## About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Linux Developer with strong reverse engineering capabilities to support advanced research, systems development, and threat analysis. This role requires deep knowledge of the Linux operating system internals, low-level programming, and the ability to analyze and deconstruct binaries for vulnerabilities, malware, or undocumented system behavior., * Active TS/SCI clearance.

 * Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
 * Previous experience in Linux kernel development.
 * Proficient in C/C++ for systems-level programming.
 * Expertise with reverse engineering tools such as IDA Pro, Ghidra, x64dbg, and Hex-Rays.
 * In-depth understanding of Linux internals (e.g., kernel-mode drivers, memory management, system calls, PE file format).
 * Experience with kernel-mode debugging and root cause analysis.
 * Familiarity with secure coding practices and low-level exploit mitigation techniques (e.g., PatchGuard, CFG, DEP/ASLR).
 * Strong understanding of malware behavior and techniques (if cybersecurity-focused).

## Description

* Design, develop, and maintain low-level kernel-mode components, drivers, and subsystems for Linux platforms.
 * Perform reverse engineering of Linux binaries (both legitimate and malicious) to understand system behavior, exploits, or undocumented APIs.
 * Conduct vulnerability research and proof-of-concept exploit development.
 * Analyze crash dumps, root cause bugs, and provide kernel-level debugging and troubleshooting support.
 * Collaborate with cybersecurity researchers, analysts, and software engineers to support security-focused development efforts.
 * Document findings, architecture, and procedures clearly for internal teams or external clients.
