that non-experts can execute on.

At Havoc Shield, we know that the workplace dynamic is changing and we have changed with it. Your day will not be broken up into countless meetings, distractions that could wait and unnecessary fire-drills. We believe in small teams. Small teams are fast and nimble. Small teams mean less bureaucracy and less management and more getting things done.

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who has at least 6 years experience in backend web development, with at least two of those years working for a startup. You’ll ultimately own several software components, and you’ll participate in product planning and testing. 

Tech Stack: Our platform uses the PHP framework Laravel and the Javascript framework Vue tied together with the InertiaJS library for a SPA-like experience without the maintenance overhead. Our platform is backed by a MySQL database and relies on the N8N workflow engine and the RPA framework via Robocorp for out-of-band tasks. All of our servers are hosted on AWS, and our code is hosted on GitHub. Although we're currently a small team, we use modern methodologies, local environments coordinated by Docker, code reviews, continuous integration, etc. for software development. 

About You 

You love building. You have at least six years of experience as a Software Engineer building scalable web-applications, with at least two of those years working for a startup. 

You excel working on a team and mentoring others. You enjoy being part of a team that solves problems together, collaborating on ideas and working to meet team goals. You like pairing up with teammates when someone gets blocked. You give and accept feedback professionally and don’t let ego get in the way of delivering the best solution for the customer. You can summarize technical concepts effectively as you work with people from disciplines outside of engineering.

You love shipping to customers. Nothing we build matters if it isn’t meeting customers’ needs. You’ll also learn to empathize with Havoc Shield’s end users and add capabilities to the Platform that enable Havoc Shield to offer new products. 

You love learning. Engineering is an ever-evolving world. You enjoy exploring areas that you might not have experience with yet. You have a balanced approach to adopting new tech vs using well-understood patterns.

Things You Might Do

• Participate in product planning and testing; develop mostly backend software across infrastructure

• Own several infrastructure component areas and supports all others

• Operate and scale the systems you and your team build.

• Dig into bugs and feature requests 

• Work and collaborate with colleagues to help them deliver value to customers in new and exciting ways

Pay Transparency

Havoc Shield strives to create transparency in compensation across our team in the pursuit of ensuring pay equality and trust. We’re working on published pay bands for each role that will be available to all team members. We expect those pay bands to be published within Q4 2022. In the meantime, we highlight to employees that it is their right to discuss their compensation with others and always welcome conversations about the topic. We re-evaluate pay bands on an at least annual basis and perform individual compensation reviews bi-annually.

Equity

We’re a growth-stage startup, and one that prizes the careful use of funds to protect our team members. We know we can’t pay the same as a large tech company can, but we do reward employees who want to truly own what they’re working on with significant equity. All full time team members receive equity options. These options are tied to what we can pay in cash and where the market is in terms of total compensation above that. We fill the gap with equity options valued at our last fundraising round’s post-money valuation, of which value we strive to grow year over year. We regularly evaluate our equity option plan to introduce mechanisms and offerings to make understanding, exercising, and benefiting from your options. We know equity is a bet on the company, and so we’re doing everything we can to make sure that bet pays off. Ask us for more details - we’ll be happy to talk about them.
