Job Description

• Focus on end-to-end exploit development for real-world targets. • Design, develop, and validate novel vulnerability discovery and exploitation capabilities against complex software and systems. • Work at the operating system, binary, and micro-architectural levels, emphasizing creating new technical capabilities. • Comfort operating with minimal supervision, incomplete problem definitions, and delayed feedback.

Job Requirements

Design, develop, and validate novel vulnerability discovery and exploitation capabilities.
Conduct expert reverse engineering of binaries (x86-64, ARM64, etc.) using industry-standard tools.
Identify and exploit real-world vulnerabilities such as Use-after-free, Type confusion, Integer truncation, and Buffer overflow.
Demonstrate ability to discover new, novel vulnerabilities in complex systems.
Rapidly understand current vulnerability research and apply findings to identify new instances of vulnerability classes.
Employ both manual analysis and automated techniques (e.g., fuzzing) for vulnerability discovery.
Code and debug complex functions in C, Python, and Assembly (x86-64, ARM, etc.).
Independently manage and execute research objectives, including scoping, research, experimentation, validation, and iteration.
Travel to customer sites as required.
Perform on-site for extended periods of time.
TS/SCI clearance required (inactive SCI acceptable if SCI-clearable).
