Mysten Labs believes that decentralized and open protocols are the bedrock of the internet of value. This is why at Mysten Labs, we are creating foundational infrastructure to accelerate the adoption of decentralized protocols based on blockchain technologies.

Security engineers own the operational and software security of the Sui blockchain, wallet, Move language, and other Mysten systems. 

Security engineers support and work closely with the engineers working on the sensitive components of these systems. In addition, they are the key points of contact for audit engagements and bug bounty reports.
