  • Evaluate and reverse-engineer tools and frameworks used to attack or evade our products, documenting findings and attack vectors.
  • Lead and participate in structured brainstorming sessions to generate novel detection ideas and countermeasures.
  • Help design, prototype, and implement new detection techniques and algorithms for different operating systems.
  • Help develop, maintain, and improve internal tooling and automation to accelerate analysis, triage, and detection development.
  • Perform and contribute to internal penetration testing and adversary emulation of newly introduced security features to validate effectiveness.
  • Conduct thorough code reviews and technical reviews of detection-related contributions to ensure quality, maintainability, and correctness.

    • Required Skills & Experience

  • Proven ability to collaborate effectively within a team environment, including forming and leading focused sub-groups to deliver specific project features or research objectives.
  • Proficiency in reverse engineering using tools such as IDA Pro, Ghidra, or equivalent, including experience writing scripts, leveraging their SDKs, and isolating and reporting technical issues.
  • Solid programming experience in C, C++, Python and Java, with the ability to produce efficient, maintainable, and secure code.
  • Good knowledge of the ELF and MachO file formats and a general good understanding on how to consult the official documentation.
  • Familiarity with the LLVM framework is considered a plus.
