> Security engineer on internal Red Team stress-testing blockchain infrastructure by hunting vulnerabilities, building Rust fuzzers, simulating economic attacks, and dissecting EVM internals. Requires Rust fluency, EVM expertise, and proven offensive security track record like CTFs or bug bounties.

## Job Description

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

## Qualifications
- Fluency in reading and writing production-level code in systems languages, with a strong preference for **Rust**.
- Deep expertise in **EVM** internals, including intimate knowledge of opcodes, storage slots, gas metering, and precompiles.
- Proven track record of offensive security, such as high rankings in CTFs (e.g., Paradigm CTF), 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 the latest blockchain security research, including recent hacks and how these could have been mitigated.
