As a Red Team member, work independently to establish vulnerability research environments, assess the operational impact and understand the root-cause, and design proof-of-concept (PoC) mitigations. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to: * Threat intelligence and research synthesis: Research open-source intelligence, web forums, and security advisories to track adversarial tactics, techniques, and procedures. Develop and contribute to internal vulnerability databases to ensure threat signatures and severity metrics are accurate. * Vulnerability discovery and analysis: Conduct static and dynamic analysis on applications and system components. Perform source code reviews to locate logical flaws, memory corruption vulnerabilities, and cryptographic weaknesses. * Mitigation and remediation support: Use debugging, disassembling, and binary analysis tools to reverse-engineer compiled binaries. Develop functional, stable PoC exploits to validate the severity and reachability of discovered flaws. Triage crash reports generated by automated testing tools, determine if a vulnerability is exploitable or a denial-of-service (DoS) state. Collaborate with software developers and engineering teams to design and implement robust, long-term patches. * Technical documentation and reporting: Prepare comprehensive, clear, and actionable technical reports detailing the vulnerability, root cause, impact, and reproduction steps. Translate complex binary and code-level findings into clear risk assessments for stakeholders and system administrators. * Other duties consistent with the statement of work. * This is an on-site position but may be eligible for compressed work schedule. ## Related Videos - [Kubernetes and Microservices with Multi-Model Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/382-kubernetes-and-microservices-with-multi-model-databases) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [Fault Tolerance and Consistency at Scale: Harnessing the Power of Distributed SQL Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1146-fault-tolerance-and-consistency-at-scale-harnessing-the-power-of-distributed-sql-databases) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [You can’t hack what you can’t see](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/41-you-can-t-hack-what-you-can-t-see) ## Related Articles - [Dev Digest 134 - Where pixels sing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/477-dev-digest-134-where-pixels-sing) - [9 Ways to Make Money Hacking](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/333-9-ways-to-make-money-hacking) - [Events like RSAC Get You CISOs.
