## About the Role

* Primary Environment: Predominantly Windows software, with some Linux.

Primary Requirement: First-Principle Systems Knowledge

 * Candidates must deeply understand how a computer functions at a low level, regardless of the operating system or software stack running on it.

 * The ability to explain core concepts fundamental to modern computing is mandatory, as this foundation is required to effectively reason about security.

 * Hiring managers will actively filter for this low-level understanding by looking for hands-on work experience, projects, or hobbies in the following areas:

 * Compiler or Operating System design.

 * Writing a debugger.

 * Computer hardware design (especially secure hardware), including hardware interfacing and instrumentation.

 * Code optimization.

 * Emulation or Virtualization implementation and design (e.g., utilizing frameworks like QEMU for advanced testing or manipulation). Note: Merely using virtualization technologies as an end-user is insufficient.

 * Vintage computing.

Technical Responsibilities & Capabilities

 * Reverse Engineering & Analysis: Perform reverse engineering on binaries and conduct network analysis (e.g., interception, decryption) to uncover vulnerabilities, hidden data exfiltration, or unauthorized behaviors.

 * Tooling: Familiarity with reverse engineering tools like Binary Ninja is a plus, but tool-agnostic capabilities are expected. Candidates who build custom offensive tooling, fuzzing frameworks, or automated testing protocols strongly align with the desired profile.

 * Security Validation: Ensure software complies with internal security guidelines and internal policies (e.g., restricting unauthorized network connections).

 * Collaboration: Work closely with internal domain experts, platform engineering teams, frontline support, and end users to deliver findings and suggest practical, balanced workarounds.

Experience & Qualifications

 * Experience Level: 3-5+ years of relevant experience (mid-to-senior level).

 * Valued Backgrounds: Prior experience in network/system administration, broad technical understanding of process flows, or participation in Capture-the-Flag (CTF) competitions.

 * Certifications: Not required or prioritized; demonstrable, hands-on skills take strict precedence over formal certifications.
