Security Engineer

Join Tempo's full-time internal Red Team to continuously stress-test its infrastructure by writing Rust fuzzers, simulating economic attacks on the testnet, dissecting the EVM, building custom security tooling, reviewing critical architecture, and analyzing game-theoretic risks.

Responsibilities

• Proactively hunt for vulnerabilities in the Tempo protocol, consensus engine, and bridge architecture.
• Design and implement security tooling and automation with the Foundry team to catch logic errors and edge cases.
• Partner with engineering teams to review critical architecture across the codebase.
• Analyze incentives and game-theoretic risks within the protocol, such as MEV and staking dynamics, to prevent economic exploits.

Requirements

• Fluency in reading and writing production-level code in systems languages, with a strong preference for Rust.
• Deep expertise in EVM internals, including opcodes, storage slots, gas metering, and precompiles.
• Proven offensive security track record, such as high CTF rankings, high-severity bug bounty submissions, or published research.
• Experience building custom security automation or tooling rather than relying solely on off-the-shelf scanners.
• Bleeding-edge knowledge of blockchain security research, including recent hacks and mitigations.
