Vulnerability Researcher/Reverse Engineer (TS/SCI w/Poly)

Ready for a challenge that will keep you on the edge of cybersecurity? Are you an experienced vulnerability researcher and reverse engineer who thrives in a fast-paced environment working with a collaborative team? If so, then apply today and be part of a team that supports the United States Cyber Command (USCC), where you will have a significant impact on the mission. Join our team of best-in-industry cyber warriors dedicated to providing superior service in support of national defense objectives. A TS/SCI w/ polygraph is required for consideration.

What You'll Be Doing: 

• Conduct advanced vulnerability research and reverse engineering on target software and hardware systems to identify exploitable weaknesses for cyberspace capability development. 

• Perform technical analysis of target platforms, including discovery of zero-day vulnerabilities through fuzzing and code analysis. 

• Reverse engineer software applications, firmware, and hardware components using disassemblers, debuggers, and binary analysis tools. 

• Perform vulnerability discovery through automated fuzzing, manual code review, and dynamic/static analysis techniques. 

• Rapidly prototype proof-of-concept exploits to validate vulnerability findings and assess operational utility. 

• Analyze target system architectures, protocols, and security mechanisms to identify attack surfaces and weakness patterns. 

• Document vulnerability technical details, exploitation methodology, and recommended capability development approaches. 

• Provide technical intelligence briefs to capability developers on target system weaknesses and exploitation pathways. 

• Collaborate with capability development teams to translate vulnerability research into operational tools. 

• Maintain awareness of public vulnerability disclosures, exploit techniques, and adversary tradecraft relevant to target systems. 

• Apply offensive cyber domain expertise, including red/purple team operations, to develop and deliver mission-critical solutions. 

• Conduct limited TDY travel as mission requires. 

What Qualifications You'll Bring:   

• Active TS/SCI with Poly 

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field and 8+ years of related professional experience; Master's degree will be considered in lieu of 3 years of experience; 4+ years additional experience may be considered in lieu of degree

• USCC JQR qualified (Joint Qualification Record) personnel with proven experience in offensive cyber operations or equivalent contract/civilian work 

• Proficiency with disassemblers/decompilers (IDA Pro, Ghidra, Binary Ninja) 

• Strong understanding of x86/x64/ARM assembly language and processor architectures 

• Practical experience with debuggers (WinDbg, GDB, LLDB) and dynamic analysis tools 

• Demonstrated capability discovering vulnerabilities in compiled software (C/C++/Rust applications) 

• Understanding of common vulnerability classes (memory corruption, logic flaws, race conditions) 

• Proficiency with fuzzing frameworks (AFL, libFuzzer, Honggfuzz) and corpus management 

• Strong scripting skills (Python, Ruby, or similar) for automation and analysis 

• Experience documenting technical research for both technical and operational audie
