About this Role

You'll be at the heart of our CNO operations, performing reverse engineering and developing software for network-based devices in a fast-paced, mission-centric environment.

Your responsibilities will include:
  • Deriving, documenting, and analyzing stakeholder requirements to ensure mission alignment
  • Porting, modifying, and augmenting existing toolsets to meet evolving operational needs
  • Providing rapid prototypes for early validation and user feedback, demonstrating a deep understanding of mission requirements
  • Developing production-ready tools that operate seamlessly within mission constraints
  • Supporting fielded software systems and ensuring continuous operational capability

You'll have the opportunity to make a tangible impact on national security by translating complex requirements into robust, reliable software solutions.

Requirements

To be successful in this role, you need:
  • 6+ years of experience with a B.S. in a technical discipline, OR 8+ years of experience without a B.S., OR 4+ years of experience with an M.S. in a technical discipline
  • Deep familiarity with Unix-based systems (BSD, Linux, UNIX, etc.)
  • Hands-on experience with reverse engineering Linux-based network devices using Ghidra and/or IDA Pro
  • In-depth understanding of network protocols (TCP/IP) and network traffic analysis (Wireshark)
  • Proficiency in producing and modifying software systems in C/C++, Python, and Assembly
  • Demonstrated ability to support fielded software systems in operational environments
  • Familiarity with Git, Subversion, and Atlassian tools (Jira, Confluence)

Preferred Skills

We'd love to see experience with:
  • Reverse engineering various RTOS or Microsoft Windows systems
  • RISC processors (MIPS, POWER, ARM)
  • Programming languages such as Java, JavaScript, Bash, PowerShell, Perl, C#, Rust, or Go
  • Developing CNO-specific software in Linux, Windows, or embedded applications
  • Vulnerability research and exploit development
  • End-to-end SIGINT collection and analysis systems
  • Production CNO capabilities and operations

Benefits at Bitwise
  • Top salaries because we're top performers

  • All 11 federal holidays, paid!
  • Up to 2 snow days, paid!
  • 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.
