Job description

Our team is working to develop novel and innovative cybersecurity capabilities. The Software Engineer will be part of a team developing a computer exploitation framework. Working closely with reverse engineers and vulnerability researchers, this position will develop a usable framework for software exploitation running in a highly constrained environment. Particular emphasis will be on building testable exploit chains, working to ensure reliability even in an unknown environment. It’s the kind of job where you get to poke holes in real systems and look for things that make you stop and go “huh, that’s weird…” This role will go from initial analysis of target systems all the way up to testing for reliability for mission-critical scenarios.

Requirements

  • A U.S. citizen with an active Top Secret security clearance with CI Polygraph\n
  • Expertise in C/C++ (C Preferred).\n
  • Knowledge of data structures, performance optimization / tuning, multi-threading.\n
  • Expertise in at least one scripting language (Python preferred).\n, * Experience with one or more assembly languages (x86, MIPS, ARM, etc).\n
  • Experience with hardware reverse engineering.\n
  • Experience with real-time embedded systems.\n
  • Experience with signal processing.\n
