Aave

Protocol Security Researcher

About

About us   Aave Labs began with a simple question: how do we make financial services like borrowing, saving, and earning more accessible globally?   We built the Aave Protocol, now the world’s largest and most trusted onchain lending market, connecting decentralized finance with individuals, traditional finance, and fintech.   Today, we build trusted, high-quality products that expand access to lending, credit, and savings globally   Our culture   We build trusted products that help people access and discover economic opportunities.   We hold a high bar for quality and craftsmanship. No detail is too small. Trust depends on it.   We’re a global team building products people can actually use, turning complex technology into something simple and reliable.   We stay aligned, move quickly, and think long term, while keeping teams lean and focused on impact.   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.
