Infrastructure Auditing: Comprehensive knowledge of IT infrastructure components, with a specialized focus on independently auditing the resilience, scalability, and security of blockchain nodes, low-latency trading systems, and high-availability wallet infrastructure.

Cloud Computing Platform Auditing: Expert-level auditing of cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP) specifically for mission-critical crypto workloads, including container orchestration (Kubernetes), serverless functions, multi-region deployments, and ensuring geo-redundancy for key assets.

Operating System (OS) Auditing (for Blockchain Nodes & Exchange Servers): Deep dive capability to assess the hardening, patching, kernel configurations, and user access controls for operating systems hosting blockchain nodes, trading engines, and critical exchange services.

Networking Auditing: Advanced knowledge of networking protocols, DDoS mitigation strategies, and the ability to audit low-latency, high-throughput network architectures essential for competitive crypto exchange operations, including peering arrangements and BGP configurations.

Virtualization & Containerization Auditing: Expertise in independently auditing virtualized environments and container orchestration platforms (Docker, Kubernetes) specifically for secure isolation of critical workloads, supply chain security for container images, and resource management to prevent denial-of-service.

Storage System Auditing: Ability to independently assess the security, integrity, availability, and immutability of storage systems (SAN, NAS, object storage) for critical blockchain data, cryptographic keys, and sensitive audit logs.

DevOps Auditing: Deep understanding of DevOps principles (e.g., build, test, release), automation, and continuous delivery with a focus on independently auditing the security and compliance of rapid, automated deployments in a high-stakes crypto environment (e.g. GitLab, GitHub, etc.)

Secure Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) Auditing: Expertise in independently auditing CI/CD pipelines for integrated security tools (SAST, DAST, SCA), automated security gates, secure artifact management, and robust deployment controls for smart contracts and exchange software. This includes assessing the codebase, build, test, and release processes.

Automation and Scripting Auditing (for Infrastructure as Code & Smart Contracts): Ability to independently assess the security and integrity of automation scripts (e.g., Python, Go, Shell), Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation), and configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible) used to manage crypto infrastructure.

Cloud Deployment & Management Auditing (Automated & Secure): Expertise in independently auditing automated cloud provisioning, configuration, and management processes, emphasizing security best practices, least privilege, and immutable infrastructure principles for critical crypto components, as well as ongoing maintenance and management.

Agile Development Methodologies Auditing: Ability to independently assess the deep integration of security activities and controls within agile development processes, including proactive threat modeling for new features, security champions within development teams, and rigorous peer review for smart contract code.

Code Review & Secure Coding Practices: Familiarity with secure coding principles for languages commonly used in blockchain development (e.g. Solidity, Rust, Go, Python) and the ability to independently evaluate the effectiveness of code review processes for identifying operational and security flaws.

Risk Management Principles for Infrastructure & DevOps Auditing: Advanced grasp of risk identification, assessment, mitigation, and monitoring methodologies specifically tailored to the high-stakes, real-time, and often irreversible nature of crypto transactions.

Knowledge of Specific Regulatory Requirements impacting Infrastructure & DevOps: Understanding of specific regulatory requirements impacting crypto exchanges globally (e.g., anti-money laundering (AML), combating the financing of terrorism (CFT) as per FATF, sanctions compliance, specific licensing requirements for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs)) and how these translate to technical controls relevant to infrastructure and DevOps.

Who are we?

We believe Ethereum has the potential to solve some of humanity’s most crucial coordination issues. Since our initial inception as a research group, we have sought to scale both its technology and values.

At present, the most pressing bottleneck to the growth of Ethereum is its performance and scalability. We are building the most elegant solution to this problem. We do this in the open (under an MIT open source license) because we believe in open source innovation and its ability to accelerate growth.

OP Labs contributes to the Optimism protocol, an extension to Ethereum that scales both its technology and values. Optimism enables orders of magnitude of improved performance and scalability to Ethereum while doubling down on its commitment to public goods.

The Optimism Collective leads the blockchain protocol landscape, dedicated to fostering a scalable and sustainable ecosystem. Optimism’s ethos, in sync with Ethereum's vision, tackles pivotal coordination challenges of the digital age. Optimism’s goal is to harmonize private incentives with public good, shaping a resilient future for the Internet. Optimism’s scope spans diverse areas like Gaming, DeFi, NFTs, and Enterprise.
