Auros is a global digital asset liquidity provider operating 24/7 across centralised and decentralised markets. We run high-availability, low-latency systems where resilience and risk discipline matter. Security is treated as a core engineering and risk function, with direct engagement from senior leadership.
We're hiring a hands-on principal security engineer to implement and operate security controls across our infrastructure. This is a technical execution role where you'll be writing code, configuring systems, and shipping security improvements, not writing policies or managing people.
You'll work closely with Infrastructure and Engineering teams to harden our cloud environments, secure our CI/CD pipelines, and protect both corporate and production systems. We believe security should enable the business, not obstruct it. You'll design controls that are effective but unobtrusive, security that works in the background without creating friction for engineers or traders.
