Application Developer (AD), Level 2** An active TS//SCI clearance with polygraph is required for this role **
About this RoleYou will join a team breaking new ground in AI-assisted tools for reverse engineering and software development. We're looking for a Software Engineer with a solid foundation in Linux, software development, and familiarity with reverse engineering to help evolve how reverse engineers work - combining binary analysis, disassembly, and workflow optimization with emerging AI techniques.
In this role, you will:
- Design and build tooling enhancements for reverse engineering workflows
- Experiment with autonomous or semi-autonomous agents to support development
- Automate common reverse engineering tasks, including analysis and documentation
- Apply AI-assisted techniques to binary analysis, annotation, and pattern identification
- Work directly with customers and teammates to shape and refine solutions
- Measure and document the effectiveness of tooling improvements
- Grow your AI/LLM expertise along the way as you prototype, evaluate, and refine experimental tooling
Requirements- 6 years of experience as a Software Engineer, OR a Master's degree in a technical discipline with 4 years of experience, OR a Bachelor's degree in a technical discipline with 4 additional years of experience
- Hands-on experience with reverse engineering tools such as Ghidra or IDA Pro
- Strong understanding of low-level concepts: Linux file formats, assembly, binaries, memory, and calling conventions
- Curiosity about AI/LLMs and some hands-on dabbling - you're ready to deepen that skill set on the job
- Experience developing tools, scripts, or plugins for analysis workflows
- Proficiency in at least one reverse engineering-relevant scripting or programming language (e.g., Python, C/C++, etc.)
- Ability to prototype, evaluate, and refine experimental tooling
- Proficiency with Atlassian Tools (Jira, Confluence)
Preferred Skills- Reverse engineering Linux-based network devices or embedded systems
- Reverse engineering network traffic and web applications
- Familiarity with firmware analysis, bootloaders, and networking protocols
- Experience applying automation or AI to reverse engineering tasks
- Familiarity with agentic AI frameworks or orchestration systems
- Experience with additional programming languages (Java, C)
- Analyzing cyber security-related data sets (network traffic, OS events)
- Knowledge of end-to-end SIGINT collection and analysis systems
- Experience with production CNO capabilities and operations
Benefits at Bitwise- Top salaries because we're top performers

- We'll quadruple (4x!) the first 6% you contribute to your 401(k), giving you up to a 24% company match. Contributing less than 6%? Unclaimed matches come right back to you as extra income, giving you a guaranteed 24% that goes to your retirement, to your paycheck, or both. C'mon now!
- 100% employer-paid medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurances. That's a lot. Already covered on health insurance? No problem - we'll trade you this benefit for a boost to your salary instead.
- $5,250 annual education assistance for training, certifications, tuition, and even student loan repayments.
- Spot bonuses for obtained certifications, customer recognition, and just about anything else that makes us go "Hot damn!". We hope to say that many times about you.
