Senior C Engineer

The key management team in Fireblocks is responsible for the software components that govern the creation, management and usage of cryptographic keys, in the context of making on-chain and off-chain operations for our clients, directly handling the most sensitive and secret bits of information within the Fireblocks platform, while operating in an extremely adversarial environment. You'll take part in building and maintaining Fireblock's key-management system, it's backup-and-recovery infrastructure and it's cold & hot wallet offerings. As part of your role you'll implement cryptographic algorithms and protocols, explore possible integrations (for example, with hardware security modules, to securely store and manage cryptographic keys), design and implement backup and recovery procedures, improve the performance of cryptographic operations such as reducing the time it takes to generate keys or sign data, all while ensuring that all cryptographic operations are performed in the most secure manner and while taking into consideration scalability aspects.
