ChainSecurity
Blockchain Security Engineer | Full-time
hn · INTERNS , HYBRID/REMOTE, Zurich, Switzerland
Jose has exceptional full-stack engineering skills, cryptography experience from his Mycelium cryptocurrency wallet work, and deep Linux/infrastructure expertise. However, he lacks the specialized blockchain security audit experience, formal verification knowledge, and security-focused background that ChainSecurity prioritizes. His strength is building AI products and systems at scale rather than security analysis and vulnerability research.
Hook: Your background securing an 8M-user cryptocurrency wallet combined with your systems-thinking approach could translate to blockchain security, though you'd be transitioning from product engineering to security auditing.
Missing: Blockchain security audit experience, Penetration testing, Formal verification, Vulnerability scanning tools, Threat modeling, Security research publication record, Consensus algorithm deep knowledge
