Responsibilities
- Direct the planning and execution of high-visibility, mission-critical programs, providing expert technical leadership and innovation in reverse engineering (RE) and vulnerability research (VR).
- Tackle complex problems with no known solutions, demonstrating a high degree of creativity while mentoring a team of technical experts to foster growth and knowledge-sharing.
- Author authoritative technical reports, white papers, and proposals that clearly convey research findings and cybersecurity solutions to both technical and business stakeholders.
- Exert a leadership presence across the company, contributing to strategy development and ensuring customer satisfaction by delivering cutting-edge solutions aligned with national security requirements.
Requirements
- Demonstrated expertise in advanced cybersecurity research concepts typically acquired in a similar technical role.
- Expert-level proficiency in two or more of the following: low-level programming (C/C++, Assembly) and the use of industry-standard disassemblers and decompilers, binary re-hosting frameworks to enable dynamic analysis, and building custom greybox/blackbox fuzzing harnesses.
- Proven experience in vulnerability research (VR), including attack surface triage, identifying vulnerabilities, and developing proof-of-concept exploits to demonstrate security impact.
- Extensive experience in technical mentorship and training, with a history of providing thorough solutions to complex problems and guiding less experienced team members.
- Experience leading complex technical projects in reverse engineering/vulnerability research (RE/VR) or R&D for National Security customers.
- Experience delivering high‑quality technical documentation—such as vulnerability research and findings, industry white papers, and competitive proposals—that distills complex cybersecurity concepts for diverse audiences.
- Experience in a client-facing technical role, demonstrating strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
- Active Top Secret clearance and willingness to obtain and maintain an SCI clearance.
Nice to Have
- Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
- Familiarity with embedded systems binary reverse engineering (e.g., ARM/MIPS/PPC arch, RTOS, Linux, Baremetal) or cryptographic design principles.
- Experience in trusted computing design and implementation principles.
- Experience with digital signals (e.g., UART, JTAG, SPI, I2C) or network protocol analysis.
- Experience with accelerated RE/VR tools that speed up discovery, analysis, and validation.
- Recognized standing within the external technical community, including experience in publishing articles or speaking at external engagements.
Additional Information
- Active Top Secret clearance and willingness to obtain and maintain an SCI clearance.
