- Reverse engineer Linux binaries, including legitimate and malicious software, to understand system behavior, vulnerabilities, exploits, and undocumented functionality.
- Conduct vulnerability research and develop proof-of-concept exploits targeting Linux systems and kernel-level components.
- Analyze kernel crashes, identify root causes, and perform low-level debugging and troubleshooting.
- Research and develop techniques to identify, analyze, and assess vulnerabilities across Linux systems and software.
- Collaborate with cybersecurity researchers, analysts, and software engineers to support offensive cyber operations and security-focused development efforts.
- Analyze Linux malware and exploitation techniques to understand system compromise and potential attack vectors.
- Document technical findings, architectures, research methodologies, and procedures clearly for internal teams and external clients.
Qualifications:
- Active TS/SCI clearance (with active polygraph or willingness to obtain).
- 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 and debugging tools such as IDA Pro, Ghidra, GDB, LLDB, and Binary Ninja.
- In-depth understanding of Linux internals, including kernel subsystems, system calls, memory management, processes/threads, networking, and device drivers.
- Experience with kernel-level debugging, crash analysis, and root cause analysis.
- Experience conducting vulnerability research and developing proof-of-concept exploits.
- Familiarity with Linux security mechanisms and exploit mitigations, including ASLR, NX, stack canaries, seccomp, namespaces, and capabilities.
- Strong understanding of Linux malware behavior, exploitation techniques, and attack methodologies.
What We Offer:
- Competitive salary and benefits package.
- Opportunities for professional growth and development.
- A collaborative and innovative work culture.
