Job Description

At Cryptic Vector, we are dedicated to mission success. We take the time to understand our customers' needs, delivering products that perform when our nation needs them most. We understand that properly supporting the most unique missions of the United States government requires the nation’s best. Our focus is on creating a culture where the best and brightest want to grow, learn, and stay. If coming up with out-of-the-box solutions is your specialty, then you’ll feel right at home at Cryptic Vector. We are solving the country’s most unique problems in an environment where problem solvers and hard workers thrive. We've replaced corporate red tape with transparency and servant leadership. Honestly, it’s hard not to love this culture! We value the individual experiences that our team members add to our culture and capabilities. Please don't hesitate to apply even if you don't meet the exact qualifications! We are interested in varying levels of experience. 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. This is work that demands deep technical fluency, creative problem-solving, and the ability to build solutions that hold up when everything is on the line. If you’re motivated by conquering tough challenges and having your expertise translate into high-impact results, this role is for you!
