Job Description:
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 PayPal, Venmo,
Mastercard and Interactive Brokers. About the team The Information
Security team is a specialized, deeply technical, and vigilant
group tasked with protecting our digital assets, customer funds,
and sensitive data against a sophisticated threat landscape. The
team has many pillars, such as Application and Blockchain Security,
Cloud Security, Security Operations, GRC, and IT. About the role As
a Technical Program Manager (TPM) at Paxos, you will be responsible
for planning, executing, and delivering complex, cross-functional
security programs that protect our platform, infrastructure, data,
and users assets. You will work closely with Engineering, Product
Management, Legal, Compliance, Operations, and other teams to
ensure our security posture is robust, scalable, and aligned with
industry best practices and evolving regulatory requirements
specific to the finance and cryptocurrency space. What you’ll do
Program Leadership: Define, manage, and drive the execution of
multiple security programs simultaneously, including scope,
timelines, resources, risk management, and success metrics.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as the primary liaison between
the Security team and other departments (Engineering, Product,
Legal, Compliance, Operations, etc.) to ensure seamless integration
of security requirements and controls across the product lifecycle
and business operations. Regulatory & Compliance Integration:
Understand and translate relevant security regulations and
compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, NYDFS, MAS,
DORA) into actionable technical security programs and projects.
Technical Security Understanding: Engage with engineering teams on
security initiatives related to infrastructure security,
application security, vulnerability management, incident response,
identity and access management, cryptography, and securing digital
assets. Risk Management: Identify, assess, track, and mitigate
risks and dependencies associated with security programs. Develop
contingency plans and proactively address potential roadblocks.
Stakeholder Communication: Clearly and effectively communicate
program status, risks, and dependencies to technical teams, senior
management, and other stakeholders. Tailor communication
appropriately for different audiences. About you Bachelors degree
in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Security, or a
related technical field, or equivalent practical experience. 7
years of experience in Technical Program Management or Project
Management, preferably within a technology company. 3 years of
direct experience managing complex, cross-functional
security-focused programs. Proven ability to work effectively
across diverse teams (engineering, product, legal, compliance,
operations) and influence without direct authority. Strong
understanding of core information security principles, concepts,
and technologies (e.g., network security, cloud security,
application security, cryptography basics, IAM, incident response).
Demonstrated experience working with security compliance frameworks
(e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST) and translating requirements into
technical deliverables. Excellent organizational, communication
(written and verbal), and interpersonal skills. Strong
problem-solving skills and the ability to navigate ambiguity in a
fast-paced environment. Pay and benefits Paxos offers a competitive
total compensation and benefits package, including equity and
bonuses based on both your individual performance and company
performance. Eligibility for bonuses is dependent on job level, and
actual salary within the range depends on your skills, experience,
and qualifications. Expected range for the base salary component
