Job description

Our client conducts R&D and prototyping of new CNO capabilities for the end customer. The work involves Vulnerability Research, Exploit Development, CNO tool development and enhancement, and infrastructure support (DevOps). Platforms involved include iOS, Android, MacOS, Linux, Windows, and other environments. This is some of the most impactful work in the Intelligence Community, with the new capabilities developed by this team getting rapidly deployed and into the hands of users. One of the best things about this project is the customer. They give Engineers huge latitude in choosing programming languages and technologies, and they encourage exploration of new tech. There is almost no distinction here between blue-badgers and green-badgers: the team is highly-competent, and the Branch and Section Leads do an excellent job of shielding the engineers from any organizational politics.

We are seeking a highly skilled Virtualization-Savvy CNO Developer to join the Virtualization team to support mission-critical cyber operations and development of new and existing capabilities.

Work on this program takes place in various locations at and around the Annapolis Junction, MD area (we cannot support remote work).

• Experience developing and maintaining low-level C software in Windows, virtualized systems, and embedded systems.
• Experience doing reverse engineering for debugging on diverse architectures
• 5-10+ years of experience with C development
• Experience implementing and optimizing memory management techniques for performance and stability in constrained environments.
• Experience with CNO Development on virtualized environments(e.g. VMware, Hyper-V)
• In-depth understanding of network protocols and SSL security layers
• 2+ years of cybersecurity/CNO-specific development
• PYTHON scripting experience a PLUS
• Degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering (or something extremely similar)
