Jito Labs - Security Engineer
Requirements
• A software engineering background is essential - you've built production systems and that foundation shapes how you approach security • You've since moved into product security and are fluent in the full lifecycle: threat modeling, secure design review, whitebox code review, and vulnerability testing • Solid understanding of identity and access management concepts and tooling • Genuine interest in AI security with the ability to build adversarial testing tooling • A thoughtful approach to software supply chain risk beyond checkbox scanning • Strong written communication - documentation is a real part of this job • Comfortable with high ownership and working autonomously on a small team • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field • 5+ years of professional experience, with a meaningful portion in software engineering before transitioning into security • Proficiency in at least one systems or backend language (e.g. Rust preferred, Go, Python, C++) - you will be expected to write code, build tooling, and read production codebases as a routine part of this role • Demonstrated experience in product or application security - not solely infrastructure or compliance-focused roles • Track record of building security tooling or automation from scratch • Experience conducting or leading security reviews on production software systems • Hands-on experience with mobile device management (MDM) platforms and endpoint policy enforcement • Familiarity with enterprise IAM systems and SSO - configuration, integration, and audit • Experience with privileged access management (PAM) tooling and the operational patterns around it • Strong Linux administration skills - comfortable at the command line, understanding of kernel-level security primitives, and experience hardening Linux environments • Experience with multisig schemes - signing policy design, quorum configuration, or key management in a production context • Familiarity with hardware security modules (HSMs) - integration, key lifecycle management, or operational use • Exposure to trusted execution environments (TEEs) - understanding of attestation, confidential compute, or secure enclave design • Above-market total compensation and multiple forms of equity
Responsibilities
• Identity and access management - provisioning, lifecycle operations, and monitoring for critical changes • Security reviews across our product portfolio - threat modeling, code review, fuzzing, and functional testing • Day-to-day bug bounty operations - triage, remediation tracking, and escalation of high-severity findings • AI security research and tooling - adversarial testing frameworks for agent controls, with a focus on reusable patterns • Software supply chain monitoring - malicious package detection beyond standard CVE scanning • External penetration test coordination - scoping, logistics, and post-engagement remediation tracking • Compliance documentation and evidence gathering as requirements emerge
Benefits
• All-expenses-paid team retreats and conferences • Weekly meal voucher • $175,000 - $195,000 a year
