Job Description:

As an Offensive Cyber Engineer, you’ll dive deep into reverse engineering and vulnerability research on software and firmware, turning raw binaries into actionable intelligence and building exploits and capabilities that perform under real-world pressure. You will systematically deconstruct complex code to reveal its inner workings, uncover hidden behaviors, and identify exploitable flaws. You’ll also design and develop post-exploitation effects and implants that are robust, stealthy, and engineered to resist both forensic scrutiny and active countermeasures.

Job Responsibility:

Reverse Engineering (RE) of software/firmware, Vulnerability Research (VR), exploit development/productization
Deconstruct and analyze software/firmware to understand its structure, functionality, and behavior
Design/develop post-exploitation effects in software/firmware, which can withstand scrutiny and attack
Design/develop secure, reliable, software-based communication solutions
Design/develop stealth solutions
Employ industry-standard tools such as Ghidra, IDA Pro, Wireshark, and Hex editors (e.g., Hex Workshop) to reverse engineer software components
Develop scripts and tools in C, Assembly, Rust, and Python to automate and enhance reverse engineering processes
Collaborate with hardware teams to understand and interact with physical devices. This includes connecting probes, using logic analyzers, and decoding signals on hardware
Write unit tests, functional tests, and end-to-end tests
Prepare detailed reports documenting the findings, methodologies, and potential implications of reverse engineering efforts
Work closely with cross-functional teams to provide insights and technical expertise on reverse-engineered software/hardware

Requirements:

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
Strong programming skills in C, Assembly, and Python
Extensive experience with reverse engineering tools such as Ghidra, IDA Pro, and Wireshark
Proficiency with x86 architecture, or other modern architecture, and Hex editors
Ability to interface with hardware, including connecting probes to traces, using logic analyzers, and decoding hardware signals
Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to think critically and creatively in analyzing software and hardware components
Meticulous attention to detail, especially when dealing with complex codebases and hardware systems
Priority will be given to candidates with an active Top Secret (TS) clearance

Nice to have:

Experience working with embedded systems or IoT devices
Familiarity with other assembly languages beyond x86 (e.g., ARM)
Knowledge of network protocols and cybersecurity principles

What we offer:

100% Company-paid medical insurance for employees
100% Company-paid dental and vision insurance
Competitive salary and bonus
25% 401k company contribution
Generous PTO, parental leave, bereavement leave, and volunteer time
