Reverse Engineer (All Levels)

Full-time

Adaptic

Break What Others  Can't: Join us as a Reverse Engineer! 

At Adaptic, reverse engineers dive beneath the surface—analyzing software, uncovering vulnerabilities, and understanding systems at their core. Supporting the DoD and Intelligence Community, you'll help expose how technologies work, where they break, and how they can be leveraged to support mission needs. 

Whether you're early in your career or leading advanced analysis efforts, we're looking for Reverse Engineers at all levels who are curious, analytical, and driven to solve complex technical challenges. 

Your Impact  

You'll work across software and systems to analyze, deconstruct, and understand technologies at a fundamental level. Day-to-day, that can look like: 

  • Performing reverse engineering and debugging on software, binaries, and system components 
  • Identifying software defects, vulnerabilities, and potential exploitation paths 
  • Researching open-source and emerging vulnerabilities to assess system risk 
  • Developing methods and techniques to determine if running software is vulnerable 
  • Analyzing malicious binaries, malware, and adversary techniques 
  • Supporting identification of risks and providing mitigation strategies 
  • Working with low-level code, including assembly and compiled languages 
  • Leveraging industry-standard reverse engineering tools (e.g., Ghidra, IDA Pro, debuggers) 
  • Analyzing system behavior across operating systems, memory, and processes 
  • Supporting development of proof-of-concept code, scripts, or analysis artifacts 
  • Automating reverse engineering and analysis workflows where possible 
  • Collaborating with cross-functional teams to support mission objectives 

Qualifications

  • All positions require an active TS/SCI with polygraph 
  • Experience with low-level programming and assembly language 
  • Proficiency in C, C++, Python, or similar languages 
  • Experience using reverse engineering tools and techniques 
  • Strong understanding of system internals (operating systems, memory, binaries) 
  • Experience analyzing complex or malicious code and identifying vulnerabilities 
  • Familiarity with networking concepts and how systems communicate 
  • Ability to problem-solve in complex, mission-driven environments 
  • A degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience) 

Nice to Have 

  • Experience with malware analysis, IOC/APT analysis, and signature development (YARA, SNORT) 
  • Experience with exploit development or vulnerability research 
  • Experience developing software for embedded systems or firmware analysis 
  • Experience automating reverse engineering tasks or workflows 
  • Familiarity with CNO environments, tools, or methodologies 
  • Experience with packet analysis, traffic inspection, or network-based analysis 
  • Exposure to version control or collaborative development environments 

Break it down. Build the insight.   Apply now to learn more about our extensive benefits and customizable compensation packages.
