Staff/Senior Security Engineer - DeFi

Ethena Labs is actively building and deploying a suite of groundbreaking digital dollar products aiming to upgrade money into the internet era.

Our flagship product, USDe, is a synthetic dollar backed by digital assets, and takes the novel approach of using a delta-neutral hedged basis strategy to maintain its peg. This product scaled from zero to $15b in 18 months.

Expanding on this, iUSDe is designed specifically for traditional financial institutions, incorporating necessary compliance features to enable them to access the crypto-native rewards our protocol generates, in an institutional-friendly manner.

Ethena has also developed USDtb: a fiat backed GENIUS compliant stablecoin in partnership with BlackRock which has scaled to ~$2b.

These products are also offered in a whitelabel stablecoin offering where any application, chain, wallet or exchange can launch their own stablecoin on Ethena's back-end infrastructure.

Through these offerings, Ethena Labs is not just creating new financial products; we are building the foundational infrastructure for a more open, efficient, and interconnected global financial system.

Open job offerings will be focused on two new major product lines coming to market in the next few months.

The Role 

We're hiring a Staff/Senior Security Engineer to lead our signing and treasury security program across wallets and custodian accounts. This is a high-impact, mission-critical role at the core of our business. Operating within the security department, you will partner closely with our core DeFi and trading teams to provide an objective security perspective while engineering safe, streamlined operational workflows.

Your mission is to own the verification layer between operator intent and signature: independently confirming destination addresses, approvals, and calldata against on-chain truth, never just what a UI displays. The work bridges complex on-chain security with daily operations, securing defensible audit trails, robust infrastructure, and controls built to scale with Ethena's growth.
