Description

  • Design, develop, and validate novel vulnerability discovery and exploitation capabilities against complex software and systems.
  • Perform expert reverse engineering of binaries at the x86-64, ARM64, and related architecture levels using industry-standard tools.
  • Identify and exploit real-world vulnerability classes such as use-after-free, type confusion, integer truncation, and buffer overflow.
  • Discover new vulnerabilities in complex systems rather than only exploiting known issues.
  • Apply current vulnerability research to uncover new instances of known vulnerability classes.
  • Use both manual analysis and automated techniques such as fuzzing for vulnerability discovery.
  • Code and debug complex functions in C, Python, and Assembly.
  • Independently scope, research, experiment, validate, and iterate on research objectives.
  • Travel to customer sites and perform work on-site for extended periods as required.

Requirements

  • Experience with reverse engineering binaries using tools such as Binary Ninja, Ghidra, or IDA Pro.
  • Strong understanding of stack and heap objects and exploit-relevant vulnerabilities.
  • Demonstrated ability to discover new vulnerabilities in complex systems.
  • Experience with both manual analysis and automated vulnerability discovery techniques such as fuzzing.
  • Ability to code and debug in C, Python, and Assembly for x86-64, ARM, and similar environments.
  • Ability to independently translate an under-defined mission objective into a concrete technical capability.
  • Comfort operating with minimal supervision and incomplete problem definitions.
  • TS/SCI clearance required; inactive SCI is acceptable if SCI-clearable.
  • Ability to travel to customer sites as required and work on-site in cleared spaces for extended periods.
  • Experience with exploit development and vulnerability research is strongly implied as a core qualification.

Benefits

  • Base salary range of $154,800 to $193,500.
  • Eligibility for a discretionary bonus program or commission plan based on individual and organizational performance.
  • Remote work-from-home arrangement with travel to a customer location in Alabama.
  • Reasonable accommodations available for qualified individuals with disabilities.
  • Comprehensive background check process for positions involving sensitive information.
  • Opportunity to work in a collaborative, inclusive environment that values diverse backgrounds and perspectives.
