Security Researcher

You will work with a range of clients from the country’s largest ISPs to critical infrastructure providers to innovative tech startups. You will become a trusted advisor while learning and performing valuable technical and industry skills. This role is technical at its core – with a strong focus on in-depth reverse engineering, exploit development, as well as the development of tools to aid in the reverse engineering process.

Since we are a small team, you will not be lost in the shuffle. You will be a key player in a fast paced team, owning your own projects and developing client relationships.  You will have access to top experts in the field with experience across a range of domains and will have numerous opportunities to define your work.

Job Responsibilities & Duties

• Experience with software reverse engineering concepts: static analysis, dynamic analysis, fuzzing techniques
• Bachelor’s (or higher) degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field (solid knowledge in RE or VR may substitute for a specific degree)
• Expert command of low-level programming languages (C and at least one assembly language), scripting languages (e.g., Python), and the *nix command line

Nice to have, but not expected:
