**Company:** Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BMNR)
**Location:** San Francisco, CA, or Norwalk, CT (Preferred), or Remote within
the United States
**Employment Type:** Full-time
**Reports to:** SVP of Technology, SVP of Engineering, and VP of Engineering
**About Us**
Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BMNR) operates at the cutting edge
of digital asset infrastructure and technology. As a publicly traded company,
our team operates across the United States and globally, managing a diverse
portfolio of operations that sit uniquely at the intersection of public
blockchain protocols and capital markets.
Included within our corporate umbrella is our subsidiary, **MAVAN (Made in
America Validator Network)** , which you will support as a core part of your
scope. MAVAN is one of the largest single staking operations in the world,
providing institutional grade, non-custodial staking and node services across
a global institutional client profile.
**Job Summary**
Lead our technical security across cloud, infrastructure, and validator
systems.
We're hiring a Lead Security Engineer to own and enhance technical security
across our cloud infrastructure. You'll be our senior technical authority on
security: hardening our environments, optimising real detection and response
capability, embedding least-privilege and secure-by-default practices, and
helping a fast-moving engineering team ship safely.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll set the technical direction and do
the work, partnering closely with engineering, infrastructure, and leadership,
and with our external audit and incident-response partners. There is room to
grow a small team behind you as the function matures.
**What Success Looks Like (First 6–12 Months)**
* Comprehensive, continuously monitored visibility across our cloud infrastructure and attack surface.
* Least-privilege and short-lived access championed and consistently applied across teams.
* Detection, alerting, and tested response runbooks spanning both infrastructure and on-chain activity.
* Secure-by-default guardrails: change review, IaC checks and tooling, embedded in how the team ships.
**Key Responsibilities**
* **Cloud & Infrastructure Security:** Own and advance the security of our Google Cloud (GCP) environment; operate cloud security posture management, network segmentation, and guardrails as policy-as-code; and maintain comprehensive, continuously monitored visibility across our infrastructure.
* **Identity, Access & Secrets:** Champion least-privilege across both human and machine identities; enhance and operate short-lived, workload-bound access; and own robust secrets management and the credential lifecycle.
* **CI/CD, IaC & Supply Chain:** Secure our pipelines and infrastructure-as-code (GitLab, Terraform); champion secrets hygiene; manage third-party, dependency, and supply-chain risk; and own vulnerability and patch management.
* **Detection & Response:** Maintain detection engineering and security monitoring across infrastructure; advance our SIEM, logging, and alerting; and lead incident response, coordinating with external partners.
* **Governance & Culture:** Own change-management guardrails and security review for sensitive changes; lead threat modeling and secure-SDLC practices; and raise the bar across the team through training, security champions, and clear guidance on the "why" behind security decisions.
**Key Requirements**
* 8+ years of experience in security engineering, with real depth in cloud security, ideally GCP.
* Strong, hands-on skills across IAM and least-privilege, secrets management, and network security in cloud-native environments.
* Experience securing CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, GitLab, or equivalents).
* Detection engineering and security monitoring experience (SIEM, log pipelines, alerting), plus practical incident response.
* Solid coding/scripting ability enough to automate, build internal tooling, and review infrastructure code.
* A track record of leading technical security initiatives and influencing engineers through expertise rather than authority.
* Pragmatic judgment: you raise the security bar in a fast-moving environment while keeping the business moving.
**Bonus Points**
* Crypto / web3 security experience: key management, HSMs or threshold signing, wallet security, validator/staking infrastructure, or smart-contract security.
* Familiarity with blockchain operations, Ethereum and the broader multi-chain ecosystem.
* Endpoint and identity tooling such as Microsoft Intune/Defender or FreeIPA.
* Experience building or scaling a security function in a high-growth environment.
**What We Offer**
* **Outsized Impact:** Security is mission-critical here, with genuine leadership backing and budget (audits, tooling, headcount).
* **Ownership:** You'll define the technical security roadmap and own it end-to-end.
* **Meaningful Challenges:** Solve hard, meaningful problems at the frontier of crypto infrastructure and scale.
**Compensation and Benefits**
* **Base Salary Range:** $180,000 to $250,000 annually.
* _Actual compensation within this range will depend on location, experience, and qualifications._
