Reverse Engineer

Location: Chantilly, VA (on-site client environment)

Clearance: TS/SCI with Polygraph

Compensation: Competitive, Excellent Benefits

Only applicants with the active required security clearance and are U.S. Citizens will be reviewed.

Armison Tech is a minority owned small business, established in 2012, located in the Northern Virginia area. We're a company predominantly focused on cyber security for our government customers, yet our expertise in other areas includes big data analytics, instructional design, information management, and computer network infrastructure. We invest in our employees' careers by participating in cutting edge cyber security training and attending industry-leading conferences. As a small business we offer flexibility and powerful benefits supporting our most important assets, our employees and their families.

Armison Tech is constantly searching for exceptionally qualified technology professionals who would make a great addition to our team. Our staff, just like our clients and the work we do, is what makes Armison Tech a truly effective partner. We help each of our new employees make adjustments to our operational methods, ensuring every professional can handle the workload of each project by resolving any relevant concerns or issues they may have relating to this recent career shift.

Our hiring process seeks to accentuate the raw talent and skill-set of our team members. Along with the importance of experience and education, Armison Tech looks for superior analytical and communication abilities that separate our employees from what we’ve seen while working with similar companies. Individuals we employ must have a demonstrated ability to excel in high-pressure situations which have a real impact on the modern world so we can continue to keep pace with the competition and the evolving fields of technology.

As a Reverse Engineer, you will dissect and decompile malicious code. You have the skills to remove obfuscation, decrypt the strings, identify the command‑and‑control links, find the functions, and even determine the compiler language used to make the malware being examined.

This is a team that will afford you the time, resources, and toolsets, to dive deep and explore the most advanced malware exemplars you have ever seen. You will be conducting examinations and analysis of emerging nefarious technologies and previously unknown exploits.

The appropriate candidate should have experience with the following:

• Must maintain active/current TS/SCI with a polygraph clearance.
• 5+ years of experience with functional testing and testing cybersecurity software.
• Experience with analyzing malicious code exemplars.
• Experience with software development, including reading assembly code.
• Experience with tools such as Ida Pro, Ghidra, and Olly Debug.
• Knowledge of Windows API calls.
• Experience working independently, or with limited guidance, and providing both dynamic and static analysis.
