The AppSec team is pivotal in helping us secure our ecosystem. We are part of the Security team with a mission of reducing the impact of threats to Parity and its products, bolstering their resilience against potential cyber threats.Parity has many products: blockchain clients written in Rust, mobile apps written in platform-native languages, browser-based tools and extensions written in JavaScript. We also maintain some crypto and networking libraries (mostly in Rust) and a blockchain framework used by several hundreds of third-party teams. All of this code needs to be consistently securedThis is a crucial role where you will bring your technical abilities to recognise and reduce risk to the ecosystem and be able to effectively influence a wide group of stakeholders.It is a unique opportunity to help secure an innovative organisation where feedback is direct and honest and understands that a check box approach doesn’t get results.

Minimum Qualifications
- Strong knowledge of secure coding practices
- Risk based approach and pragmatism in order to enhance level of security in partnership with different stakeholders
