Job description

  • The Hybrid Threat Hunter: You have a solid foundation reproducing N-Days & Diffing Patches, but you don't just want to write a report and throw a PoC over the wall. You want to write the Code that Automates the Detection.
  • The Automation-Obsessed Researcher: You know your way around Ghidra, Burp & Python, and you are actively experimenting with how AI & LLMs can exponentially speed up your Triage, Code Review & Exploit Validation., * Hunt: Conduct relentless Security Research across both 0-Days & N-Days, Reverse-Engineering Patches & Performing Analysis via Patch Diffing on Source-Available & Binary-Only Targets.
  • Engineer: Build & Maintain robust Internal Tooling for Automated Vulnerability Discovery, Exploit Validation & scalable Detection Signature Generation.
  • Innovate: Implement Production-Grade LLM-Powered Workflows that push the boundaries of Offensive Security and exponentially accelerate Research Output.
  • Target: Focus exclusively on critical, high-impact weaknesses that matter (eg Remote Code Execution) rather than generating Low-Level Informational Noise (eg Weak SSL Ciphers).
  • Evangelize: Present your Original Research to the Global Cyber Security Community at top-tier conferences, fully supported and sponsored by the business.

Requirements

  • Vulnerability Research (2+ Years): Practical Real-World experience Reproducing N-Days & Performing Patch Diffing. You have a solid foundation and are ready to go much deeper.
  • Web & Binary Fundamentals: Fluidity across Vulnerability Classes. You understand what a Deserialization bug looks like and you aren't afraid of dropping into a Debugger.
  • Software Engineering: Proven prior experience Writing & Maintaining Code, with a heavy emphasis on Python.
  • Offensive Tooling: Hands-On exposure to the Core Ecosystem: Burp Suite, Ghidra / IDA, Debuggers & Fuzzers
  • AI / LLM Experimentation: Genuine interest and practical experimentation using LLMs for Code Review, Triage or Analysis, with a clear-eyed view of where they excel and where they fall short.
  • Start-Up / Scale-Up Execution: A proactive, ownership-driven mindset capable of navigating ambiguity and fast-changing priorities within a high-growth, early-stage environment
