Bastion enables financial institutions and enterprises to issue regulated stablecoins, generate revenue on reserves, and expand their ecosystems. Bastion’s platform combines stablecoin issuance, secure custody, and seamless orchestration for cross-border transfers, on/off-ramps, and stablecoin conversions. With Bastion’s platform and APIs, businesses can create and scale their stablecoin network, while optimizing revenue, compliance, and control.
Bastion is hiring a Detection & Response Security Engineer to be the second security team member, helping build the foundation for our incident response and threat detection programs.

Educate Bastion employees on secure engineering and operational practices through tailored trainings and documentation. Integrate security best practices into Bastion’s infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD workflows to reduce risk by design.

Strong scripting or software development skills in at least one language: Python, Go, Rust, or TypeScript. Experience participating in or leading incident response investigations and postmortems.
Nice to Haves:
Experience in Web3 security, including blockchain infrastructure. Exposure to regulatory or compliance frameworks such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001. Experience implementing security controls in CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code environments (e.g., Terraform, GitHub Actions).
