Mysten Labs believes that decentralized and open protocols are the bedrock of the internet of value. This is why at Mysten Labs, we are creating foundational infrastructure to accelerate the adoption of decentralized protocols based on blockchain technologies.
Security engineers own the operational and software security of the Sui blockchain, wallet, Move language, and other Mysten systems. Security engineers support and work closely with the engineers working on the sensitive components of these systems. In addition, they are the key points of contact for audit engagements and bug bounty reports.We are hiring security engineers now as we expand the ecosystem post-mainnet. We have a strong team in protocol security, but we need experts in operational and software security who can help us navigate the challenges of running an open and decentralized system with valuable assets inside.
