About the role

  • Source and prepare diverse compiled‑software datasets; own ingestion, labeling, and quality (metadata, reproducibility, version control).
  • Research and automate firmware extraction, unpacking, and structural analysis for higher‑precision workflows.
  • Build vulnerability feed automation; link code changes to known CVEs and surface prioritized fixes.
  • Translate vulnerability & behavior insights into training/evaluation datasets; review model outputs to refine curation, quality, and interpretability.
  • Prototype AI‑assisted RE workflows (function labeling, behavior clustering, automated triage, summarization).
  • Explore how generative models augment reverse engineering, static/dynamic analysis, and vulnerability discovery.
  • Integrate research into production systems; evolve shared infrastructure for dataset management, reproducibility, and continuous evaluation.
  • Support internal tooling and code health that streamlines collaboration across security, engineering, and AI.
  • Enable AI to reason about compiled software at scale, improving detection accuracy, explainability, and product readiness.
  • Contribute to the broader research community through benchmarking, responsible disclosure, and publications.

Requirements

  • A creative problem solver who thrives on taking apart binaries to uncover what’s really happening inside
  • Deep experience in reverse engineering using tools such as IDA Pro, Ghidra, Binary Ninja, or x64dbg
  • Proficient in C, C++, Go, or Rust, and fluent in scripting languages like Python, Bash, or PowerShell
  • Skilled in static/dynamic analysis, vulnerability research, and binary exploitation
  • Familiar with firmware internals, network protocol fuzzing, and malware behavior analysis
  • Curious about applying AI/ML and LLMs to automate reverse engineering and vulnerability detection
  • Comfortable in cloud-native environments (AWS/GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform) and modern application stacks (microservices, containers)
  • Known for independence, rigor, and a strong bias for hands-on experimentation
  • Bonus: Published or presented work at Black Hat, DEF CON, REcon, RSAC, or BSides
Benefits
  • Fully remote-first environment with in-person team offsites twice per year
  • Competitive compensation with equity
  • Comprehensive health benefits: medical, dental, and vision coverage; free One Medical annual membership
  • 401(k) plan and Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
  • 11 company holidays + unlimited PTO
  • Home office stipend to support your remote workspace setup
