Full Job Description

ABOUT MATTER LABS Matter Labs builds private settlement infrastructure that lets regulated institutions settle directly with each other without exposing data, ceding control, or waiting days. Global finance moves $4 quadrillion a year on systems designed for paper and telex. The institutions that built them - from DTCC to NYSE to the world's largest banks are now actively replacing them. We're building what comes next. Our core product, Prividium, gives each institution its own private settlement environment (a Prividium Zone) with independent governance and built-in interoperability across counterparties, asset classes, and jurisdictions. Settlement happens through zero-knowledge proofs: one party proves a transaction is valid without revealing any underlying data to the counterparty. The only private settlement infrastructure built on zero-knowledge cryptography. Founded in 2018. Backed by a16z and Union Square Ventures. A fully remote team of around 90 with eight years of production zero-knowledge infrastructure behind us, now pointed at the biggest problem in institutional finance. ABOUT THE ROLE Join Matter Labs as a Senior Infrastructure Security Engineer and help secure the corporate and production infrastructure that powers ZKsync. You'll own defenses across identity, endpoint, and detection-and-response. You'll partner closely with IT Ops, DevOps, Protocol Security, and Engineering to make security a default property of how we operate, not a checkpoint. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building durable detections instead of triaging noise, and is motivated by the mission of protecting open-source, decentralized infrastructure. Matter Labs runs a deliberately lean, high-leverage security organization. You won't be one of fifty detection engineers. You'll own the corporate detection-and-response stack and have a direct line to the people building ZKsync. The work matters: this infrastructure protects an open-source ecosystem, the team behind it, and
