Job description

TRM is on a mission to build a safer financial system for billions of people. We deliver a blockchain intelligence data platform to financial institutions, crypto companies, and governments to fight cryptocurrency fraud and financial crime. We consider our business — and our profit — as a way to move towards our mission sustainably and at scale. 

The Security team is responsible for and committed to securing all things at TRM. From our customers to our code, and everything in between, the security team is involved in all aspects of the business. We are looking for an Application Security Engineer to build mission-critical infrastructure that ensures the highest levels of availability, performance, and application security at TRM for products as built and deployed. From designing the technical strategy to company-wide best practices and implementation, you’ll work closely with engineering and engineering leadership to ensure TRM’s products are safe and secure.

The impact you’ll have here:

  • Lead application security reviews and threat modeling, including secure code review, architectural design, and testing
  • Develop automated testing and mature our Secure SDLC
  • Own and perform application security vulnerability management
  • Coordinate penetration testing engagements
  • Support software engineers and product teams by developing application security best practices
  • Develop and maintain the bug bounty program
  • Bootstrap platform security initiatives that help protect TRM data
  • Inspire a culture of security across the engineering organization by fostering security champions within engineering teams and coordinating secure code training.

What we’re looking for:

  • BS (or equivalent) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field.
  • Minimum 8 years of experience in Software Development and testing.
  • Experience working in a previous agile-based software development role preferred
  • Experience Red Teaming or penetration testing applications and infrastructure
  • Deep experience with common software flaws (e.g., OWASP and CWE), testing methodologies (e.g., SAST, DAST, and SCA), and using common security tooling for testing.
  • Professional experience with cloud providers (e.g., GCP and AWS), modern secure software development lifecycles, and best practices.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Security certifications such as OSCP are a plus.
