Site Reliability Engineer Intern - Summer

With over 30,000 customers, including a third of Fortune 500 companies, Tempo is trusted by organizations across the globe to make their workflows work better.

We create a suite of integrated solutions for time management, resource planning, budget management, road mapping, program management, reporting and more. We create the tech that enables the modern team to deliver - for every step from first vision to value.

Since our beginning in 2007 as a project to make a time‑tracking tool to help a client – Tempo has expanded to become the #1 time management add‑on for Jira, and we have developed and acquired a multitude of tools to become one of the most trusted names in the Atlassian ecosystem.

We want everyone to work better - but we also want to be a tech company with a heart. Join us as we continuously innovate our award‑winning products, create new solutions, and help the world work smarter, not harder.

As a Security Engineer Intern, you’ll join Tempo’s engineering team and get hands‑on experience contributing to the security of our infrastructure and products. You’ll support the team in identifying vulnerabilities, improving security practices, and helping build systems that are reliable, compliant, and resilient. From day one, you’ll be paired with a dedicated mentor, plugged into team rituals, and given scoped work that matters.

We’ve designed this program to feel like a genuine first job in security engineering — not a side project — with the support structure of a company that’s invested in your growth.

• Assist in identifying and remediating security vulnerabilities across infrastructure and application layers
• Support security assessments, penetration testing, and code reviews with a security lens
• Contribute to CI/CD pipeline security controls and automated security checks
• Help monitor systems for security events, anomalies, and compliance gaps
• Assist in documenting security policies, runbooks, and incident response procedures
• Collaborate with engineers across the team to embed security best practices into the development lifecycle
• Participate in team rituals including standups, sprint planning, code reviews, and retrospectives
• Present your work at the end of your term to engineers and stakeholders across the team

We’re looking for students who are curious about how systems can be secured and motivated to make them more resilient. You don’t need years of experience — you need strong fundamentals, a collaborative mindset, and the drive to figure things out when the path isn’t obvious.
