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.
About the Team
The Cloud Security team is responsible for keeping Paxos' cloud-native infrastructure secure, resilient, and compliant as we scale. We partner closely with Product Engineering, Platform, SRE, and Compliance to design and operate secure-by-default AWS and Kubernetes platforms that power mission-critical payments, stablecoin, and brokerage products. The team owns core security capabilities like identity and access management, network segmentation, secrets management, logging and monitoring, and incident response across our multi-account, multi-cluster environment.
About the Role
As the Engineering Manager, Cloud Security at Paxos, you will lead a team of security engineers responsible for securing our AWS and Kubernetes infrastructure end-to-end. You'll combine deep hands-on security engineering experience with strong people leadership to design Zero Trust architectures, harden critical services, and build automated guardrails that enable product teams to move fast safely.
You will set the technical direction for cloud security, lead high-pressure incident response when needed, and grow a high-performing team that treats "security as an enabler," not a bottleneck. Your leadership will champion a culture of security across Paxos through education, documentation, and close collaboration, helping teams ship secure systems quickly and confidently.

Paxos is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
