The Mission

Design, build, and validate exploit and implant toolchains used in realistic adversary emulation. Your engineering work will enable red team operations that inform senior DoD mission-assurance decisions.

• Produce technical annexes and concise executive/technical briefings.

Required

• Active TS/SCI (U.S. citizen).
• Proficient in C/C++, assembly, and Windows internals (kernel & Win32 APIs).
• Demonstrated exploit development experience (memory corruption, ROP, bypass mitigations).
• Ability to pass the DCART Senior Developer Aptitude Test (SDAT).

Preferred

• Experience with C2 frameworks; Cobalt Strike experience is a plus (nice-to-have, not mandatory).
• OSEP/OSEE/OSCP/GREM/GXPN or equivalent practical creds.
• Experience building operational-grade implants and delivery pipelines.

Apply: Cleared resume, 1–2 page technical write-up (no classified info), and readiness for SDAT.
