The focus will be on identifying impactful security vulnerabilities across a variety of architectures and platforms. You will be collaborating with engineers based in Australia, UK and the United States.

Your responsibilities include contributing to the design, implementation, integration and hands-on analyses to improve the understanding of the behavior of the software that is under evaluation via practical solutions.

• 10+ years of operational experience in relevant topics such as software testing (including fuzzing, pen-testing), reverse engineering, dynamic monitoring of systems, or malware analysis

• Knowledge of common exploitation countermeasures such as CFI, ASLR, etc.
• Excellent programming skills in C, C++ and/or Python
