About Paxos

Today’s financial infrastructure is archaic, expensive, inefficient and risky — supporting a system that leaves out more people than it lets in. So we’re rebuilding it.

We’re on a mission to open the world’s financial system to everyone by enabling the instant movement of any asset, any time, in a trustworthy way. For over a decade, we’ve built blockchain infrastructure that tokenizes, custodies, trades and settles assets for the world’s leading financial institutions, like Mastercard, Visa, Robinhood, and PayPal.

The Opportunity

As a Senior Security Operations Engineer, you will serve on the front lines of our security program, helping protect the organization by detecting, investigating, and containing threats across our endpoints, cloud infrastructure, and network.

• You have advanced hands-on experience with SIEM and EDR platforms, including building and tuning detections, improving signal quality, reducing false positives, and shaping detection strategy based on evolving threats.

• You think like a builder and continuously identify opportunities to automate repetitive security workflows, including applying AI thoughtfully to improve the speed, consistency, and scale of investigations and response.

• You are skilled at applying threat intelligence, including IOCs, TTP…
