About the Role

Aave is looking for a Protocol Security Researcher to help build its internal protocol security function.

The role sits at the intersection of smart contract security, protocol design, adversarial research, and AI-assisted review. You will help assess major protocol changes before deployment, maintain security context across Aave’s deployed systems, and reason about the risks introduced by critical dependencies, integrations, and Aave-adjacent infrastructure.

This is not a narrow audit role. The goal is to improve Aave’s ability to understand and reduce protocol risk continuously.
