Senior Threat Intelligence Engineer

Trail of BitsFounded in 2012 by 3 expert hackers with no investment capital, Trail of Bits is the premier place for security experts to boldly advance security and address technology's newest and most challenging risks. It has helped secure some of the world's most targeted organizations and devices. Our combination of novel research with practical solutions reduces the security risks that our clients face from emerging technologies. Our work helps drive the security industry and the public understanding of the technology underlying our world.
Cybersecurity preparedness is a moving target. Companies like ours are the tip of the spear in the fight against attackers. Our research-based and custom-engineering approach ensures that our client's capabilities are at the forefront of what's available. For companies and technologies that live and die by their security, a proactive, tailored approach is required to keep one step ahead of attackers.
Democratizing security information is essential. As part of our business, we provide ongoing informational support through blogs, whitepapers, newsletters, meetups, and open-source tools. The more the community understands security, the more they'll understand why a company like ours is so unique and valuable.
We're hiring a Senior Security Engineer for the Cryptography team to review and strengthen high-assurance software and cryptographic systems used across technology, finance, defense, and blockchain. You will evaluate whether cryptographic designs and implementations deliver the security properties they claim, find subtle failures where theory meets code, and help clients make sound decisions about risk and remediation.
On a typical engagement, you might review a new protocol, analyze an implementation of a standard primitive, test assumptions in a post-quantum construction, or build tooling that makes future assessments faster and more rigorous. The work spans code review, cryptanalysis, threat modeling, technical writing, and direct collaboration with client engineers.
This is a senior individual-contributor role. You will independently lead substantial parts of engagements, exercise judgment when the problem is ambiguous, communicate clearly with clients and peers, and help raise the technical bar for the cryptography team. You will also have room to contribute to open-source tools, public research, and new service offerings.
You will work within the Cryptography practice in our Assurance team, alongside engineers who review complex, high-assurance systems. Engagement teams are intentionally collaborative, but senior engineers are expected to own their technical lane, know when to pull in specialized expertise, and help clients move from a finding to a defensible engineering decision.
These are not day-one requirements, but they can help you contribute more quickly or broaden the role over time.
The base salary range for this full-time position is $165,000 to $220,000, plus potential bonus. Compensation is informed by geographic location, relevant experience, and internal equity. These figures represent starting compensation for U.S.-based candidates. For specifics, please discuss with your recruiter during the hiring process.
Trail of Bits offers a comprehensive benefits package including health insurance, retirement contributions, professional development stipends, and generous PTO.
