About Sherlock

Sherlock believes that a sound currency and functioning financial system should be basic human rights. Sherlock’s mission is to help create an open, uncensorable financial system that is secure enough for billions of people to trust with their life savings. Smart contract auditing is a good start, but it’s not enough. That’s why Sherlock provides protocols with state-of-the-art, incentive-aligned audit contests as well as smart contract coverage.

Sherlock is the only audit provider that includes coverage after an audit. Sherlock customers get up to $250k of bug bounty and exploit coverage for the first month of launch after every audit. No other auditor includes any coverage. Sherlock is also the only auditor to serve a customer’s full security needs, including collaborative audits, audit contests, bug bounties, and coverage.

Sherlock’s audit contests combine the best of traditional auditing with a competitive twist that results in hundreds of eyes looking at the codebase, and some of the best security experts in the world surfacing issues that traditional audits miss. Sherlock is the leader in auditing, running more public audits than any other provider last year. The Ethereum Foundation, Aave, Optimism, MakerDAO (now Sky) and the biggest crypto teams in the world choose Sherlock for their security needs.

Sherlock’s Culture

• Mission-focus: Anyone in this for reasons other than creating the best human coordination mechanism in history will either get too demotivated to last through multi-year bear markets or get too distracted during the frothy bull markets.
• Willingness to work long, hard and smart: If Sherlock has any advantage, it is the willingness to work harder and think with more discipline than anyone else.
• Owner mentality: Team members get ownership in Sherlock after a short time in this role, and each is expected to act like an owner of a Michelin-star restaurant where no detail is too small.
• Builder mentality: Everyone at Sherlock is deep in the arena getting their hands dirty; there are no pure “idea people” or managers at Sherlock.
• Customer focus: The default assumption should be that the customer is always right.
• Professional athlete mentality: This creates an environment that brings out the best in people and rewards each for their respective performance.
• Comfort with directness and transparency: You must be comfortable giving direct feedback to others and receiving direct feedback yourself.

The Role

Sherlock is the leading audit provider in Web3 security (by number of public audits in 2024). Sherlock regularly finds vulnerabilities that other top audit teams miss. However, the crypto ecosystem gets larger every day and Sherlock is not well-known by all teams. This is where Sherlock needs your help.

Your role is simple: Find high-quality existing and up-and-coming protocol teams in crypto and get them on a call with an account executive at Sherlock. In practice, this role involves a lot of skills. A strong understanding of DeFi and smart contract security is a plus, but it’s not needed to get started in this role. You’ll need to be very skilled at writing. Astute founders can tell the difference between native English, ChatGPT, and intermediate English in only a couple sentences.

The day-to-day responsibilities of this role include:

• Sourcing and setting up calls with protocol teams (10x weight)
• Improving your outreach strategy and tracking leads in the CRM (5x weight)
• Being extremely hungry/driven and ready to wear a different hat on any given day to help Sherlock succeed (5x weight)
• Helping out with marketing/events/social media campaigns where relevant to get more inbound/attention for Sherlock (1x weight)

• Should have (or quickly develop) an edge at getting in touch with high-quality protocol teams
• Should be competitive and driven to succeed in bringing customers to Sherlock
• Should have a strong belief in the future potential of crypto
• Should understand and share the cultural values of Sherlock listed in “Sherlock’s Culture” above

Nice to Haves

• Proficiency in Solidity/Python
• Proficiency in Solidity smart contract security

What’s in it for you

• Flexible time-off policy
• Fully remote and flexible workstyle gives you the autonomy to live and work how you want
• Optional access to shared working space at your local WeWork or equivalent

• Multiple off-sites each year in places like Thailand, Colombia, Portugal, etc.
• There is no better place to build your dream network and no better place to learn about new technologies
• Root access to the decision-making process/criteria in all areas of Sherlock and the ability to work directly with the founders
• Move quickly and get stuff done on a small, elite team that is making a big impact in the crypto space
• Play a huge role in defining the future of Sherlock and accomplishing the goal of making crypto/DeFi accessible to everyone
