Zusammenfassung

Zealot Labs, Inc. is building AI-driven vulnerability research tools in London, on-site, backed by tier-1 investors. The team features alumni from Anthropic, xAI, and Anduril, with a strong focus on practical exploitation, emulation, and ML infrastructure for automated analysis.

We design and run agentic systems to target firmware, networks, and IoT, using QEMU, Unicorn, Qiling, and advanced debuggers. If you’re sharp, hungry, and ready to ship, join our small team with high ownership.

Qualifikationen

• 2–3+ years across systems programming (C/C++, Rust) and ML infrastructure.
• Comfort with binary analysis, memory corruption classes, and modern mitigations (ASLR, CFI, PAC, MTE).
• Hands‑on work with agent harnesses — orchestration, tool‑use, eval loops — in production or benchmark scale.

Aufgaben

• Help design and build agentic systems that autonomously perform vulnerability research against real targets: firmware, network stacks, mobile OSes, and IoT.
• Wire emulation (QEMU, Unicorn, Qiling), instrumentation (Frida, DynamoRIO), fuzzing, and exploit primitives into tool interfaces for agents.
• Build the evaluation and benchmarking infrastructure that tells us whether any of it is actually working.

Compensation Competitive base + skin in the game equity

Location London, United Kingdom On Site

Stage Early-stage startup backed by tier 1 investors. Small, growing team with exceptionally high ownership.

• + Help design and build our agentic systems that autonomously perform vulnerability research against real targets: firmware, network stacks, mobile OSes, and IoT.
• + Wire emulation (QEMU, Unicorn, Qiling), instrumentation (Frida, DynamoRIO), fuzzing, and exploit primitives into tool interfaces for agents.
• + Build the evaluation and benchmarking infrastructure that tells us whether any of it is actually working.
• + 2–3+ years across systems programming (C/C++, Rust) and ML infrastructure.
• + Comfort with binary analysis, memory corruption classes, and modern mitigations (ASLR, CFI, PAC, MTE).
• + Hands‑on work with agent harnesses — orchestration, tool‑use, eval loops — in production or at benchmark scale.
• + Fluency with at least one emulation stack (QEMU, Unicorn, Qiling, PANDA, FirmAE).
• + Strong RE / debugger chops (GDB, IDA or Ghidra) and the patience to use them.

Nice to Have

• + Pwn-heavy CTF experience (DEF CON finals, PPP, DiceGang, Shellphish, Theori, Team Atlanta).
• + Public CVEs, conference talks, or AIxCC / CGC participation.
• + Kernel or baseband RE.
• + That requirements list is what the fully‑formed version of this role looks like. It's not a filter. If you're sharp, hungry, and funny, apply anyway, even if half the bullets read like a foreign language today.
• + Tech can be learned. Spirit cannot. We've watched the right people pick up binary analysis from scratch and outship ten‑year veterans inside a year.
• + Tell us what you've taught yourself recently and what you'd tear into first here.
