Linux Developer

STEM Solutions

Linux Developer

We are seeking a highly skilled Linux Developer with strong reverse engineering capabilities to support advanced research, systems development, and threat analysis. This role requires deep knowledge of the Linux operating system internals, low-level programming, and the ability to analyze and deconstruct binaries for vulnerabilities, malware, or undocumented system behavior.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Design, develop, and maintain low-level kernel-mode components, drivers, and subsystems for Linux platforms.
  • Perform reverse engineering of Linux binaries (both legitimate and malicious) to understand system behavior, exploits, or undocumented APIs.
  • Conduct vulnerability research and proof-of-concept exploit development.
  • Analyze crash dumps, root cause bugs, and provide kernel-level debugging and troubleshooting support.
  • Collaborate with cybersecurity researchers, analysts, and software engineers to support security-focused development efforts.
  • Document findings, architecture, and procedures clearly for internal teams or external clients.
Qualifications:
  • Active TS/SCI clearance.
  • 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 tools such as IDA Pro, Ghidra, x64dbg, and Hex-Rays.
  • In-depth understanding of Linux internals (e.g., kernel-mode drivers, memory management, system calls, PE file format).
  • Experience with kernel-mode debugging and root cause analysis.
  • Familiarity with secure coding practices and low-level exploit mitigation techniques (e.g., PatchGuard, CFG, DEP/ASLR).
  • Strong understanding of malware behavior and techniques (if cybersecurity-focused).
What We Offer:
  • Competitive salary and benefits package.
  • Opportunities for professional growth and development.
  • A collaborative and innovative work culture.
Why Us?
  • Work on mission-driven technology at the cutting edge of cybersecurity and national defense.
  • Join a passionate, elite team of innovators and problem-solvers.
  • Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits.
  • Opportunities for career growth and leadership development.
  • Be part of a culture that values innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning.
