Security Engineer

Tempo is hiring a Security Engineer for its internal Red Team to test protocol, consensus, bridge, and EVM security continuously.

About the Role

The internal Red Team stress-tests Tempo's infrastructure through offensive research, custom tooling, fuzzing, and economic-attack simulation.

The role focuses on practical protocol security rather than compliance-only review.

Responsibilities

Core Responsibilities

• Hunt proactively for vulnerabilities in the Tempo protocol, consensus engine, and bridge architecture.
• Treat the testnet and mainnet threat model as a continuous security challenge.
• Design and implement security tooling and automation with the Foundry team.
• Review critical architecture across the codebase with engineering teams.
• Analyze game-theoretic and incentive risks, including MEV and staking dynamics.
• Use fuzzing, custom testing, and offensive techniques to identify logic and execution edge cases.

Requirements

Required Experience and Skills

• Fluency reading and writing production systems code, with a strong preference for Rust.
• Deep knowledge of EVM internals, opcodes, storage slots, gas metering, and precompiles.
• A record of offensive-security work demonstrated through CTF rankings, high-severity bounty reports, or published research.
• Experience building custom security automation or tools rather than relying only on standard scanners.
• Current knowledge of blockchain-security research, recent attacks, and mitigation approaches.
• Precise, evidence-based communication, strong organization, curiosity, and hands-on execution.
