The Role
Develop custom Android and native software tools for mission-focused cyber operations. Responsibilities include end-to-end development, debugging, network programming, reverse engineering, exploit proof-of-concept development, vulnerability analysis, documentation, and mentoring junior developers. The role requires deep knowledge of Unix internals, binary formats, security protections, mobile security, and packet-level networking, along with a Top Secret clearance and full-scope polygraph or ability to obtain one.
