About Us

Turnkey builds secure, developer-first infrastructure for private key management, making it simple to create wallets, sign transactions, and automate on-chain actions through one elegant API – without ever exposing sensitive key material.

Our mission is to secure the open internet by making strong cryptography and key management the default. Turnkey was founded by the team behind Coinbase Custody – the world’s largest and most secure crypto custodian – whose work has helped protect over $100B in crypto across the industry.

Turnkey's team is low-ego, high-agency, and high-autonomy with more than 100 years of combined experience in cryptography, security, and low-level systems, building reliable infrastructure used at scale.

In this role, you’ll protect Turnkey’s people, endpoints, SaaS, identity systems, and internal
infrastructure, securing our distributed workforce while enabling the team to move quickly without compromising safety.

  • Lead initiatives around endpoint hardening, access controls, and vendor risk; conduct security design reviews, risk assessments, and vulnerability remediation; develop and enforce security policies and best practices.

• Detection, Response & Automation

  • Respond to security incidents with urgency and technical depth; collaborate on detection rules, alerts, and monitoring; automate workflows and create runbooks and playbooks to scale security operations efficiently.
