  • Develop tools and techniques to assist/automate tasks that traditionally require significant manual reverse engineering effort to include Binary patching, Vulnerability research, and Binary fingerprinting
  • Perform in depth reverse engineering on complex linux based applications
  • Follow-on development to productize results/PoCs or handoff to developer for productization
  • Provide technical leadership and direction on multiple ongoing projects, and interface directly with clients/key stakeholders to present findings and gather design constraints

Minimum Qualifications

  • Minimum of 5 years of experience with programming/scripting languages (e.g., C, C++, Java, Python) and Linux
  • Minimum of 5 years experience executing cybersecurity principles and a strong interest in learning more
  • Experience with static analysis or software reverse engineering
  • Familiarity with tools and techniques for binary analysis
  • Experience with dynamic analysis, fuzzing techniques, and debugging

Nice If You Have

  • Experience in a client-facing technical role
  • Experience with IDA or Ghidra reverse engineering toolsets
  • Bachelor’s (or higher) degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field
  • Experience reverse engineering binary payloads from multiple architectures (ARM, MIPS, TI, x86, x64)
