Offensive Cyber EngineerAs 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!
Responsibilities:
- 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
Preferred Qualifications- 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
