Product Security Engineer

Tempo is a layer-1 blockchain purpose-built for stablecoins and real-world payments. The Product Security Engineer will be Tempo’s first dedicated product security engineer, building application and infrastructure security, developing security tooling, responding to incidents, and partnering with engineering to secure production systems and development pipelines.

Responsibilities:

• Build and deploy security tooling across endpoint management, supply-chain security, infrastructure, and application layers
• Identify and remediate security gaps across Tempo's production systems and development pipelines
• Lead incident response end-to-end: triage, containment, remediation, and post-mortems
• Partner with engineering on secure design reviews and operational security decisions
• Establish repeatable, practical security practices for how systems are built, deployed, monitored, and secured
• Improve supply-chain security across dependencies, build systems, and deployment artifacts
• Scale application-security coverage as Tempo's infrastructure and product surface grow
• Operate with autonomy, build what's needed without waiting for large-company support structures

Requirements:

• 5–8 years of hands-on product or application security engineering experience
• Track record building security practices at a company in the 100–500 person range, or similar environments with limited existing security infrastructure
• Hands-on coding ability: you build security tooling, automation, and detection, not just recommendations
• Deep incident-response experience including high-severity situations owned end-to-end
• Strong infrastructure security knowledge: hosting environments, network security, monitoring, and securing system integrations
• Application security fundamentals: threat modeling, secure code review, vulnerability management, supply-chain security
• Comfortable communicating technical security decisions to engineers with real depth and specificity
