  • Experience with reverse engineering tools such as Binary Ninja, IDA Pro, or Ghidra.

  • Solid understanding of mobile platform internals, Android, iOS, or both.

  • U.S. citizenship.

  • Based in, or willing to relocate to, the Washington, DC metro area. The role is remote day-to-day, with periodic on-site work at client facilities in the DC area.

  • Nice to Have

  • Background in vulnerability research, including published CVEs.

  • Experience with fuzzing.

  • Familiarity with AI/LLM-driven workflows.

  • Prior work on government-funded research programs.
