Software Engineer - malware classification algorithms team

ReversingLabs was founded in 2009 with the mission of offering organizations the ultimate in threat detection solutions. In 2017, we were honored to receive the JPMorgan Chase Hall of Innovation Award for our truly unique, automated, and scalable static file analysis, malware classification and malware hunting technologies. Our pioneering technologies, exceptional products, and successful customer deployments also drove a $25 million investment in ReversingLabs, backed by some of the savviest investors in the world. With our center of development excellence located in Zagreb, and offices in the United States and Switzerland, ReversingLabs is poised to achieve rapid growth and deliver groundbreaking innovation in 2021.

The core of the ReversingLabs’ mission is to provide the most accurate and complete file classification - and to do it quickly. To achieve that, every file is analyzed and put in context with data gathered from billions of other files. All this data contains clues pointing to the nature of the file: is it malicious or benign, and why?

Our malware classification algorithms team tries to answer that question. They are responsible for development and maintenance of industrial grade classification algorithms with supporting infrastructure for data processing with high ingestion rates. The infrastructure is based on distributed systems and microservices architecture.

Their solutions must be lightweight, fast and scalable, capable of providing file reputation for over hundreds of million files each day.

ReversingLabs is looking for people interested in joining our malware classification algorithms team. You will get a chance to improve our existing big data solutions, and an opportunity to create new responses to the ever-changing cyber security landscape.
