  • Collaborate with users and analysts to improve tooling and mission capabilities.

Position Required Skills:
  • Experience with professional software development in JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python.
  • Knowledge of building and maintaining enterprise-grade, distributed web applications and system architectures.
  • Experience with DevOps automation, cloud service providers (e.g., AWS), and Infrastructure-as-Code methodologies.
  • Knowledge of modern software engineering principles, including version control, testing frameworks, and agile workflows.
  • Experience with high-side development environments and non-attributed network configurations.

Position Desired Skills:
  • Experience or interest in offensive cyber operations, vulnerability research, and software reverse engineering.
  • Knowledge of Android application architecture and experience or interest in mobile vulnerability research.
  • Experience with low-level programming in C/C++ and utilizing debuggers such as gdb or similar tools.
