Job description

About the Company

Born from groundbreaking research at Columbia University and Yale University, CertiK is a leading Web3 security company focused on securing blockchain protocols, smart contracts, and decentralized applications through cutting-edge security research, formal verification, and AI-powered technology. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in New York City, CertiK provides end-to-end security solutions including smart contract audits, penetration testing, on-chain monitoring, incident response, and compliance services for some of the largest projects in the digital asset ecosystem.

Today, CertiK supports thousands of enterprise clients and Web3 projects globally, with a distributed international team spanning North America, Asia, and Europe. The company is backed by leading investors including Coatue, Goldman Sachs, Insight Partners, and Sequoia Capital, and has been recognized by organizations such as the World Economic Forum and CB Insights for its contributions to blockchain security innovation.

About This Role

This role is for a Web3 security researcher who can act as a public face for CertiK. This means having a strong social media presence, speaking at conferences, and being openly helpful to the wider security community. This doesn't mean you have to have tens of thousands of followers on X, but you do need to be comfortable interacting with the general public. The specific type of security researcher is flexible - contract/chain auditors, pen testers, engineers, and multi-talented individuals can apply. This is a great role for a generalist.

Work closely with the Web3 Task Force Team to create stronger connections to the blockchain ecosystem.
Speak at conferences about your area of expertise on behalf of CertiK.
Complete interviews about various Web3 security topics.
Perform tasks cross-functionally among the various teams at CertiK.
Support the marketing and feedback collection of CertiK’s products and services.

Requirements

3+ years of experience in the Web3 space.
Strong social media presence and high visibility.
Experience speaking at conferences or in front of large audiences.
Strong technical skills in the areas of web3 security or related fields.

Bonus Points

Large number of social media followers.
Previous experience being the public face of an organization.
